Well they official word is that it was intermittent... Maybe I just got lucky when testing

Nope I tried it precisely when DDG was out and it was working.... Images were not so those may have come from Bing... But regular searches were working
Tried start page after DDG outage on Thursday and I'm liking it a lot
Enjoy the freedom!
Very cool but even 15 years ago or so when I moved to Linux, I was already over Winamp and using Foobar... Loved it
This is what I try to tell people who just want the cheapest things possible. We're voting with our dollars what kind of world we want.
Ok, please tell me where can I buy that's wasn't totally or partially made in China??
I'm an avid learner and DIY, I try to only buy raw materials and tools to make everything I can myself ... I have yet to see standard basic tools that were not made in China...
I understand your point, but to expect that "voting with your wallet" will cause change, is like hoping we can turn around a cruise ship by blowing at it
Just look at the enshitification of everything... Did people vote that in with their wallets? Or all services decided that on greed and left us no choice but to hold our noses or give up the last few vestiges of entertainment that we could still afford?
People have been mad for decades about what Walmart did to retail in the US.
And the government stepped in and addressed the situation, right? Right?
Sure we will take the sacrifice... I'm sure this time capitalist will get the message and start behaving reasonably
It's like that time thousands of us reduced or eliminated meat intake and suddenly the Kardashians realized taking private jet flight to avoid a few minutes of traffic was bad and stopped doing it
Exactly... Meanwhile some poor soul goes to jail because he is too broke to pay for some parking fines
I believe in nuclear and hope you are right ...
We already have had real close calls on nuclear (Chernobyl for example).... Have we learned from our mistakes? I hope so
You are right, this corruption case was not about regulations but, imo, that's just a matter or price and time.
A long time ago I read about some horrible explosion in a sugar refinery and was amazed how so many industries have had lethal cases like that which can be traced directly to greed (not negligence, not an accident, not a bad mix of circumstances, just greed)
Since then I have all but convinced myself that every industry out there have had a similar example (usually more than one) which is why I have zero tolerance for the notion that industry can regulate itself. Every single time a politician talks about deregulation for efficiency or job creation, what they really mean is they are taking "donations" and couldn't care less that people get hurt
It's relatively easy to squeeze a profit boost by sacrificing long term vision.... Last quarter will mean nothing if Google is knocked from its pedestal in a year or two (which is what the current trend looks to be pointing to)
