PLEASE keep calling it “googling it”, even if you use other search engines. If enough of us do that, then Google can lose the copyright to their name
I’ve started using “search it” or “kagi it” just to avoid using the term google. I can’t even remember the last time I used Google on purpose and got useful results.
I think maybe 1-2 people in my entire time of doing it, but now at least the people I talk to regularly in software engineering know.
I know Kagi has its drama, but I can’t get past how useful it has been to me. I did get a new home lab server recently so I may start setting up something for SearXNG.
I usually just say Bing It tbh. It’s what my computer starts with, no reason to change it, you know? I miss Internet Explorer and Edge just feels different, Internet Explorer meant Internet kinda like AOL was the Internet for America if that makes sense.
My mom started hating the Ai features. she’s trying to make “duck duck going” a thing.
It’s never gonna happen but applaud the effort lol
If I remember right, DuckDuckGo called it ‘ducking’ or ‘duck it’ themselfes.
“Fuck a guess, Duck it!” “I’m gonna ‘duck out’ for a minute”
“Duck this shit.”
I’m “ask jeevesing” it
