Their newest app to connect to virtual desktops (that I’m aware of) is named Windows App. Searching for info on that fucking thing was a pain in the ass.
They’re different things. The comment you’re replying to is talking about different search engines. SearxNG is a metasearch engine - it combines results from multiple different search engines together.
Both are important. If you use SearXNG but only enable Google, it’s essentially just a proxy for Google and you miss out on most of the value of it. Some of the other search engines may have better results for some searches than Google does.
Any recommendations on how to get started with that? I’ve been using it but without digging through a frankly intimidating list of configuration options, I’m not feeling like it’s really adding much value yet
Get off Google. There are alternatives, Qwant, Startpage, whatever floats your boat. I swapped to Kagi and honestly haven’t looked back.
Haha that just sounds like a list of gibberish words! I love tech naming when it doesn’t include Copilot or a lowercase i :p
Yeah, don’t ask tech people to name things. Microsoft has like 500 different things called “Razor.”

I don’t remember, was it Microsoft or just the journalists saying

Now imagine naming a social media platform after a letter of the alphabet 🙃
Or your company after the whole alphabet.

I’ve started using SearXNG. Are these better?

No, SearXNG is great
Thanks
Mojeek too.
Honestly I just use ChatGPT for all my questions now
I use ChatGPT to help me figure out my prompts for DeepSeek.
That’s certainly a choice
Zero Google AI in chat gpt, mission accomplished I guess?
He wants to help development of “open” “ai”
Hopefully not for anything that requires an accurate result…
If you ask it to find a source website rather then an explicit answer i don’t see why not.
The internet is full of lies to begin with, i wouldn’t trust the snippets on the google search page either.
Carbon footprint - AI burns a lot more power than old fashioned search results.
I get wanting to cost them more, but I don’t think they’ll see this use case as a cost.
