Block google, use duckduckgo.
Even better, the computer science and/or IT portions of school should have students learn how to set up, configure, and maintain their own instances of SearXNG that the school could use locally on their intranet.
Education, exposing kids to open source alternatives, and the school gets their own, and better, search aggregator that strips AI and ads. Sounds like a win-win-win to me.


I just finished setting up my matrix homeserver and got my friends to use Sable. So. Yeah, fuck discord and their AI “age estimation,” their promises of “we don’t store ids” before leaking tens of thousands of them, and their “our trusted partners are the best” and it’s literally Palantir in a trench coat.
Fuck all of that. AND they’re enshittifying with all the quests and ads. Discord has some real problems but violating everyone’s privacy is not the solution. Hire more people, actually investigate, and listen to the community. Don’t be a Roblox.
