@Demolishun Google is like a supermarket with certain products (sites) that make you feel at home. Ddg has different brands

@Demolishun for technical searches I use AI now. otherwise search returns nothing for rust for example. just the beginner books, which are often outdated or too newbie
and if it's difficult for them to find it I ask several different AIs and try to get them to give me more esoteric answers -

@donkulator you English fuckers with your words. Was trying to figure out why grass would go to a grocery store. lol

@donkulator using ddg is like paying someone to go to the bing store for you, because that's where most results come from

@donkulator if you translate a lot of japanese comments on youtube you would find they write 草 - literally translates to 'grass' but they're using it to write laughter

@Pogromist people call weed "grass". Maybe they really happy.
Much as I hate to say it, I'm finding chatgpt useful. Not for writing code. But I can recognise where my colleagues are making mistakes. I don't necessarily know what the mistake is, but I give gpt a description of what they're doing wrong and it can say what the problem is and that gives me something to Google. Searching directly for the description doesn't work too well. Also makes me wonder if search has got worse outside of specific keyword matching.
