Me (A time traveler visiting 20-year old Mozart): OK, so, this is called an electric guitar, basically instead of the body functioning as a resonance chamber, it produces music by harnessing the power of lightning. Do you have any other questions?

Mozart (Currently shredding Violin Concerto No. 1 on the guitar, having figured it out within 30 seconds): What other music can be made from harnessed lightning?

Me (Loading up some heavy dubstep): Oh, we're just getting started.

My high school English teacher also taught at a different school before coming to ours and she had Woody Harrelson as her student (in my parents’ hometown). She said he was a good kid but his Cheers character wasn’t much of a reach for him…🤣

borgswapped janeway and seven is hilarious though.

you are annika "seven shots" hansen, brand new science ensign aboard the uss voyager, just graduated, ready to run as far from earth as space can take you. in pursuit of the maquis, you end up in the delta quadrant, marooned on said maquis' ship and awkwardly folding into their crew along with the rest of yours. your new captain, chakotay, is struggling to unite the starfleet and maquis crews. you yourself are not impressed, but over time, he wins your respect and your crew begins to work together to get back to the alpha quadrant.

you remain to the side of the crew, not ostracised, but a little alone. you pick up some shifts in the improvised medbay. occasionally, other crewmembers try to befriend you, or flirt with you, but that stops after you broke a crewman's wrist in a panic. b'elanna, at least, grudgingly approves. you have breakfast once a week with her and passive aggressively snipe at each other the whole time. it's the highlight of your social calendar.

then you meet the borg. based off your parents' crackpot notes, you strongarm chakotay into making a pact with the borg and you two liberate yourselves the only human drone you've met - one of the many starfleet lost in action, former chief science officer kathryn janeway, who is reckless, insane, angry, and bitterly driven to destroy the borg and protect her new crew with everything she has.

she's been assimilated for as long as you've been alive and had traumas that predate your conception. the joint funeral for her old ship was highly attended. she was the dead bestfriend of the turncoat security officer chakotay is still mad about having trusted. her every plan is an abstract suicide attempt and she does things to the ship's engines to get it going faster that makes your heart faint and b'elanna's hair grey. she has screaming arguments with the captain in the Mess Hall and insists on patching noxiously brewed coffee that make her borg-stomach sick into an iv line. she is absolutely petrified to be close to you in case she assimilates you by accident.

you still haven't beaten her at Velocity.

and what do you think to yourself then, annika "seven shots" hansen, thinly-masked neurodivergent who prefers machines to people and is openly scornful of the social rules everyone else seems to know (while also, desperately wishing you understood them yourself)?

"I bet I can fix her."

random PSA, I know a lot of people use duckduckgo as a Google alternative search engine, but it always kind of annoyed me when I was using it because it felt like No Name Brand Google

I have switched to using Startpage.com and vastly prefer it. for one thing, instead of displaying an "AI summary" at the top of the search results (unless you turn it off, yes I know), it displays the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article, with link, whenever it finds one that's relevant.

also a waaayyyyy better sense of design than duckduckgo

also private, European based, least annoying search I've used lately (RIP old "don't be evil" Google)

[yomikoreadsbooks]

Keeping a list of Google alternatives just in case…

[saxifraga-x-urbium]

i have one of those, scraped from multiple different rec posts:

Search Engines

Infinity Search is an alternative search engine with a special focus on privacy

DuckDuckGo is a popular search engine for those who value their privacy and are put off by the thought of their every query being tracked and logged. Uses bangs, ![site] for in-page search (sells your data to microsoft and draws from fucking bing)

WolframAlpha is a privately owned search engine that allows you to “compute expert-level answers using Wolfram’s breakthrough algorithms, knowledgebase, and AI technology.” A data search engine.

Boardreader is a search engine for forums and message boards. It allows you to search forums and then filter down results by date and language.

Based in France, Qwant is a privacy-based search engine that won’t record your searches or use your personal details for advertising. Uses “&” as a bang search.

Another privacy-based search engine is Search Encrypt, which uses local encryption to ensure that users’ identifiable information cannot be tracked. Metasearch across multiple engines. 

Offering unbiased results from several sources, SearX is a metasearch engine that aims to present a free, decentralized view of the internet. Can be self-hosted. 

Gibiru’s tagline is “Unfiltered private search” and that’s exactly what it offers. Requires AnonymoX Firefox add-on for privacy. 

Disconnect allows you to conduct anonymous searches through a search engine of your choice.

Swisscows provides fully encrypted searches to protect your privacy and security. Built-in violence/porn filter cannot be overridden. 

MetaGer offers “Privacy Protected Search & Find” through its anonymised search. A plugin will allow it to be made a default.

Gigablast is a private search engine that indexes millions of websites and servers real-time information without tracking your data, keeping you hidden from marketers and spammers. Variety of filtration and refinement options for searching. 

Oscobo is a search engine that protects your privacy while you search the web. By not using any third-party tools or scripts, your data is protected from hacking and misuse. Has a Chrome extension to allow use in toolbar. 

https://search.marginalia.nu/ an independent DIY search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and attempts to show you sites you perhaps weren't aware of in favor of the sort of sites you probably already knew existed. Use old-school searching rather than query-based for the best results. 

https://www.mojeek.com/ 

https://wiby.me/ - It’s goal is to index as many personalized websites as possible, and NOT commercial sites. 

https://4get.ca/ it works a lot like SearX, but honestly better. It doesn’t have its own index, but pulls from many others. I think it’s the best for research, since it allows you to search for answers from different indexes, is easy to configure, add free, and avoids censorship as much as it can.

https://www.searchenginemap.com/ for more on how search engines relate to each other.

https://yep.com/ is a crawler
