This stirs up some trauma
Maybe this is going to be the year of the Linux desktop after all
It’s unfortunate that they’re using religion as the basis for the new constitution, it would be much better to have full separation of the state from any religion. Despite that, it seems like a pretty big step in a positive direction for Syria
Glad you like it!
I’m in the same boat. Paying for search put me off at first, in big part due to having to login to use it. But now that I’ve tried, it’s a lot easier to use than expected. For example, you can get a session link to use for incognito searches, or an even more private option with anonymous tokens that let you use it without the searches being linked to your account at all.
The more I think about it, the more sense it makes. If a search engine is free, its goals won’t be aligned with my interests as a user and we get stuff like sponsored search results.
Be the change you want to see in the world! ☺️
They seem to do quite a bit of indexing themselves. A good alternative that’s from Europe would be Qwant, but they don’t have a feature for searching the fediverse. It would be nice if it got added to fedi-search :)
Qwant and Ecosia are building a search index, but I don’t think there is anything that can really compete with Google and Bing at the moment: https://betterweb.qwant.com/en/2024/11/08/ecosia-and-qwant-join-forces-to-develop-european-search-index/
