Extracting information from the internet that is freely available isn’t exactly stealing content. Haven’t you ever copied something from Wikipedia? Why would Wikipedia even exist if people can’t use and share its content?

And I should care about that because? Google is sparing me from visiting a website that will harass me to accept cookies, complain about my adblocker, probably request to send notifications, etc.
My issue is mostly with image search results. DDG’s images tend to be less relevant than Google’s. DDG also lacks “smart” results (idk the official term).
For example when you search “rng 25” on Google, it will immediately present you with a random number between 1 and 25. On DDG you have to click on one of the search results and then use some website to generate the number.
Or when searching for the results of a soccer game, Google will immediately present all the stats to you, while on DDG you will only find some articles about it.
Of course it really depends on the kind of search and I’m sure DDG will regularly have better results than Google too.
With adblock enabled I feel like their results are often better than for example Duckduckgo. I recently switched to using DDG as my standard search engine but I regularly find myself using Google instead to get the results I’m looking for.
i think there are bigger things to worry about
None of my friends had Signal and I’ve only been able to convince two of them to install it. They only use it to message me. Some have WhatsApp, but most use only Instagram or Facebook Messenger, which both don’t support my .webp memes.
if you don’t use any social media then sure
by nothing I mean social media other than lemmy
yeah it’s supposedly a better format, except nothing seems to support it
sounds impressive
please elaborate what this is about?
yeah this is something I can get behind
seriously what smooth brain made this meme lol
probably because political parties are willing to pay an unsavory amount of money for these ads
I think hot dogs are good test subjects
I use OneDrive every day, there’s no ads. And nobody uses Edge anyways…
