What started as a joke (the famous "It's not AI" video with @jon), is starting to feel dystopian at this point.
Anyway. Swimming against the current is exhausting, but the fight for a better web is more important than ever. And as long as there’s people willing to take the fight, there’s hope.
So we'll keep resisting: no opt-in, no opt-out, no nonsense. 
@Vivaldi It's one thing to fight this on the web, but it's another battle entirely when it starts polluting native search APIs. The App Store is already a mess; I don't need this fight on my own turf too.

@ramblingsteve @Vivaldi @jon This please!

we have been at a point where making a chromium based thing is actively harmful for some time. And I'm not attacking you (I actually like Vivaldi, it's the only chromium based thing I recommend to people who can't get used to Firefox or any of its forks), just pointing out the current situation is shit.

A decentrilsed search engine. No AI, no tracking. No advertising. No javascript of any kind. Never pay for it. Anyone can setup their own "branch" and contribute. Why does this sound so much like the #Fediverse? I could use some help with the system I've building for over a year and with corporations selling us out, we can band together to take the internet back.
This is what the internet was BEFORE the corprite take over.
This is #TidySearch https://search.mpaq.org -
Try Startpage or Mojeek.

That essentially search results from Google search will be replaced by an AI "conversation".
It's as dumb as it sounds.

@frobisher @Vivaldi @jon Unless I've missed something awful about Startpage (entirely possible as we approach Peak Enshittification so quickly) they seem ok

@FrutigerAero00 @Vivaldi @jon I switch over to Duck Duck Go when Qwant tries to tell me that the rest of the search results aren't relevant.
