so @Mojeek seems to have at least deleted their death wishes off of their site, but with no explanation, and no explanation on how they will make sure that this doesn't happen to other people who may be in a worse place than I am currently and can take serious damage from things like exactly this.
To just let an AI post stuff on your page is so irresponsible. To not make sure things like this doesn't happen is irresponsible.
If you let an AI post something in your name, YOU are responsible for what it confabulates.
One more thing on the todo list: writing a blog post about #searxng. I've been using it on a personal instance for the last weeks and I'm pretty happy about the experience. It's my main search engine now, and I very rarely need to open another one.
It took me a while, but I have successfully manipulated China's search engine, Baidu, to acknowledge, "Taiwan independent day" and "Independent Taiwan" without Baidu showing maps of Taiwan incorrectly being included as part of China. 😎
No idea how long it will last, but from America, with love.
(It was not hard. Their search ranks easily and all I needed was a few bots to favor the content I wanted)
@robchapman Because it's cheap/free and clearly good enough, since so many people are using DDG.
The thing is, DDG can do Google searches with !g. Why couldn't it fail over to Google when Bing is down? (Answer: it could, but the developers didn't bother writing the 20 lines of code needed.)
