A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I live in a country which uses a language I don't speak but Google defaults to regional results in spite of my language being set to English. All other engines give me really poor results (not that Google was giving good ones, the image search has really gone to shit since they started populating it with AI stuff).

I've been exclusively using DuckDuckGo until recent controversies, then switched to Metager. It is a privacy-oriented, opensource metasearch engine and they aren't relying on bing/google search results like almost every other search engine.

Results are really good and consistently relevant. But it has some minor annoyances, and recently metager started locking more and more features behind a paywall. I'll keep using it if I won't find better alternative.
