It is clear that the signal to noise ratio of the WWW is getting worse. It's much harder to find good content when using a good old search engine. And if it's good it is usually hosted on Reddit or Stackexchange.

So remember, even if it's easy too Google something (well, it isn't nowadays), we want to create a fediverse of good content that helps people (I hope). So, it's always better to write a real answer if you have the time and energy. Please help boost the SNR and reverse the AI fueled information degradation loop.

Did you notice that there was a different parameter in the udm14.org version? https://tedium.co/2024/05/17/google-web-search-make-default/

I noticed that my test search term was fully tracked by Google because it's still regular Google. Use https://startpage.com/ if you want de-shittified Google.
