Google Search as you know it is over | TechCrunch

Google is transforming Search from a list of links into an AI-powered experience filled with conversational answers, autonomous agents, and

#anybody have search engine recs?

Yes!

I personally use Qwant. It gives you normal-ass search results, doesn't cram AI down your throat, and is very privacy-focused. It doesn't always have the most complete results but it's been perfectly fine for my daily use - it's been my primary search engine for a couple years now.

Duck Duck Go is also very good. They do have an AI search option but it's truly an option. They're also quite privacy-focused but they are based in the US (Qwant is headquartered in France). They're also available in more regions than Qwant is. I used it for a year or so but the AI bugged me.

I've heard good things about Startpage though I haven't used it myself. Its big selling point for a while was they used google's search results without tracking you, though if google doesn't *have* search results anymore who knows what their future holds. Based in NL.

There are others of course but those are where I'd start if you're sick of google's bullshit.

The No AI version of DuckDuckGo – I've used regular DuckDuckGo for years, but even with all the AI options supposedly turned off, I've recently had trouble finding actual webpages (as opposed to AI-translated garbage) with Finnish-language queries, and the No AI version has so far delivered better results. (Caveat: my queries are work-related, ie. medical and sometimes obscure. Your mileage may vary.)

Trump Moves to Deeply Censor the Entire Internet

The Trump administration is cynically exploiting calls for stricter AI regulation to pass broad censorship measures at the federal level.

So, in terrible news, Trump's trying to pull some strings to pass this massive internet censorship bill, featuring all the kinds of internet censorship we're terrified of, including mandatory ID for accessing basically any website, specifically to crush state regulation of AI, because apparently this man will always see the moral bottom of the barrel and start digging.

So, if you live in the US and hate censorship and AI you know what to do, contact your congresspeople and tell them do not fucking dare let this through or so help us god...

URGENT: We’re one bad D.C. deal away from the era of online government censorship.

Congress and the White House are negotiating your online speech rights away. Tell lawmakers: reject KOSA, NO FAKES, and age-verification man

Why is it that every time I google something like "Are olives poisonous to cats" the top results are always like "Fun fact: Cats are carnivores! This means that they eat meat. There is no reason to include olives in a cat's diet. You should feed your cat cat food, which is dry or wet food especially designed for cats. You can purchase this at a store." like is there a single person alive on the planet who's googled "Are blueberry muffins safe for cats" because they're planning on switching their cat to a muffin-only diet??? No, I'm asking because the little bastard somehow popped open the packet while I was putting away the groceries and dragged one under the couch before I could react and now I need to know if I should call the after-hours vet. "Cats should not eat spaghetti." NO SHIT, SHERLOCK!!!! "Try to keep human food away from cats." i live in a studio apartment with a completely silent and permanently hungry apex predator who has the intelligence of a toddler and the desperate Machiavellian cunning of a creature who spent his formative months on the streets. He can already open doors and he is this 👌 close to learning how to open the microwave. He is stronger than me and covered in knives. So im gonna do my best but for the moment i just need you to tell me whether this yoghurt is going to kill my son y/n

I've been using the pet poison hotline's poison list cause it has a search function. It also tells you whether something is mildly, moderately, or severely toxic which can be very handy! It doesn't contain like everything but it might be a good place to start, it also includes plants for fellow houseplant lovers <3

For plants specifically, there’s also a wildly detailed set of posts and listings about toxicity on the old, wonderful, Plants Are the Strangest People blog
