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

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

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.

Great I went to linux to get away from their AI nonsense. But I still play minecraft. If its in the launcher I will just not use the official launcher though if its in the new version I will have to stick to the last ai free version. If theres no way to avoid it I will have to use a project like minetest or something.

Nice I will share this on the aussie instance.

Edit: I copied the format but removed permanent resident with just resident due to the website saying “Each person that signs your e-petition (including yourself) must confirm that they are a citizen or resident of Australia.” I am not sure if that means permanent or not.

I was considering getting this game on playstation at one point but I cannot support this behavior from the publishers.

Sorry we cannot afford to pay the DRM licensing fee. As a result we will no longer be able to inconvenience our customers or prevent people who were never going to pay for our game anyway from playing.

There is also a template on github. https://github.com/lynnpepin/arbitration-opt-out-templates/tree/main/Discord

Wait I already opted out of arbitration 5 or 6 years ago do I need to do it again?

What is the correct temperature for an Irish coffee?

Basically a Bing front-end that uses ad money to plant trees.

Ecosia added ai chat which I think runs on the same thing as copilot. I don’t see the point though and would like to be able to hide the ai chat option.

It should be illegal to force people to use generative ai to do things it is not needed for.
Seeing Microsoft’s plans to add ai to windows was the last straw that made me change to linux.

My take on live service games has always been if you make it live service you should also make a retirement plan so people can still play the game they paid for after the servers are shut down.

Each instance is its own server/website but the servers talk to each other.
People and companies can both host their own instances though I am not aware of any servers owned by businesses.

If someone shut down an instance all the posts that have already been federated will still be on the other servers that instance has connected to but there will be no new posts.

The Fediverse in general does have instances owned by companies like how Mozzilla has its own Mastodon server.
I also think the Owners of wordpress also showed interest in the fediverse though I am not sure if they went anywhere with that.

This comment is an example of federation since I am from kbin.social but you are from lemmy.world yet I can see your post and comment on it.

My guess is it is a bit of both.
