A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Sure, if that makes sense for you go for it. To me, 60$ a year is a single pizza delivery, so it seems foolish for me to worry too much about it when it's something I need consistent use of throughout the day, every day. I find a good search engine way more essential than a tv streaming service, so it really is a no brainer for me.
True. I'm definitely not their target audience. SearXNG is great bc if configured right I get great results that aren't too cluttered. I'd rather have it hosted by someone I can trust (a friend of a friend runs the instance I use) and not have to worry about it. I'm not against payed services but I do hate subscriptions except for when they're truly necessary.
