I'm glad @Waterfox@mastodon.social Private Search has tweaked their UI to show more results, this makes it much more worthwhile and useful! Now if they could just stop emailing me a code when I have to log in (which seems very frequent). At least give me the option to use TOTP instead! #waterfox #WaterfoxPrivateSearch #search #totp #security #authentication

One weird consequence of recent internet history: AI summaries often get around the problem of search engines returning masses of low-effort, low-quality, firewalled, or clickbait websites instead of actual information by giving users (possibly/probably accurate) information about many topics without what has become a familiar runaround. Try searching (regardless of the search engine) for information about a specific topic: in many cases, you can't find any information about it from the first page or two of search results, and you're likely to need to click through to a few pages before you find one that isn't content farmed, requiring an account, locked down, or low-quality/questionable shit made by an even dumber AI model than the one generating the search summary. Maybe this is one of those ubiquitous situations where many years of refusing to fix one set of problems left the field wide open for a worse set. #genAI #ai #search #internet

Looks like Flatpak discovery will move from one mostly generally accepted hub to a gazillion of repos since the performative LLM complaints have befallen the possible single hub. (Partially half-understandable arguments, partially performative fluff for my taste) Which is ok as it triggers competition that might lead to better outcomes. (bazaar vs cathedral and all, rite? 😏 ) And removes a possible single point of failure. Now what I'd like to see is an approach that does discovery of those repos and enables search across those repos without a single point of failure. As e.g. a single, centrally hosted index for repos to register to would be. Flatpak already uses a reverse-dns-namespace structure internally. Anything that would leverage that? Wouldn't help with enumeration though. Something something DHT/Gossip/...? (as the cool thing from the past) Clearly a problem that will arise with more of the expectable decentralized systems that need uniform discovery and search. What's the Fedis wisdom on current academic approaches that might be interesting around this? Or bastardized routing tech, yet another idea on how to twist DNS into a pretzel, etc? Dare I say: Blockchain (as the unpopular thing before the LLMs 🤣 ) Throw you best Arxiv posts etc. at me. I'm just curious about the state-of-the-art techn for now, all smirk and sarcasm aside. #discovery #search #decentralized #routing #dns #fedimeta #flathub #dht #cooltechfromthepast #llm #selfhosting #fossdrama #spof #singlepointoffailure

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

I'm sorry to hear about the death of Roger Summit (at age 95), the brains behind #Dialog, the pioneering pre-web search engine and library of searchable academic databases. https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/17/technology/roger-summit-dead.html PS: Dialog was not free and not even close. But my college got two years of free connect time in 1990-91 on the condition that we keep logs and help the company learn what teachers and students wanted. I published my log in the American Philosophical Association Newsletter on Teaching Philosophy, Spring 1994. https://dash.harvard.edu/entities/publication/73120378-8894-6bd4-e053-0100007fdf3b #Philosophy #Search
