My husband is presenting in an all-day #ADHD virtual conference with other experts in the field, including Dr. Edward Hallowell, for an #ADD/ADHD audience.
He put his slide deck on #Google Slides as required. Then technical glitches occurred (slides weren’t fully loading) during the test run. The IT person asked him if he was on a Mac (he is). According to the IT person, they have trouble with Mac users being able to run slideshows when there are multiple presenters.
When Bing, Microsoft’s search engine platform, went down early yesterday, it took down a number of services with it, including ChatGPT search, Yahoo, and DuckDuckGo — all of which rely on the Bing API to operate.
With the majority of Google search alternatives taken out in one fell swoop, it highlighted the lack of competition that Google search truly has, and the implications that has on our online experience. Is there another way? @arstechnica has more.
Today is #NewstodonFriday, a day to feature work from newsrooms that have an active presence in the #Fediverse.

If you're a journo or newsroom that we don't know about (or there's someone that should be on our radar), please comment below.
☝️ Yes, the #Internet was not broken yesterday, only #Bing from #Microsoft and therefore these so-called alternatives, which apparently resist #Google. You should expand your naive belief and behaviour via #SearXNG and/or #Stract search. You can find it by #search'ing for the corresponding hashtags in #Fediverse.
It seems that Google is failing again with the first attempts of integrating AI into search or are we just seeing the terrible mistakes and is 98% of the experience great ?
In marketing/PR terms , things are not going well i think. For OpenAI it's easier they don't have a userbase with billions of users (Gmail, Search, Drive etc.). #AI#Google
I see all these people posting the amazingly god-awful answers that #Google#AIOverview gives them to questions and I keep asking myself, “how come every time I ask I just get a blank screen?“
If you are trying to #degoogle your life, be aware that one of the unpleasant side effects is that a shit ton of people will not be able to receive #email from you. I've been on an email address handled by my shared server provider for like 15 years now, and I can attest that #google and #yahoo are both pretty bad for blocking anything from a #domain outside the big providers.
Koniec swiata - juz nawet #Linus z #LinusTechTips (tak, wiem, ostatnio jego reputacja jest mocno nadszarpnieta) tworzy serie "Jak sie odciac od #Google", bazujaca wlasnie na tym, ze Google bez pytania bierze sobie nasze dane i wykorzystuje w swoich algorytmach
23.5.2024 - Der Tag an dem offensichtlich wurde, dass Bing praktisch die einzige verbliebene Alternative zu Google ist. Alle anderen "Suchmaschinen" sind Bing mit Schlapphut und Trenchcoat. 🕵️
Funktionieren #Startpage und #DuckDuckGo bei euch?
Ich hab da schon den ganzen Tag Probleme und Fehlermeldungen. Nur #Google funktioniert normal. Erst dachte ich, das liegt am Arbeits-PC (der hat nur Google-Chrome und allgemein nur Google-Gedöns), aber auf dem Handy mit Fennec zickt Startpage auch.
Hmm I probably have the most ridiculous #robotstxt for a #Misskey instance right now lol. I just want to let #Mojeek and #Marginalia crawl #Makai and make sure to keep out #Google and the AI scrapers... :satrithink:
🧵 …die alternative Suchmaschinen, zu den oben erwähnten jetzige Panne bei Bing und deren abhängigen Internet Suchmaschinen, hatte ich schon länger mal getootet. Die zwei, die für mich (momentan) Alternativen sind, habe ich hier mal hingewiesen und verlinkt 🔎
🧵 …mal sehen wie den eben erwähnten Bing Problem eine positieve Auswirkung auf Europa hat. Ich hoffe die @openwebsearcheu von der @osf wird nicht neu erfunden und wird eine dezentrale Weiterentwicklung von den zwei oben erwähnten independent Open-Source Web-Suchmaschinen wie SearXNG und Stract.
@DropBear@serge There is so much wrong with your post that it would take forever to properly unpack... Primarily you are tokenizing Jews via one of the most fringe sects out there. Secondly, you fundamentally do not understand what Zionism is.
You are either spewing #Soviet#propaganda or you disagree with this characterization. The only way you can remove any doubt is by citing your own reliable source(s) from where you got this idea.
