Honestly, sometimes I wonder how much of neurotypicality is just a myth. I don’t know many neurotypical people, and the ones I do know don’t have their shit together any more than I do.

An “introduction” to lemmy that’s buried behind clicking through vague smalltext, and not any of the brightly colored buttons enticing you to pick a server.

This is bad UX.

Yeah, for some reason I was thinking you were trying to say that bolting on widgets made it no longer a search engine.

I see, you’re splitting the UI from the backend as two different things, and Im seeing them as parts to a whole.

then send them to the user to be displayed

This is where my understanding breaks. Why would displaying it as a summary mean the backend process is no longer a search engine?

Maybe I just don’t know what “generating results” means. You query a search engine, and it generates results as a page of links. I don’t understand how generating a page of links is fundamentally different from generating a summation of the results?

What do you mean its not generating the results? If the summation isn’t generated, wheres it come from?

I had to tell DDG to not give me an AI summary of my search, so its clearly intended to be used as a search engine.

Implying I didn’t feel old then, lmao
