Now it’s all AI written. Top 15 hits be like:

"Many are wondering why PC LOAD LETTER is displayed on their printer, and they would be right to ask this, because printer errors can be frustrating.

First let’s start with the basics;

What is a printer?

Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta…"

Make a habit of reading takes (from reputable / serious sources) that you think you’ll disagree with.

Even if it doesn’t change your mind, you will understand other people’s POV. This is very important for understanding your own stance better and finding flaws and uncertainties in it.

It also tends to humanise “the other side” (whoever that is for you), which makes it easier to have a constructive argument rather than meaningless fights.

This is why I use SearXNG; locally hosted on a container. It collates and sorts out the crap from all the engines at once. I get a useful list of results normally. My personal instance is configured to shotgun several engines at once and uses Wolfram Alpha or Wikipedia for informational boxes over other engines; if those services present a result.

My experience:

  • Infobox (if applicable), Source is reliable; usually Wolfram Alpha or Wikipedia. May not always be immediately relevant but it’s usually a close enough match.
  • Most relevant results (3 to 7 of them)
  • Relevant results containing any terms (Many)
  • Less relevant results (Usually on page 2 or 3 by this time)
  • Nonsensical results; may be slightly relevant (Usually you’re 7 to 10 pages deep by then)

Because the font was so similar with “Ad” I was instinctively rolling my eyes and scrolling past your comment before I realized it was a comment LOL.

Effective!
