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.

Thank you for this. I also use Kagi so im totally gonna set the lens up.
What's Kagi?
It's a subscription-based search engine. From what I've seen, the results seem pretty good compared to everything else at this point, but IDK if I'd want to pay monthly for search (though honestly I'm seriously considering it at this point).
As someone who’s been a paid user for a few months now, it is totally worth it. It has its moments where I need to try another engine, but the vast majority of the time it’s way better. The ability to rank sites is a game changer, and as a bonus I can block Pinterest and the usual fluff from results and never see them again.
I bet it still respects search modifiers? Both DDG and Google frequently ignore mine.
That's interesting that lemmy doesn't generate canonicals. I would have thought that the original instance something is posted on would set the canonical, and other instances can point back to that - it really seems like this sort of problem is exactly what canonicals are made for. Does anyone know if there's a reason for not using them (other than dev time, which is 100% a good reason)?
Oh snap, + 1 for Kagi usage, I’ll try your implementation
