Though Benioff's shift mirrors Silicon Valley's broader accommodation of Trump, the exchange offered a rare glimpse of just how far that repositioning can go. The question now: will other Bay Area tech CEOs follow Benioff's lead and call for federal troops in their own backyard?
For future reference, I self-host an instance of SearXNG to get away from Google. It feels much like search used to be (and searching for “wealthy brain damage” this was like the fifth result). There are public instances as well. It’s extremely useful and I hope people utilize it as their default search engine to get away from Google. https://searx.space/
I don’t use Google products anymore other than Maps (and only when I can’t find what I need using OSM or Magic Earth). I used DuckDuckGo which has gotten really bad.
I’m aware of SearX and self-hosting but it just seems like a giant pain to set up. I can do it (…and I probably will at some point) but I just get exhausted doing technology the hard way.
I’ve degoogled my phone, run linux on both laptop and desktop, set up a Pi-hole, and none of that stuff was intuitive or easy to set up and maintain.
I’m aware it’s a skill issue but like, I’m just tired man
I absolutely get that. Truly. It’s a lot. You don’t have to self host SearXNG though. You can use one of the public instances. Self hosting just adds a couple of perks is all. I’m glad you’ve de-Googled! It’s not an easy task.
