What’s a good search engine these days? Is there one? By “good” I mean privacy-respecting, free of AI and Google (and SEO, if possible . . . ?), and ideally with the option to block selected domains from search results. I’ve got an iPhone and a Linux laptop.

This is the era that you search for something with "Linux" in your query. And then you see tons of junk websites with cool sounding domains(and not subdomains). Then you trust #smallweb websites such as *.github.io which even haven't got a domain of their own more than the ones with TLDs.

However, the glorified search engines like #DuckDuckGo or #Google which we use value the junk websites. And for them backlinks matter very much.

So I think I want to try #selfhosting #marginalia #searchengine. I wonder how much can I crawl given my limited disk space.

But I think it's going to be a fun adventure :)

Plus I could see if it's a good choice for an #OpenScience project I have in mind to create a hub of papers.

I just finished the 1st episode of the last #BlackMirror season. It hurt my feelings. And it feels very related to our current situation.

That's what would happen if we let corporations interested in maximum profit be the sole owners of the tech, and then control us.

And they are already doing so. We don't have a #FOSS #searchengine which works as good as #Google or #DuckDuckGo. Such these examples are very common.

And #AI/#ML techs are in hand of big techs, suited for them and not for the people. Of course, they publish the papers as #openscience. But what use is that when their models are built for expensive GPUs which a small company can't afford. Let alone common people like me.

Some people believe the way to fight these is regulation. But I highly doubt it. You can always find holes in the law. That's what lawyers commonly do.

But if we work on #opensource, on #opensourceai and on #OpenCulture, we can have a FOSS and #decentralized search engine which performs as good as the current mainstream search engines. Then Google will be automatically removed.

So next time someone asks me why I am a FOSS and #decentralization advocate, and why I so persistently pursue my goal of "AI for people"(and #wakegp as part of it), I'm gonna tell them watch few Black Mirror episodes so that they may understand which path chose the world has chosen for us, unless we choose a different path ourselves.
