@Uraael@blahaj.zone

I am Uraael.

Pronounced "Yu-RAYL" it's the name of my Soul which exists outside our dimensons of space and time, waiting for me in the car.

Note: what you see in the name box is whatever amuses me that day. Just call me Uraael.

Quiet Scottish Geek. Veteran Defender of Social Justice, Privacy and Human Freedoms. Gentle soul undergoing Kintsugi. Country boy at heart.

I am romantically entwined with @MariaTheMartian, my Twin Flame. 🔥🔥. We used to joke that our Love could melt servers...and then Firefish actually died. Um, sorry about that.

It’s Corbyn’s last stand. But can he beat Labour's Starmerite machine? | Andy Beckett https://www.theguardian.com/politics/commentisfree/article/2024/may/24/jeremy-corbyn-independent-general-election-labour-keir-starmer

Uraael,

@journalismrss

“He’s torn,” his close ally Diane Abbott, who herself may soon have to decide whether to run against Labour as an independent, told me a few months ago. “He’s a Labour person. He’s always been a Labour person.”

He still is a Labour person. It's Labour that isn't Labour any more, having abandoned any pretence of hewing to Leftist ideology. What happened under his tenure is that the party polarised into two camps. Starmer and co ousting him and anyone like him was as much pogrom against ideological enemy as we see elsewhere. If he could ignite that same revolutionary fire in people again he could be as influential to UK politics as Farage has been.

I mean, as a Scot I wouldn't vote for him but I've always believed he's exactly the progressive force England needs right now.

Certain search engines have reached out to me since I made my list of search engine indexes asking to be moved from the Bing-based engines section to the semi-independent engines section because they have their own indexes.

All returned zero organic link results for some time during the Bing outage.

Qwant has contacted others (not me) regarding claims of Bing-dependence whenever it became a hot topic, insisting that it mixes results from its own index with Bing (something usually against the Bing ToS unless you somehow manage to negotiate an exception, which rarely happens and has finer details covered by NDAs). Has anybody seen evidence of Qwant using its own index? It’s one of the engines whose organic results went completely dormant during the Bing outage.

Uraael,

@Seirdy

Qwant's service was absolutely non-functional yesterday. Are we expected to believe it's coincidence that "their own index" collapsed at the same time and for the same length of time as Bing's API did? "We've built an index but it doesn't work without someone else's bigger index" isn't building an index.

I can't see that they have a leg to stand on, and I'm moving them into the negative column for even daring to try and suggest otherwise.
