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 personally like duck duck go, the results are generally pretty good, and if they aren't, it's easy to search on other engines using DDG's bangs. You just type "!g search term" and you can search on Google, and there's a bunch more, like !w for Wikipedia, !aur for the arch user repo etc etc
+1 for DDG
And thank you for reminding about bangs
How did I not know about that already? I've been on DDG for a years.
There are a lot of bangs as well.
Try
!loblaws maple syrupas I see you're from Canada.O damn! That's bound to come in handy.
And to see if there is a bang already for a website you use often, use
!bang lemmyor whatever to see the list of !bangs for that siteIt even has the Haskell docs lol
The only issue I have with DDG is the news tab being filled to the brim with MSN.com. I get that DDG uses Bing search but it's still annoying having to put "-site:msn.com" behind your query every so often.
