My search forwarder https://codevoid.de/q=%s is now forwarding to the JS version of duckduckgo with a dark theme applied and safe search off. I’ve pretty much set my own preferences to it. If you prefer the html version, you can still just turn JS for DDG off and DDG will forward you. I find the html version totally usable, but it’s not customizable at all.

Somehow, http://www.lord-enki.net/medium-backup/2016-09-01_A-Qualified-Defense-of-Jargon—Other-In-Group-Signifiers-2fe2cd37b66b.html is getting a lot of hate. I thought it was pretty even-handed. Do people dislike it because I said culture fit should only matter when it impacts effectiveness, or that it’s useful at all?
