Casual Conversation

3899 readers
15 users here now

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

@casualconversation when one needs to launch a search on the internet, the most common tool they have at hand is google. I do the same too.

However, l've begun to find it shallow and restrictive.

Better suggestions anyone ??πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ƒ

I've been using Kagi for over a year now.
I can't go back to ad funded search.

Also the phrasing you used in your question was surprisingly poetic with all the Os.

Seconding Kagi. It makes searching feel as it did before bloat became the norm.

Thirding Kagi. Their research assistant is pretty good too, if you don't recoil from AI like a vampire to sunlight.
