'The Washington Post reported Friday that Reddit might cut off Google and force users to log in to Reddit itself to read anything, if it can’t reach deals with generative AI companies to pay for its data. Initially, Reddit seemed to deny the report.... But after the Post corrected that story, only one major detail had changed — the Post no longer suggests Reddit users would need to log in.'
'X, well, Twitter.com, is now blocking Bing Search, specifically Bingbot, from crawling and accessing content posted on Twitter.com, on the X platform. Twitter specifically added to its robots.txt file a directive to disallow Bingbot from crawling the content on its platform.'
For me, personally, it was with DDG that I learned how #Google was privacy-invasive, and my starting point to learning more about #privacy.
As controversial as they are with conflicts of interest, I think they opened quite the door to what alternative #searchengines could be. Search and then metasearch came up and gave us a lot more privacy-friendly alternatives.
The colleague, who added @rustlang support to #syslog_ng left many years ago. Syslog-ng #Rust support was last touched 7 years ago. Still, there are regular downloads. Just #searchengines or there are real users? Does it actually work?
