ramble81 , to Ukraine in African mercenaries are lured into the Russian army with an initial payment of $2,000, a $2,200 monthly salary, medical insurance, and a passport for the soldier and family members.

Speaking with ignorance and not malice: how is this different from say what the French Foreign Legion was? I don’t know that history.

qyron ,

The French Foreign Legion is an elite force, open to non french individuals to enlist.

Because it is, by nature, a multicultural force, the legion has a specific trainning regime to develop unit spirit. These are not cannon fodder: any individual that can make the FFL, can after three years of service request french citizenship.

Russia seems to be just trying to find bodies to fill the ranks.

d00ery ,

The French are on our side.

And TBF, I don't think they've invaded anyone for quite a while nor had colossal losses.

Bartsbigbugbag , (edited )

No, they just hold massive colonial holdings from which they extract trillions of dollars of wealth and materials from, no need to invade.

Tried it on Bing too for comparison, 4th result and it's actually the current version.

bluewing ,

Mistakes were made. It happens, OK? I'm quite certain Bing won't let THAT happen again......../////

For my, VERY limited needs for the tiny bit I have dabbled in programing or even just help with some Linux issues, I've been using Phind. It seems to work a whole lot better than any of the other search engines. But my needs can't really twist the tail like real programmers.

Blackmist ,

Oh please don't make me use Bing.

I will make you keep a postgreql docs tab open and use its search bar

jonasw , to Programmer Humor in What it's like to be a developer in 2024

Kagi:

https://discuss.tchncs.de/pictrs/image/c1456a12-871e-4fda-8e50-716eb0d7de6d.png

First result is the official documentation with the page that contains information about the in operator

This was the result: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/functions.html

BUT it is the documentation for 9.0

Though if I would use postgresql documentation very often I could just use the Kagi feature that rewrites URLs with a regex, so I can replace it always with the latest version.

Kagi Documentation for that feature:

https://help.kagi.com/kagi/features/redirects.html#redirects-url-rewrites

Some use cases of redirects include:

  • Change domains to a preferred domain (reddit.com to old.reddit.com)
  • Fixing links to outdated documentation with bad SEO
  • Rewriting proxied pages (like Google AMP) to their source URL
  • Changing any http link to https
Woovie ,

Interesting, my Kagi results gave W3Schools, geeks for geeks, and postgresqltutorial.com before the official docs, but hey still way better than OP's results!

jonasw ,

Kagi has search personalization where you can lower/raise/pin specific domains (one of kagis main selling points) and I blocked geeks for geeks and w3schools, as these are irrelevant for me and I don't want them in my results

pkill ,

can't you do that on a self-hosted searxng? I know you can do that with YaCY, but YaCY search results kinda suck

jonasw , (edited )

I don't think that's possible with searxng (but I'm not 100% sure, but I can't seem to find that feature)

I know there are browser extensions which can filter out domains in search results for different search engines like google and duckduckgo.

But the pinning/lowering/raising is a bit trickier to implement as an extension, because what kagi does is basically:

  1. Load 3 pages of search results in the backend
  2. Show a result as the first entry if it matches a rule for pinning
  3. Influence the search ranking algorithm with the lower/raise rules of the user
  4. Filter out blocked domains

It would be possible but not as "streamlined" as Kagi does.

Don't get me wrong, Kagi definitely has its rough edges and the search ranking algorithm is sometimes very unpredictable, but it provides good enough results for me to be worth the 10$ per month for unlimited searches.

Hubi , to Ukraine in Another Ukranian anti-aircraft missile unit shared their kill marks.
@Hubi@lemmy.world avatar

It's been a while since I've seen any helicopters getting shot down. It doesn't seem like Russia uses them as much as they did in the beginning.

OwlPaste ,

I guess its hard to shoot them down as they fly low and do untargetted over borizon fire before running back woth tail between their legs. That goes for both sides, but i seen more helicopters lost when they were stationary

partial_accumen ,

Likely lots of factors.

