Im so fucking glad of AI searches that fucks up all sites that have your search as a question with the answer buried deep on a carousel of ads.

Pageview culture is sick and I’m happy AI is fucking them over.

I am still getting a handle on the full power of #Mastodon #search capabilities, but the ability to combine queries and have queries that target specific data is very powerful. I thought I would share an example.

I wanted to catch up on reporting on threats to public federal research funding for universities in the last 1-2 days. This query got me what I was looking for:

“After:2025-04-01 from:\@npr\@flipboard.com fund”

Change the news site account to suit your needs, of course.

Ummm, not sure Bing knows what this word means? Bing returned zero results to the word "verisimilitude" other than a mature content warning. Google returned ... a definition. As George W. might say, "That's some weird sh**."

Not all search engines are created equal. Kagi puts you first.

Was trying a duckduckgo search for a restaurant in town, and I clicked on a link to read it, then came back to the search results. Suddenly a bunch of links disappeared and the first two links were now tripadvisor.

I selected hide site from these results and immediately a tripadvisor link from another url (different country) pops up. I kind of kept going and hiding about 15 results and new tripadvisor links kept popping up. This went on until "Search query entered was too long. Please shorten and try again."

So is this a bing-underneath thing, or direct enshittification of duckduckgo?

This is while using uBlockOrigin, but that didn't help, I didn't see any way that the ads differed from the normal links either.

dear #DuckDuckGo or other search engine: I want a little button next to every #search result that lets me exclude it from all search results for me, personally, forever. With an option to block the entire domain.

I'm definitely looking at #pinterest but there's just a lot of #AI slop out there. Tons of AI-generated websites. Even without the AI search "helper" things, I get a lot of shit that is just really low quality.

I don't think I see this witih DDG (there is a "give feedback" button with unclear effects on my personal search experience) and I'm not familiar with many other search engines now (except google and no). But if there's something out there that already has this functionality, I'll be happy to check it out and happy for the referral.

Fantastic product, and worth every penny!

Hasit occured to you that #search is not free ?
No i dont mean the ads and attention you lose on internet
I mean even in real life , although the cost if similar
everyone has limited resources . esp time.
Your best bet is to be with the resourceful and thats how majority works and #politics is just about resources
After deadline its really important to close the file, accept the answer could not be found with available resources and move on the only problem is , even that requires one to search for alternatives so the loop continues
That pretty much what the #risk is about
And thats where
> do one thing well
Philosophy of #unix shines
