A pessimist sees a dark tunnel.
An optimist sees light at the end of the tunnel.
A realist sees a freight train.
The train driver sees three idiots standing on the track.

You need to go to Settings - Search. Then at the bottom you have "search shortcuts", there you can click "Add" to add a new one. Name it "NoAI DDG" or whatever and paste

https://noai.duckduckgo.com/%s

In the URL field. (Right-click copy that since Mastodon sometimes hides the https part) Then you can go to the top where it says "Default search engine" and select the new one you just created.

It's a bit different in the mobile version but similar enough.

TIL: The earliest use of the word "terrorism" identified by the Oxford English Dictionary is a 1795 reference to tyrannical state behavior, the "reign of terrorism" in France."

The term was coined to describe the actions of the state during the French Revolution's Reign of Terror, where agents of the Committee of Public Safety, referred to as "Terrorists," enforced the government's policies with violence against perceived enemies.

Things left on the moon

Stereoscopy (1898) covered with miniature objects that represent the items left behind on the #moon during spaceflight missions: in addition to space probes, lunar vehicles, and other technical equipment, these include a bible, used diapers, soap, tools, golf balls, and cameras. To date, 190 t of material have been left behind during the missions (#NASA)

Realized during an AiS at #ESA.
