I’ve been using DDG as my default for probably longer than I ever used Google, so I’ll share my thoughts on it

What I like:

• Nice UI with plenty of options
• Optional AI features
• Great image search with tons of filters and an AI slop blocker that works reasonably well

What I don’t like:

• Localized results are not good (Startpage might be better for those)
• No LLM search API, so I use Brave API for that

They’ve had controversies in the past, but I’ve not heard of any in recent years tbh

This is not the fault of the boomers, this is the fault of Capitalism and the owner class

This is really great! I might start self-hosting my favorite songs tbh

I’ve tried that exact setup but Syncthing kept not detecting changes or creating conflicts… So I’m still stuck with Proton Pass :/ (it’s a good password manager, but Andy Yen is being too much of a loser)

Apple waited several years to release their take on the Galaxy Fold…. Supposedly because they wanted to get it right from the first gen. Mind you - the Duo is using a Samsung display too

LOL

You’re free to buy the hardware at the hyper-inflated prices that NVidia and their DRAM cartel friends have set, if you can afford it, which most people can’t.

Cool, let the US economy shrivel as their companies are forced to keep paying for wasteful, overpriced AI models. I’ll keep using Chinese AI with a smile on my face, especially with the next Qwen generation likely coming soon™️

tbh I think Firefox Sync is GOATED, but still, there absolutely should be a dismiss button lol

Tested this with Gemma 4 - it quickly figured out the request was a joke but then discarded that fact and proceeded to seriously answer the question lol

Men playing in women’s sports 😡
