The day a corporation can enforce a scholastic learning agenda, or curriculum, is the day we should burn that corporation to the ground. Families, kids, teachers and money for supplies, no propaganda in the schoolhouse, except to teach the kids to recognize it and avoid it.
The policy change is “If schools don’t allow google slop, they can’t use google search.”
Hopefully it just means that schools use duckduckgo and avoid google search, too. Blocking google (the world’s largest advertising corporation) should be the default policy of all schools, especially public schools.
What a paper tiger of a threat. Like its hard to switch to duck duck go?
Is it possible for a photo to be taken of him that doesn’t look cool as fuck?
Lol, my thought exactly was “damn, that’s a badass photo, for a badass motherfucker”
yes, sometimes he just looks silly and nonthreatening. still not a bad look.
are those lenses slightly red? is he going to fight big-guy Robert moses, the Russian mob, and drug smuggling ninjas?
I’m not making fun of him. I just want to know if I should be watching.
Kids in New York are gonna grow up using DuckDuckGo!
Why did they have to use this sick ass photo of him for the story?
Google search sucks ass anyway. Better to wean children off of Google sooner rather than later.
My phone reset the default search to Google and it was ridiculous. First page was all AI garbage sites and aggregators. I switched back to Bing, slightly less bad, and found my results on the first page. Gotta get DDG on the default list.
Should have started sooner, a lot of people seem to still think it is the only choice.
He looks so badass in that thumbnail
I thought based on the thumbnail that this was about Daredevil.
I think he looks like an extra from the matrix who looked too nice to make the final cut. But I know he is badass, and that’s the point :)
He’s the one in this 2026 version of the matrix
Because he is
Anyone have recommendations for search nowadays? Ddg is pretty meh lately.
I’ve been using startpage lately, but I find it meh… although to be honest I don’t know if that is so much their fault as it is how SEO has ruined the web
what I can say is that whenever I search a topic, the first half dozen results I click on are just AI generated bullshit all with the exact same web page layout. and that’s just the ones I click on, not the ones that I scroll past that I can tell are the exact same shit
I don’t know exactly why all the search results nowadays are websites that were clearly AI generated under the same template and have a whole novella about how it’s important to use the correct torque for your oil drain plug, but like dude I just want to know what the torque spec is for my car because it’s not in the manual
You can use MetaGer, Ecosia, Startpage, Mojeek, Qwant, specific page searches… or all of these. if you want a deeper research. After more than a quarter of century I’ve anyway half the internet in my bookmarks and only use the websearch in few occasions, or for security checks of unknown URLs.
not to discourage you, but half of those are powered by google indexing.

It works great!
ICE will come for him
Thought you were making a statement about ICE going after him because they’re a bunch of trigger happy mouthbreathers, but it looks like you just spam that everywhere.
I do have that user tagged as “zionist scumbag” for context.
ICE will CUM for him

google isn’t a monopoly, it is just very popular in zombietopia
….you know another search engine, or ad network? Like, idk, Google is pretty monopolistic
Or browser for that matter.
You are clearly just trolling, and running multiple accounts to upvote yourself with.
no. the core of like every browser is google now.
Okie doki
You believe google is the only search engine… seriously?
you couldn’t name one. doesn’t natter if they exist.
no one is claiming that.
“monopolies” aren’t only about the number of products in a market. they’re also about ~market share~ of a single company and ~anti-competitive business practices~.
That isn’t what a monopoly is, ‘mono’ is a hint.
They are far and away the leader. Of course I know there are other engines, you fool, and other browsers and other ad companies, but to claim they aren’t a monopoly? I guess you believe Amazon isn’t either because like other places have delivery! Come on….
Don’t feed the troll
At least lemmy is big enough for trolls. :3
It isn’t even a complicated word.
Apparently you don’t appreciate the nuances around it, so here you go: https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/monopoly
Okie. :)
