Is it just me or are many independent search engines down? Duckduckgo, my go to engine, qwant, ecosia, startpage… All down? The only hint I got was on the qwant page…

Edit: it all seems to be related to bing being down. I hope the independent engines will find a way to get really independent…

      one of the nicest (and controversial) tools is the option to have AI summarize a webpage. I hate it and love it at the same time

        We love to hate AI because it is overvalued, at the same time I’m currently 90% done with my work week thanks to some cheeky AI use. Guilty pleasures.

        I find it quite ethical. Its fastGPT protocol gives hyperlinks too all of it sources used. Its like AI without thw stealing.
