TIL: On DuckDuckGo, you can block specific sites from appearing in search results. Click on the three-dot drop-down menu on the right-hand side of the search result. (Shells KB is an AI-generated slop tutorial site btw. You should block it.) #DuckDuckGo #DDG #search #noai

Today in Labor History July 1, 1915: American bluesman, Willie Dixon, was born. He was one of the most influential blues songwriters and performers of the post-World War II era. Some of his most well-known (and most covered) songs include: My Babe, Spoonful, Hoochie Coochie Man, Little Red Rooster, I Just Want To Make Love To You, Wang Dang Doodle, Pretty Thing, I Ain’t Superstitious, The Seventh Son, You Shook Me, Back Door Man and You Can’t Judge a Book By Looking At Its Cover. His music was an important link between blues and rock and roll. Sadly, many rock and rollers stole his music and made more money from the songs than he ever did. However, in 1987, he did reach an out-of-court settlement with Led Zeppelin, the band that probably gained the most from plagiarizing his music. A really great book on the link between American blues and jazz and the evolution of rock and roll is Billy Bragg’s 2017 “Roots, Rockers and Radicals: How Skiffle Changed the World.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFqwQ6xPjF0#ddg-play #workingclass #LaborHistory #blues #williedixon

I HATE how I can't find good images anymore online. Every image search turns up to be at least 20% slop, IF NOT MORE. Google - slop, duckduckgo - slop I can report as slop but it doesn't disappear, Vivaldi - slop I can't report or block in any way even though it is anti AI search engine. I can't use stock photo sites without AI, pinterest is AI riddled as well - where the ABSOLUTE FUCK can I find 100% human photography? #FuckAI #NoAI #Photography #landscape #ArtReferences #vivaldi #DDG #Google

A bit wild to say but @kagihq@mastodon.social has provided significantly better search results then Google or DDG. I may be a believer now. #kagi #google #ddg #searchengine #web
