This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I do not support just calling that wiki "wiki" without including a crucial part of it.

You mean the engine owned by the guy who refuses to abide to the GDPR, thinks anti-suicide messages would be bias, wants to use AI to "remove bias from news articles" (and from reviews)? https://d-shoot.net/kagi.html goes into it, it's a whole mess.

Right now all search engines suck, unfortunately.

What is this discussion? Did y'all not grasp what was going on with that first Bing talk? I was just trying to stop you guys and gals using that symbol willy nilly; nobody's actually apologizing for Bing

I honestly don't know anymore dude. People are getting super down vote happy, and I don't know why. In another thread, I said that you shouldn't encourage people to have eating disorders, and it got downvoted, so I don't know.
