Well, yeah. It's pretty much the same as SearXNG. Except paid, closed source and needs an account to function. The results are better though, I'll give you that.

...and the pricing is absurd. I'd like to disable all the AI bullshit and get a discount.

If it was self hostable, I'd always recommend it over SearXNG. Let's say that it's a better but closed source and paid SearXNG alternative.

but federated and open source

90% of people who joined Lemmy (or the fediverse in general) are tech savvy enough to wrap their head around the concept of federation.

Some devs sure do fear linux users.

We are mostly called "lemmings" here.

Is that frieren

Please do ban X in EU. The people need to switch to better alternatives like Mastodon.

Proprietary garbage

My mom posted something similar to this, about not giving consent to Facebook to sell her data while using Facebook for free. Seems like her friends did this and recommended it to her as well.

Oh the irony.

Oh, please don't start using that symbol for the fediverse.

What part of do you not get???
