And nothing of value was lost.
It works wonderfully well as a search engine, when I have to find obscure specialized info. Can always criss check once I have a idea.
Regular search engines did that 20 years ago, without blowing out the power grid.
Yeah then people.learned how to game it and its shit now. Pointing how something worked 20 years ago does shit all for how it works now
Ah, but you see, they don't do it now.
And now we have something better. I'm all for a better grid running on renewables though, which is the actual problem.
Because companies destroyed actual search engines in the race for billions of dollars.
Kagi, searx are fricken awesome and much like the web in mid 2000s before corporations destroyed it.
