Have mentioned before that DuckDuckGo isn't any better than the other big searches. Just got proven right: Gabriel Weinberg, founder of Duck Go Go, announces the search engine will ‘down-rank sites associated with Russian disinformation’ following the invasion of Ukraine (twitter.com)

Its almost like people just dont want to think for themselves. Like im sure youve told them all about googles problems but they simply dont care because google is the default browser and anything default cant be bad or malevolent. At this point id just swap the default browser on them and see how they react.

I use https://swisscows.com , https://qwant.com and https://yandex.com

SwissCows is my default but use Yandex for translation needs and do searches on Qwant and Yandex if my search contains swear words or something else flagged by SwissCows.

As an example of what I mean, this is what happens if you search for "boobs" on SwissCows-

 No results found for "boobs"

 Dear user,
 
 search results for the query "boobs" may contain violence and pornographie.
                         
 Since we have decided on the protection of minors, the search for this query is disabled.

 Thank you very much for your understanding!

Searches for Fuck Joe Biden used to be blocked by SwissCows, but I just checked and they're working now.

Start Page uses Google's engine.

– QanonIsaHero 2 points 4 years ago +2 / -0
  1. Leave No Trace:

Your search query is not only secure, but also anonymized. The search query runs through “premise servers” that are owned and managed by Startpage where: 1) servers are located in locked cabinets, 2) data personnel can’t log in and 3) only non-US Startpage administrators manage the servers to prevent any potential gag orders. It’s at this stage where we remove all identifying information from your search including your IP address. This means Google only ever sees Startpage, not the individual user.

  1. Leave it to Startpage & Google:

Consider Startpage your middleman. Any search query you make gets sent to a cloud server that doesn’t know you and communicates with Google. Search results are then returned to “premise servers” that are locked in cabinets, rather than going directly to your browser. This middle step better protects you by hiding you behind this privacy wall. We partner with Google because they have the industry’s best search technology compared to Yahoo or BING (which are widely used by other private search engines).

If you're willing to put in the time, learning any language is much easier these days thanks to the Internet.

I studied Spanish for 4 years, and French for 1 year in high school, and 1 year of Spanish and German in college.

As a comparison, I studied Italian online.

While I can't speak Italian very well because I haven't practiced it enough, my reading and listening comprehension is roughly on a 6th grade level. In other words, I can read a newspaper article and get the gist of it without having to use a translation service.

Just a few days ago, I translated an Italian meme I came across and posted it-

https://greatawakening.win/p/142AwGhQes/italians-are-waking-up-too-trans/c/

It wasn't perfect, but close enough. I think I missed "Di Oggi" which would have translated as Today's and guessed Annegando meant drowning from the context.

It used to be a lot better so I get why pedes stuck with it so long. Anyone who does actual digging would know better tho. Simple keyword searches for significant events used to work in Google. Then they got censored/scrubbed. Then DDG would find those results for you until those got censored/scrubbed. Now if it's not on Yandex it's gone.

I hate that word: "disinformation".

  1. the word itself makes zero literal sense
  2. to claim something is "disinformation" is to imply that you have information that is correct and true to compare it to.

They have officially declared disinformation to be anything, true or false, that doesn't support the narrative they want pushed. So by their retarded definition, verifable facts can be considered misinformation. Honk honk.

Give me a name and I'll tell you where you live.

The name Duck Duck Go isn't from a child's game.

It's also isn't a decent name for a search engine.

It's a comm or euphemism for being undercover.

Anyone remember a statement made by a U.S. Marshall after discovering the sniper "Muhammed Malvo" and his young 'spotter' just after 9/11?

"The ducks are on the pond."

It was a comm to call off the doppleganger. A method of operation.

Malcolm McClaren was a huge player of the cabal within the avante gard.

He had an album called Duck Rock and another called Duck For The Oyster.

All comm language like Beefheart's "Ice Cream for Crow" for those who know.

Because "Buffalo gals go round the outside, round the outside, round the outside" (A McClaren song reference to the underworld )

Duck and Cover

Other than that, the name Gabriel Weinberg might've been a big tell.

– 2EyesOpen 2 points 4 years ago +2 / -0

I'm surprised anyone got that reference. Yes, Marshall Mathers II replaced the term 'buffalo gals' to 'trailer park girls' because he was hipped to the meme.

Buffalo gals were camptown ladies.....doo dah......doo dah.... Prostitutes who were required to hang outside the camp ......except in the case of General Hooker who allowed them in the camp, hence the term "Hookers".

The lefties see themselves as abused prostitutes .......because they are. LOL The disenfranchised, who "go round the outside' of the walls.......or underground. In fact, this is what the name 'Castro' means. Outside the castle walls.

Buffalo Gals was a hilarious episode on Adult Swim showing the Buffalo Gals as lesbian buffalos.

Oh.....and that name............Marshall as first name (who does this?) Mathers as last......

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Liddell_MacGregor_Mathers

Each one of these names has a history and current rep.

Back in the Windows 98 and Windows 2000 days, I had a program called Copernic 2000 Pro I downloaded from some warez site (somebody here may remember FOSI) and it was fantastic.

It performed searches by checking multiple search engines and prorating the results.

All the results were stored locally and you could check out the results at your leisure.

Really miss that and haven't found anything similar for either Linux or Windows since.

This seems like a good time to point out that Duck Duck Go:

  1. Is the crappiest of the crappy search engines from the perspective of actually returning quality results pertinent to keywords used

  2. Has the worst branding of any product or service in recent memory

  3. Is no more "based" than Google or any other shit-tier shill corporation

  4. Chose a name for their search engine that is impossible to use as a verb, demonstrating a level of stupidity that immediately disqualifies them from being any sort of authority, especially on anything involving WORDS
