when people say searx, i want to know… is it duckduckgo or google or both?

looks cool. but it uses wolfram… https://www.wolfram.com/legal/privacy/wolfram and also collects analytics by default.
regardless of what a privacy policy says… it’s too tempting for AI companies not to use user input in non-direct ways. i wouldn’t trust any AI company and probably not even the host.

i’m thinking the mozilla version will be better maintained and have stuff added to it, in the future

buildings are designed to be closed. its a horrible design thats irreversibly invested upon.

speaking of the world…

paris,france has seemed to have been affected by bedbugs recently: BBC: Bedbug panic sweeps Paris as infestations soar before 2024 Olympics

it could raise rent prices if you live in an attractive city. college educate people may use the available data to inform the confidence of their relocation decisions. also realestate speculators, but mostly there are better sources.

how is nobody afraid of bedbugs?

environmentalists might not like it for obvious reasons.

people refuse to boycott anything, for any amount of time. thats what leads to getting to be so expensive.
in reality, it would be ideal if everyone was willling to boycott anything (maybe everything ) for any amount of time ( possibly up to a max of infinity )

Google is corrupt

Windows problems

It would be dfficult to keep all kinds of random things in an affordable database.

I’m more concerned about the meaning of life. Which, conveniently is 42.

I hear people frequently say this.

Searx is basically a proxy. If you had an actual proxy… you would achieve the exact same benefits. Its good for making it difficult… or extremely difficult to tie a person’s real identity, directly to their search query.
Another thing that searx does is sends your query to google. This is not good for privacy. But sometimes it gives you additional results.

I dont think paying money is the answer. But it may make sense for some people in some cases.
For example: for someone who uses gmail… switching to protonmail is a huge leap. And donating money(or buying service) is a way to ensure that it remains sustainable and continues to grow.

Essentially, It really isnt that hard.
But
A) there is no unified project for the masses.
B) it is very hard to create a universal search engine that gives you needed info for something extremely unexpected like “reggae feline flames scanner” .

Too late.
