Everything except LibriVox (yes, this is where knitting gets discussed. Now includes non-LV Volunteers Wanted projects)

The Internet is Dead.

A stupid hot take? Maybe not. All you get are social media links and recycled somethings from 2011. It's fossilized. It's dead. For instance if I type data eye colour I get at best some AI spew pool that is rubbish. Below that social media pieces or Reddit rubbish.

I am looking for academic search engines. Hopefully ones that can be added to Firefox. Yes, if it's a Google specialist engine I will use that. As long as I am not bombarded with rubbish like how to play the Forza video game. The search itself for such engines shows the problem: I get an article from 2020 and many of those engines no longer exist.

Two signposts present themselves. One is "social media and AI trash this way". The other sign is "take the high road and learn something". I want to take the high road.

Yes I know that I meant search engines in the title. But anything with lies in it may show my point.
