being a post-millennial is not an excuse for not being able to use google

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 5 points 1 day ago

They use AI, which feeds them some bullshit story instead.

Methinks she was pretending to not (know how to) know for the bants

Or rather didn't particularly care, but found more fun in imagining more fantastical scenarios to entertain herself.

quite possibly, not very well versed in the social media arts

Google sucks.

I've been using DuckDuckGo for a decade.

Here we go with this normie shit again.

Use Startpage.

DuckDuckGo is basically just Bing with a bit more privacy and Bing search results suck too.

[–] msage@programming.dev 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Dunno, ddg delivers what I need.

What do you use search engines for?

[–] wischi@programming.dev 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If it does was you need it to do you should definitely use it, privacy vise it's obviously way better than google. Haven't tried in in about 2 years, maybe the search results got better but the last time I tried it often presented me weird sites that technically contained the words I searched for but were completely irrelevant - entered the same question onto Google and immediately got me a stack overflow question that was practically the same question I had but phrased a bit differently. But as I said, maybe it's no longer so bad as when I tried it.

For a long time I used DuckDuckGo for everything except specific error messages, because Google was better at those, but Google got more shitty and so did stack overflow, so I don't bother much with Google anymore.
