DuckDuckGo is a great replacement for Google or Bing.
It has good private search results along with useful “instant answers” (eg can give you weather, translations, or unit conversations without going to another site), a private map tool similar to Google/Apple maps, a private AI chat tool, and more.

Congrats to @Business Cat on a strong first podcast with guest @AC (the cooler of the two of us 😉). I enjoyed hearing AC’s journey into local food & circular bitcoin economics and about surviving #inflation #poleshift
I’ve subscribed on @Fountain and recommend others do too!

Any #nostr folks going to #porcfest this year?
Looking for some #nostr promotional material—fliers, postcard-size handouts, etc— that I can print locally and bring to an event next week. Can anyone point me to some already available resources? 🙏🏻

Heads up: There’s a big Audible.com sale going on for the next two days. You have to have a subscription but if you don’t have one you could do the 30 day free trial, snag some 85% off #audiobooks, then cancel at the end of the trial…
