   Duck Duck Go is down because Bing is down.

   (Also, you saw the recent AI stuff, right?)

   Folks, I know… I use Duck Duck Go also but remember they have venture capital. Enjoy it while it lasts (or let’s fund and build alternatives differently that aren’t temporary businesses with profit motives and exits but commons-owned institutions working for the common good).

     @aral Aral, are you familiar with Stract (a search engine that is F/OSS)? It seems neat and has interesting features, but I haven't had time to investigate if it is what it appears to be https://stract.com/about

     @Cheeseness @aral they have some nice features and I tried switching to it full-time, but for one the performance and quality of results is not really there right now (forgivable) but they also started incorporating Aishit into their search :/
