Shoutout to https://uruky.com/

It's a paid private search engine.

Trying them out right now, so far so good!

gotta go where the people are

Go to https://ecosia.org/ in a private browser window. It says “AI that answers to the planet”. Search something and the AI Overview on top is enabled by default.

For what it's worth i've been using them for like a year and I clear my cookies often and never got this AI overview thingy you're talking about. I actually have no clue how it even looks like.

I was thinking the same thing recently. It's not the place it once was. But in general the internet has changed a lot. And it's not just AI.

1. All sorts of paywalls especially in news sites.
2. Everything is getting centralized into a few sites and they're usually eithe poorly indexable or not at all (Discord, facebook, X, Instagram and so on)
3. Fediverse (Lemmy, Mastodon) also struggles with search engines.
4. People trying to sell you shit, create a brand even more than before. Because of this all sorts of SEO optimization crap is done like writing BS articles nobody cares about.
5. AI slop.
6. Search engines have gotten better of getting rid of "illegal stuff".
7. A lot of sites are just presentational bloat with no substance. Very cool looking landing pages with all sorts of cool animations but when you need to actually find the information that you need... the same UI usually gets in the way.

Oh and now we're getting into age verification crap also yay

Thanks for sharing. This might be the push I needed to give them a try. They do seem to be using Google indirectly:

Serper: Based in the UK (Europe but not EU) and using anonymized Google results, we skipped adding them for a while, but the reality is that a decent percentage of customers wanted a result experience similar to “old” Google (before all the AI stuff) and DuckDuckGo.

So I would imagine search quality should be good enough.

That's why it's titled "It's a ticking time bomb for enterprise" not necessarily for AI companies.

A decent article about enterprise depending on AI subscriptions and a discussion on hackernews.

It can be read. But you also have to physically tap the security key to do anything. If they don't get access to your security key the PIN alone is useless.

It's a security key meant to replace passwords with passkeys, but it does some other things as well.

The main thing which makes them secure is no one can export, read, copy the keys that are inside it, even if the PC is infected.

I also store a GPG key to encrypt / decrypt some sensitive stuff and a SSH key.

You can also use them as OTP replacement instead of using apps like google authenticator, aegis or whatever your choice is. It also makes it more secure. Though I don't think I will be doing that.

Main thing I bought it was for GPG and to secure my password manager. The good thing is because you have a security key your PIN can be significantly shorter than a password managers password and you don't sacrifice security. Nitrokey, for example, allows 8 tries to enter the FIDO2 (passkey) PIN. After 8 incorrect attempts it will block it and you will need to do a reset. Also people have to physically have your security key to even enter the PIN. So I simply have a 6 digit PIN code.

It doesn't come with a fingerprint scanner. Just have to tap to confirm the log in. Obviously , you set a PIN as well.

Not gonna lie I have no clue why they charge +500 eur for a re-branded Google Pixel. Just cuz they installed GrapheneOS?
