    @Rhube @eliasulrich Developing your own crawler can be time consuming and expensive. Bing which (ddg and many others use) is far worse.

    Using Google to pull data and then using logic to sort through it isn’t in itself a problem. Heck most SearXng instances I run into still use a Google crawler.

    Using an LLM to parse through tons of data can be effective. It’s all about how it’s trained. Websites can be all over the place. Trying to manually code to account for it all will leave huge gaps imo

    Overall I’ve been impressed with much of its search results. Plus the code is open source.

    @64bithero @eliasulrich Yes it really fucking is a problem. It uses planet-destroying theft machines. It is the precise problem this thread is trying to address. You have completely misunderstood the aim due to your own apparent lack of ethics. Please go talk to some other hacks who are happy destroying the world.

    @Rhube @64bithero @eliasulrich I'm sorry, but I though the Fediverse was a place where people act more mature than the average Reddit poster. Here's a different opinion than yours. That's fine. Have a heated discussion. Lashing out ain't going to change anyone's mind and likely will have to opposite effect of what you want.
    The exception to what I'm saying is of course fascism. Can't be tolerant to the intolerant.

    @Drew @Rhube @64bithero @eliasulrich , on the thread for being informed...
    instead/on top of it I'm being entertained - maybe dr ro is a bit on the edge, but understandably so...
    if a mass murderer gives me a bunch of flowers I'll have no mixed feelings.
    After all this I'll give it a test run,
    am suddenly less happy with ddg where I automagically omitted the capitalism oriented search results.
