This engineering marvel is an amazing mouse I've used for years and you won't believe it!

Is "fixed stuff" a good git commit message for a big project? I'm asking for myself 🤔

@marnanel @SeitheTokani DDG uses bing API in the background. They don’t have their own search index. They and many others depend upon Bing API for search results.

Forget privacy and everything else, they can’t even keep magical AI API working. Too much dependency on 3rd party is always a bad thing no matter how much positive spin you put on it.

DuckDuckGo, Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT's web search, Ecosia, and Qwant all stopped working this morning because of Bing API. 😂 And they want Microsoft Copilot deeply integrated with Windows OS. Imagine someone is unable to book emergency medical appointments because Microsoft Copilot is down or you can't withdraw money or transfer funds through netbanking because AI and screenshot services are down. This is a good example of why we must not trust someone like Microsoft for anything serious.

Do you remember Netscape? Did you ever use it as your default browser? 🤔

@tess Scarlett Johansson is a rich, very well connected, and famous personality. If that's how Sam Altman treats her, imagine how he'll treat common people like artists and writers, from whom he has already stolen. This man is a menace to society. He doesn’t understand meaning of words “no” or asking for consent. He is a bully and high on hype train. I really hope every artist sue him and win against this bully.

@rotopenguin haha 🤣 next time I will go with this one ☝️
