Should we even be calling it the open web at this point?

7 because I don’t want to be stuck in the woods with someone elses computer. Also 7 has the good version of paint.

Is that Winstone or Winslove?

Thank you I never really used comic sans but Comic Neue looks really nice. I think I might actually use that.

I found the lost media I was looking for btw. https://archive.org/download/gmimage-editor-test

I don’t really use it for anything. Though I imagine it would would make it easier to read having comic sans in white on a dark terminal.

So a comic made for children would be the best context for it?

Did it actually get used in a presidential speech? That is pretty wild.

True a font that is hard to read isn’t very good especially if you are dyslexic.

True it was overused at one point. I guess a lot of the hate is just exaggerated from people getting annoyed how much it showed up in resumes and official documents as well as being used by amateur graphics designers . Which is fair. The font itself I think still serves a purpose when used correctly.

Thank you I tried Mojeek a few days ago but I forgot what it was called. the site for mojeek is mojeek.com btw.

yeah there has been some posts on the fediverse about it as well. It is not just DuckDuckGo but all search engines that use Bing.

For those that dont want to click on the reddit link here is what was posted by Redatari. T

restarted all on prem devices.

mobile search down

everything else works except my search function.

The image they shared shows a search for test which gave the following error. “There was an error displaying the search results. Please try again.”

Btw If you are not sure which instance of searx to pick look for one with your country code.

youcare.world is still up but that is based on google and I am not sure how legit the tree planting is. Not to mention their privacy policy mentions facebook which is always a red flag. https://youcare.world/privacy?l=en

Oh startpage is starting to work again maybe it was under extra load from people using it while bing is down?

Funny thing is the way I found out bing was down is I searched for startpage in duckduckgo to try it thinking it might be a good alternative but when DDG wasnt working I tried it on ecosia. which was also down once I finally opened start page it wasn’t working either. Its all bing all the way down.

I think having all the search engines being front ends for just bing and google has just revealed an obvious weakness.

I would argue that the corporate ai mess is not the real internet and that the real internet is made up of people. If the Corporations want to make their walled gardens unusable then the internet community should rebuild and make the internet usable again.
I have been considering for a while making a community around asking the sort of questions people would normally search for so people can give answers that can be added to a list though idk how practical that would be?

True I generally use duckduckgo though I would like to see more open source options instead of everything being front ends for google and bing.
