    That’s a weird thing to do, but I’m here for it. I mostly ask it real technical questions about my game code to see if it can solve it, or find me a source that has already solved it. I usually Google it first tho. But every search engine has made their searches worse, so I don’t usually find what I want. Even just a year or two ago searches would pop up forum posts with the solutions to my issue someone else already asked and had answered. Now it’s like digging through a hay stack for a needle.

      Try Kagi if you can afford a paid search engine. You can even specifically search the fediverse.

      I’ve been using noai.duckduckgo.com for a while and it’s still useful. The problem isn’t just the search engines it’s the SEO that shit sites abuse to get to the top of searches.
