Stop using Google. Kagi lets you block and prioritize sites.
I have used Kagi, it's not a suitable replacement. It still struggles with relevance even compared to the garbage that is current-day Google, and is particularly bad at finding recent (less than a month or two old) information.

It's kinda exciting. The social media status quo has its upsides but a lot of downsides. I'm hopeful that the change will be good. We'll have to figure out a way to authenticate the people we're talking to, which will encourage tighter-knit communities.
This will end with the only way to authenticate the people we're talking to is meeting them at the coffeeshop in the morning.
It's becoming much harder to determine on a daily basis what content is original, thought-out by a person, and trustworthy. Ironically, verifiably-old content is easier to trust now. Examples from recent personal experience: 1) Some time ago I was searching for growing information about a specific and uncommonly-grown plant, and was led to a top-ranked website with long pages containing everything about it, including…
You're making the classic mistake of looking for a trustworthy information source and then trusting it, instead of focusing on whether the information itself is trustworthy regardless of source.

I don’t see how the author isn’t embarrassed. Maybe it’s just me having imposter syndrome or maybe I can self reflect, maybe. If he used AI to slop all those articles up doesn’t he know any developer can use AI to get that content through the IDE? He’s trying to game something with a tool that effectively killed off that game in the first place.
I’m a south asian guy so I’ll just say it. I’m not surprised anymore when a lot of scammy/scummy behavior turns out to be done by a south asian. In sf too most of the scammers and scummy founders are south asian. It’s gross and honestly as a south asian doing something legit it sucks to see them just fulfilling a stereotype. These assholes are the same types responsible for why those societies are fucked up, being in…
What particularly bugs me about this, is the made up white man to paint as the slop author.
