- Your post must be a screen capture of a microblog-type post that includes the UI of the site it came from, preferably also including the avatar and username of the original poster. Including relevant comments made to the original post is encouraged.
- Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
- You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
- Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
- Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

I also blame search engines. I type like "python file open parameters" and I really just want the official docs. They're not even on the first page of DDG.
Yesterday, one of our new devs was struggling to get the page count of a word file in Python. I asked if he could just use an index from one of the existing libraries we're using. He proceeded to search it on Bing and then waited for Copilot to generate slopcode at the top of the page. Shocked in horror, I asked, "Are you sure these are real functions?" He responded, I'm sure I can just copy and paste what I need. FML
10 best python file open parameters
2026 best python file open parameters
6 Reddit threads, a bunch of YouTube videos of people with shocked faces (why are they surprised?), an AI summary that may discuss something related to your query or may talk about ways to get a snake to open its mouth, several articles, pretty much anything except the reference manual.
THESE 10x DEV TRICKS WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!!!1!!1!1!1
I think the next underground social network should be called “car insurance.”
Nobody would ever find it through a search engine.
Fantastic
On my free trial of kagi the official docs are the very first result without any lenses or settings. I will be buying subscription soon because while not always but sometimes the results are better by a long shot over ddg and google for me.
I've heard good things about kagi, but $10/mo is pretty steep
If you have a subscription to Windscribe, addy.io, or one of Kagi's specials, you can get 3 months for free.
In the meantime i can recommend metager to you, much cheaper (i charged my account at creation with 10€, i've used 3,80€ currently after a few months of usage). You can configure how many tokens your search will use, if you want search suggestions for a fraction of a search and so on. i'm very happy with it and will stay with it, it's very cost efficient.
Edit: I forgot to mention that it is ad-free when paid, has dark mode, open sourced under the AGPL Licence, has blacklist and bangs support, and offers completely anonymous search requests by generating cryptographical tokens if you wish to.
Trust me, I thought the same, but its honestly almost life changing. Takes me right back to 2008 internet where I could find the shit I wanted. Very little seo and slop.
Kagi, mullvad, ublock origin with huge AI and ad blocklist waterfox (or Firefox) and private DNS are MUST HAVES to use the internet today.
Try the 5 dollar kagi first.
Hello, what do you mean when you say private dns?
Either mullvad DNS or nextdns.
Mullvad DNS is free for anyone to use. You can either change it within mullvad or in your network settings on your device or router. Pm me and I can help ya.
Basicakly results in less tracking and ads. Sometimes better network performance.
Lemming nerds correct if I'm wrong !
Oh that makes sense. Thanks. I was confused.
