if OP doesn’t keep their honey in a bucket in the basement they should be fine
First time on the internet huh? Pretty good odds OP is right now trying to figure out where to store that 5-gallon bucket of honey he just purchased, and that basement is looking mighty tempting.
In terms of result quality? In my opinion, based on my particular search habits:
Kagi > SearXNG > Brave > Startpage/Google > DDG/Ecosia/Bing
Everyone is going to have their own opinions on each of those companies, but from a results lens, that’s what I find to be most/least effective.
Like all Google products, they will still make a halfhearted attempt to make it as useful as they can before absolutely destroying it with ads
Guessing Edge by default sent you to Bing, no surprise the DDG results look similar, given that they use Bing under he hood. They shuffle rankings slightly, but it’s the same index.
You can also use Ecosia, if your prefer a different shade of lipstick on your pig search results.
There’s not really a strong player in the open source search space.
Mwmbl exists, but per their own readme:
The quality is a long way’s off from matching the commercial engines at the moment
Kagi provides the source code for many of their services, but is not truly open source, especially because at its core, it relies on applying its own rankings to other’s indexes.
That said, search is a space where the old adage rings true:
If you’re not paying for it; you are the product!
For what it’s worth, I find value in my Kagi subscription.
Her* salary.
You guys know you don’t have to follow businesses on social media, right‽ Like, it’s all just different flavors of their own advertisements, and you can just not interact.
harmlessdomain.com is available - I expect to see it registered by tomorrow or I’m never trusting a stranger on the internet ever again!
You’re hired!
The roles I’ve hired for require formal presentation of work/studies with a certain level of attention to detail, and more internal politics than I care to admit.
So while its never the sole deciding factor in a resume I do put weight on spelling, formatting, and general professionalism. If your email is firekitten22@aol.com, or jon@sirfapsalot.net I’m not immediately binning it, but you are starting from a disadvantage. stephanie@harmlessdomain.com is always gonna be just fine though.
The article ends with:
Either way, Drizly is gone, but Uber seems to intend to continue delivering alcohol to its customers.
Which makes this feel more like consolidation than a shut down
Ahh yes, consolidation and centralization, core pillars of the FOSS movement.
