Oooh, this is cool and I should have seen it before! I'll start using it. Thanks!
I'm still clinging to my former habits from when I was on Reddit using RIF and having a "refresh" button available at all times.

Is there a feature you'd like or a bug you need to report? If so, ask for it (and if doable among all that needs to be done, I guess it will be implemented)
I'm really happy about Eternity and have only minor quibbles, I'd like fixed (none of which are deal breakers and I'll be happy even if they never get implemented).
In my case, I'd like
(1) The option to reload at any point. When I doom scroll too much and want to reload, I need to scroll all the way up to the very beginning
(2) When I scroll down, the top part of the feed gets mixed up with the clock, the battery and more generally the notification bar, so I cannot read well anymore
If they have already been implemented, I guess I didn't find them in the options
In any case, Eternity is awesome! I had installed about 7 apps last summer when I didn't know what to use. Now it's Eternity all the way!
Dormammu, I've come to bargain
Thanks! So it's some sort of guidelines Google and other search engines laid out which can be exploited to maximize visibility. Very annoying indeed
What could possibly go wrong? 🤔
I'm late to the party and I don't understand several things I read in the comments, so I need to ask for clarification.
What is Google's Search Engine Optimization (SEO)? I looked it up, but the websites StartPage was giving me were not useful (probably ads or spam sites). Is finding these ads/spam sites the problem?
How is this a search engine's fault? I mean, if the internet is now made by walled gardens and spam sites, search engines have trouble finding something really relevant, but how is it their fault?
I should add I navigate logged out on Firefox with the Ublock Origin and NoScript extensions (among others) so I at least don't see Google's ads.
I agree there are some searches where it's next to impossible to find informed sites from spam ones: just a week ago I was looking for "Best Nintendo Switch games released in 2023" and I got lots of dubious blogs, and even when I got hits from IGN, GameSpot or PcMag sites, I realized I don't know if any of these last sites are genuine or bought out (and checked the Wikipedia for more wisdom about their veracity), but how is it the search engine's fault to not navigate through seas of crap?
When I search for academic things, Google or StartPage still seem to give me useful answers.
I have been wary about searches related to reviews about anything, but it just seemed to me the internet is a worse place now in general (because of walled gardens and spam)
Disclaimer: I'm late to this whole discussion and I also don't understand some things (I don't fully understand what SEO is and why it's bad, though from the comments I understand it's part of what's making search engines worse nowadays)
Given that: I also made some searches where I wouldn't get anything good in the first pages, but that seemed to be dictated by the amount of spam sites too, isn't it?
I mean, I use the Ublock Origin and NoScript extensions for Firefox and search logged out of Google, so I don't get advertisements, but I agree that, depending on what I search, I need to fight through large amounts of crap to find something good. Still I don't understand (and it's my lack of knowledge in this) why it's the search engine's fault for not being the best and hiding spam sites
Honest question: what you've described is very disturbing (having to wade through lots of bot reposts), but why would this be Google's fault (or DuckDuckGo's or Bing's or StartPage"s or Kagi's)?
I'm not trying to save the search engines since they're also out to make a profit, but if half the internet is spam, why would this be a search engine's fault? I mean, we can complain it's not sophisticated enough to navigate through the crap
Fixed: added second paragraph
Oooh, I think you're right. I was so carried by the reality of all the statements that I missed that the 2nd and 4th panels feature statements which are diametrically opposite.
Thanks!!!
I'm still not laughing, but I get the twist and why it's funny!
Edit: fixed grammar
I had to read it three times, because I didn't find it funny at all in any sense and I was trying to find a funny twist, but I didn't succeed. It's too real for me
Conosco Esami, La Serie di Edoardo Ferrario, ma non mi vengono in mente veri film che rappresentino accuratamente il mondo universitario.
Se ne conoscete, dite quali per favore (vanno bene anche video su YouTube)
Suppongo inoltre che OP si riferisse solo all'università italiana, perché film americani ambientati all'università ce ne sono parecchi
Edit: sistemata grammatica
I don't know if this YouTuber is reliable, but if he is (and the video does look well made and the guy looks wholesome), then this is disturbing and worrying on several different levels...
