Ce qui me fume dans cette histoire de moteurs de recherche basés sur la technologie de (comme tout le reste de la plèbe j'ai découvert ça aujourd'hui), c'est que j'aurais jamais cru que les mecs qui ont conçu et ont persisté surtout, avec Internet Explorer pouvaient produire une techno suffisamment crédible pour qu'on veuille se reposer dessus.

Between the speech given where literally want to cloud base Windows (calling it Windows 365), the "Callback" wife beater tool and AI eating the Bing API for half a day today almost the entire W11 subreddit seems up in arms. I have never seen so many "I am switching to " and "I am saving up for a " comments as today.

Bing and related search engines crashed today, because @Techaltar plugged Ecosia so hard in today's video, causing millions to suddenly switch, true story.

We've made a little list of which country/area a service comes from:

https://www.lokjo.com/eu/list.php

You'll notice our online map has a european flag next to it. :blobhappy:

Just in case you'd like to support Europe and get away from those pesky US corporations taking over the whole place here.

Do a quick test for yourself and see which countries you support when using online services:

Big companies can't go down.
Big company services will never stop.
Big companies have THE CLOUD!

@stefano ah yes, the cloud...

And the funniest part is it took down Duckduckgo with it. Goes to show how big tech eventually becomes cannibalistic.

@kzimmermann @stefano "There's a lot of caching." How true this is. 🤣

So it seems that was down for the last few hours because of a outage. That's very annoying; DDG should probably get out from under Microsoft's coat tails...

@adamsdesk @kev I believe they are indexing themselves, but if I skimmed this correctly they blend the results from different sources:

@garritfra @kev I started to read this then stopped as my focus should be else where right now 😄. Happy to hear.

While is down, I tried out a few other search engines. I did a search I made yesterday in each. gave me an interesting looking blog first, then some less-related info from high-trust sources, then an interesting paper, then a bunch of garbage. gave me nothing that looked interesting, just pages that used some of the words from my search. gave me the less-related high-trust sources first, then the entire rest of the first page looked interesting.

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. 🕵️

Wow, THIS is an eye-opener. A visual representation of what Search API powers what other Search engine. I'd no idea Bing had become so prevalent. I didn't even realise my own choice of engine, Startpage, had abandoned Google for it!

NB: This actually lists SP as still using Google but Seirdy's list doing the rounds elsewhere correctly states it as having moved.
