Without Google's grubby paws across most the web, it'd be much more like the initial intent of what the internet was supposed to be, a welcoming place with open and accessible info!
If you don't want to pay to access a web search service, just use docker and run your own SearXNG instance! This will also allow you to host our own AI model that searches the web through SearXNG. While it may sound like a lot of work, it truly takes an afternoon and some unused RAM on your PC to make happen, then you're set up!

IMO: My personal problem with Docker is that it creates its own kind of vendor lock-in. Docker does not run on the server operating systems I use. The tendency is towards a Linux monoculture and that is never a good idea. Docker is a symptom, not a solution.

They've already got it mapped out.
Ah yes, the Volvo S90 and VW Passat, definitely SUVs. Even Google's screenshots show 40% garbage.

Is it really vendor lock-in if you can fork it at your whim?

forking doesn't really help with the underlying problem that docker is a layer to run on top of Linux's KVM. at a certain point though, it's become standard enough though that BSD not having a good way to support docker, or any other CRI containerization service for that matter, is a BSD failure, not a containerization failure

Welcome to the future, where asking a question costs $4.99 and you'll never be able to find out if the answer is right or not.
If it looked like https://ooh.directory/ I would be delighted.

My understanding is that this is only true for docker desktop, which there's not really any reason to use on a server.
Sure, since containers use the host's kernel, any Linux containers do need to either have Linux as the host or run a VM (as docker desktop does by default), but that's not particularly unique to docker

A communication network for scientists and the military?

Im going to look into this. What's the benefit of hosting your own searxng instance?

Using other search engines, I imagine.

This shit is why open source software has a bad reputation.

I hope that won't disappear anytime soon!

It's yours, no issues trusting a public instance with your searches. Pages full of settings to tweak as you like. Less problems with an algorithm 'helping' you. It averages searches over multiple search engines that you choose, you can set up your own (or a curated) block list of crappy AI slop sites, don't like fandom.com or something, gone. Manage your own bangs, e.g. !aa for annas-archive. Pipe it through a VPN with gluetun for better isolation. If you have your head around docker already it's more like half an hour to set up, so why not?
Can hook it up to perplexica and a local LLM for a fully local AI search that you define, use it as a MCP server, do deep research with it...

podman exists and doesn't force root...

Everything remains the same or with few changes

A massive amount of folks are fucked due to using google for email, data storage, calendar, contacts, etc.

Meh there's a ton of other services like opentofu, podman, vms, ect...

That's true, but all of their problem with docker are that it's Linux

I am asking my local searxng. As long as websites produce content there will be search robot that will crawl them, doesn't matter if it's google or common crawl dump. The content will be scrapped and indexed and you will be able to chose from where to find it. Google just relies on users that are locked in their freemium services. If they can force users to pay the users will pay for search. Fortunately for me I am not one of them. Good luck.

Unless general-purpose Internet services will be banned.
Have you noticed that laws about providing data on bad-bad criminals yadda-yadda implicitly ban everything not allowing to get that data?
And have you noticed that Russian bans of things that can't be filtered not only implicitly allow whitelist ban of protocols and services, but are also not very far from what EU and US lawmakers want?
In any situation, if what powerful guys are doing seems to promise good things for you, first consider the possibility that you don't understand what they are doing.
