Sorry, had to clarify. The results suck for non-english content.

Reading the article, I think the biggest hurdle for adoption of DDG in Europe is simply that the search results in non-english suck in comparison to other search engines. Not only that, but if my language contains characters outside of ASCII, performing a query and then repeating the query with a bang to get better result from another engine results in failure to redirect. Now I have to cut the query, repeat the bang and then paste the query into the other engine manually.

I like to be called latchkey generation, thank you.

And that's also how the world sees this cohort: they don't.

Hey, you could have left it up with a /s edit.

Man, this comment will definitely be misinterpreted.

Do you still have the Python script available?

I was fine with keeping my comments up before for the future searchers, but I'm not fine with that shithole making profit off of it.

There may be public value in showing that there are internal divisions within the Liberal party, but we knew that already.

I did not know. How do you know?

I've been emailing Steven for months now, but there's been zero response.

The only ones that respond regularly are the Green party MPs.

It's tactile and ergonomic.

Right. But it's compulsory in contrast. Which still doesn't help the case.
