  • as you probably know, most of Europe is turning to shit right now,

    What isn’t turning to shit? Outside of China, everyone is having a bad time. Asia is the canary in the coalmine for a population crisis (while still resisting immigration), Canada and Australia have a housing crisis, there’s a general, global economic slowdown.

    Relatively speaking, EU aint too bad. And that’s mostly because Trump was so comically bad it made most of the continent do a double take on the whole far right thing (it’s a shame some countries still chose to slip, but it slowed it down).

    I do see a light. But I also think we’re in the eye of the storm. It’ll get much much worse, then hopefully better if we make it through that.

    if you can afford a paid option, I’ve heard good things about Kagi. It basically uses several backends (including google) but cuts out the ad junk. And it reportedly tends to give you better results, or at least less sponsored crap.

    It’s something I wanted to try out more once I can get a dang job.


  • Google had a special deal to scrape Reddit’s data right? That might carve out some special exceptions.

    BTW, hello. I tried the fediverse out around 2022 through kbin (which seems to be dead?) then drifted off. Haven’t had a reddit account since 2023 (and my mains were deleted around 2020), but I swore I’d force myself off Reddit when old.reddit. I guess that time is now.
