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?
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.
