qwant news | Google Rival DuckDuckGo Roasts Jeff Bezos' Tall Beverly Hills Fence And Mark Zuckerberg's Multi-Million D

DuckDuckGo lampooned Amazon founder Jeff Bezos on Wednesday, pointing out the towering fence surrounding his $175 million Beverly Hills estate. The company’s tweet called the fence “the tallest residential fence in the area” and joked that it resembled a hedge fund, noting that Bezos must pay a $1,000 monthly fine for exceeding local height restrictions.

The next day the privacy‑focused search engine turned its attention to Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, highlighting his purchase of more than 11 homes in Palo Alto’s Crescent Park neighborhood for over $100 million. DuckDuckGo sarcastically dubbed the acquisitions “a privacy setting,” noting that Zuckerberg paid double or triple market value and that the influx of security cameras and private guards has altered the once‑quiet, tree‑lined community.

Both tweets underscored the irony that the two tech moguls, whose companies profit from massive data collection, are spending fortunes on personal privacy measures. Benzinga reached out to Amazon and Meta for comment, but neither responded at the time of publication.

Microsoft is actively hiding and suppressing this article from Bing search results. Try searching for "fedramp microsoft site:arstechnica.com" (without quotes!). This also impacts search engines such as DuckDuckGo.

Copilot also seems to be blocking anything related to "Microsoft" "FedRAMP" and "certification", although this could be an issue on my end with failing Cloudflare bot checks.

Dice #DuckAI, de #DuckDuckGo, que «Todos los chats son privada» [sic]. 😑

La problema es difícil, el mano es grande y la mapa es chica! Hay mucho gente. El libro es de mí. Ella es casada con él. Yo llamé por él. Ahora estoy esperando a que él me llama. Él es más alto que yo soy. Yo vivo acá desde 5 años. Conozco que él viene mañana. Soy cansado de toda la vida. Estoy embarazado, pero estoy bueno en fútbol. Yo lavo mis manos. Me duele mi cabeza. Busco por mi perro. Gracias para la ayuda.

How many versions of #duckduckgo are there?

Am I missing something?

I'm one of the lucky few discovering bangs in https://noai.duckduckgo.com/ today.

If you do "!gwiki forth", you get popped straight into the gentoo wiki page on forth. "!iep quine", and you're in the Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy page on Willard Van Orman himself.

If noai.duckduckgo.com is your default search engine in your gogo-address bar, this means to open a new tab and search directly on the page of the site that you want, cutting out all noise inbetween, you go

C-t "!site search" <RET>

(or C-l (i.e., that's L) to use current tab's URL bar)

where "site" is the shortcut of the site you want to search, and you're gone! Cool. Here's some to get started:

!archive --> Internet Archive
!ia --> WayBack Machine
!iep --> Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy
!w --> Wikipedia
!gh --> Github (RIP)
!glab --> Gitlab
!ored --> old reddit
!had --> Hackaday
!arch --> Arch Linux Wiki
!gwiki --> Gentoo Wiki
!die --> linux.die.net man pages
!fman --> FreeBSD man pages

etc etc. See https://duckduckgo.com/bang_lite.html for a list of all bangs. If you type "!" inside the actual page (like https://noai.duckduckgo.com/) and not your URL bar, you can search there. But you might not get the shortest one without visiting the page of all bangs, and generally you've to check that they actually work, some don't (the above list all does, I think).

They didn't have Codeberg so I made a proposal to add it, with "cbg" as the term. The process was smooth, and you can make your own submissions for new bangs, or update existing bangs, here https://duckduckgo.com/newbang

I will update this with the results of the submission for Codeberg to be added :)
