Stephen Sekula<p>I am still getting a handle on the full power of <a href="https://mastodon.cooleysekula.net/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mastodon</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.cooleysekula.net/tags/search" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>search</span></a> capabilities, but the ability to combine queries and have queries that target specific data is very powerful. I thought I would share an example.</p><p>I wanted to catch up on reporting on threats to public federal research funding for universities in the last 1-2 days. This query got me what I was looking for:</p><p>“After:2025-04-01 from:\@npr\@flipboard.com fund”</p><p>Change the news site account to suit your needs, of course.</p>

Working Class Games<p>Was trying a duckduckgo search for a restaurant in town, and I clicked on a link to read it, then came back to the search results. Suddenly a bunch of links disappeared and the first two links were now tripadvisor.</p><p>I selected hide site from these results and immediately a tripadvisor link from another url (different country) pops up. I kind of kept going and hiding about 15 results and new tripadvisor links kept popping up. This went on until "Search query entered was too long. Please shorten and try again."</p><p>So is this a bing-underneath thing, or direct enshittification of duckduckgo?</p><p>This is while using uBlockOrigin, but that didn't help, I didn't see any way that the ads differed from the normal links either.</p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/search" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>search</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/searchEngine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>searchEngine</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/enshittification" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>enshittification</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/adsAdsEverywhere" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>adsAdsEverywhere</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/duckDuckGo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>duckDuckGo</span></a></p>
