I am 28 and i have always thought that the as long as you know how to operate a search engine you can find out what you need. The reason computer people know computers better than you do is because computer people can use a search engine better than you

    Good thing search engines are optimized for advertising instead of utility!

    I use searx and DNS level adblocking. Online ads are almost a completely foreign concept for me as 99.9% of the time they just never even load.

    I remember when Google used to be perfectly functional as long as you knew the right search tools. Now it thinks it knows what I'm searching for better than I do, and that almost always means pointing me towards something someone paid for lol
