you don’t have to tell me information about why Rui’s drive is gone, I just googled it because I forgot their name (I thought it was Anadius’ drive at first)
It’s just cool to see Lemmy in any search result. It kind of reinforces that what we are doing here matters. Downside is that if an instance goes down, only a potential archive is there.
be aware that google results are personalized for you, so that really doesn’t say much about what “average user” sees…screenshot is not from google, my bad.
Well this is duck duck go, I don’t think that is personalized?
Damn, we are finally indexed??
Which is probably why the lemmy UI started getting randomly overwhelmed from AI scraping bots :S
We should invent something that rotates community IDs but only non-bots see the real IDs, flood lemmy instanced with anti-AI posts and dont federate those posts.
Like, lemmy.ml/c/linux is suddenly garbage, and actually another community.
But I guess that would create massive drawbacks in UX, requiring javascript, logins or even captchas and breaking links
It’s almost impossible to determine bots nowadays. They’re better at solving captchas than humans.
If only we did not give up on social distributed verification instead of an automatic one e_e
we’re getting there sailors
I used tor to check if it was just on my end and it was the 6th result there
Google search is complete shite nowadays. We’re just lucky nobody is advertising for those keywords.
The research is from Duck Go Go as most people have already said but I appreciate your comment offending Google. More people should do this nowadays!
eh, ddg is just bing. Only marginally better ideologically, and probably worse practically.
What do you use?
Sadly, Ddg. What else can I use?
I currently really enjoy self-hosted Perplexica (a FOSS alternative to the Perplexity AI search engine), which uses SearXNG as a meta-crawler, and Ollama for local AI integration. I’m very happy with it, but it requires a fairly powerful server (not a Raspberry Pi or another SBC, the only one that might work is the Nvidia Jetson or whatever it’s called, but I haven’t tried that yet).
What’s a good web search engine nowadays?
None. There’s no good ones. There’s at best acceptable ones
rarely any, for yandex is occasionally useful if you can stand the Russian.
I’ve had an easy time finding pirated stuff using the Brave search engine. Main downside is that its run by Brave. Not the best of people imho.
