  2. Outage continues at the Duck, but at least they have an outage screen up rather than just the server errors.

  7. Hey, yeah, #DuckDuckGo?

    FUCK YOU, THE HORSE YOU RODE IN ON, AND YOUR LITTLE DOG, TOO!

    This is what finally pushed me into setting my default search engine back to Google, because Google has better results, image search, and actually gives me the page content without this AI bullshit!

    GOD!

    Like, Google's search quality isn't half of what it used to be, but it's still better than Bing's, but it's this search that finally did it. I was willing to put up with crappier results if it meant I stood for something, but obviously DDG doesn't stand for SHIT!

    EDIT: In the interest of making this post useful, Firefox has the "udm14" plugin to make search somewhat better by automatically adding the udm=14 suffix to it. It's still Google and most of the problems with that, but it's honestly the least crappy search you can get these days.

  9. Does anyone have details on what caused #DuckDuckGone? Other than (fairly obviously) the Bing API died, there don't seem to be details. Not on The Verge, Arstechnica, Slashdot, just op-eds on search engine monocultures.