  • so many shot down there are fewer to fly
  • sanctions hurting repair channels meaning they fly fewer hours to reduce maintenance demands
  • longer range Ukrainian missiles exceed the useful operational range of helicopters so to use them they'd have to station them inside Ukrainian missile range
  • Lack of trained pilots? We know that Russian army trainers were put to the front lines (and liquidated), it wouldn't surprised me if this was also done to helicopter trainers so now that they are dead the pipeline for new pilots is drastically reduced.

Not only longer range but also highly mobile air defense supplied by NATO countries specially designed to take on helicopters.

NOT_RICK , to Ukraine in Russian forces dropped 4 FAB aerial bombs on the Russian town of Shebekino, instead of Ukrainian Volchansk, according to the head of the district.

anamethatisnt ,

Your result returns version 9.0 that went EOL 2021, same as Googles fourth result in OP.
nvm, second result is correct.

FierySpectre ,

Interesting how the second "correct result" is years older

AProfessional ,

Seems creation time not modified. Makes sense “current” is older.

tyler ,

yeah not ideal, but if the actual functionality of that operator hasn't changed then I wouldn't expect the version to matter. Same with searching most ruby stuff and getting old results. it hasn't changed in decades, it ain't changing now. But I did scroll down and literally every result was from the postgres docs so that's a marked improvement from the google results.

Yandex:

First result with a more up to date version. No AI, only quotes from the source. Still shows a bunch of SEO.

Omgarm , to Programmer Humor in What it's like to be a developer in 2024

On duckduckgo it was only the the 4th result! Pretty decent.

snaggen ,
@snaggen@programming.dev avatar

Had to test with Kagi also, leads with official documentation, after that tutorials and unofficial things. Nothing obviously irrelevant. The only thing with the Kagi results, was that there were a few very simmilar official documentation links (for different postgresql versions) at top. But, still good search results. Not sure why anyone is still using google, when there are quite a few better alternatives availale

njm1314 , to Ukraine in African mercenaries are lured into the Russian army with an initial payment of $2,000, a $2,200 monthly salary, medical insurance, and a passport for the soldier and family members.

I mean, I wouldn't call that lured that's just a job and benefits. That's that's what everyone uses to get employees.

@Zoboomafoo@slrpnk.net avatar

You're assuming they get any of that and not just a stick and an order to charge a Ukrainian position

Crack0n7uesday ,

It's a lot easier to not pay a dead foreign soldier than a full time employee you have to lay off.

Why are you googling? Lol

Keep seeing this but what the alternative?

Ddg is garbage, kogi is paid so what's the go too

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

DDG and is great. Let’s test your theory.

Provide a real world example of something you would search for, and we can see how they both do.

Corigan ,

Fair I can try it again.

Maybe all search engines are awful vs the height of Google before it's enshitfication

tsonfeir ,
@tsonfeir@lemm.ee avatar

It’s only getting enshittier.

Searching anywhere kinda sucks. Especially if it’s an obscure topic. I swear half of what I search for just sends me to Reddit nowadays.

boatsnhos931 , to Ukraine in In Moscow, a man who was assaulted and robbed tried to file a police report, but was fined 50,000 RUB and given a military summons because of his multicolored hair.

Considering where they/them are, they are lucky thems ain't dead or in Siberian prison

LaFinlandia OP ,
@LaFinlandia@sopuli.xyz avatar

Chances of survival is higher in a Siberian prison than the Russian army.

boatsnhos931 ,

I'm apt to agree with you but if your aim is to escape from each I'd say that it's a little easier to desert from the army and sneak over a border somewhere. The weather and pesky jail cells will really slow a jolly good fellow down in Siberia plus from the pics I don't think his mouth/ass would fare well in any prison... Best chance of survival/escape IMHO is the army

It's not that the army doesn't also have a rape culture.
