It’s also important to note that ChatGPT internet search and DuckDuckGo are experiencing similar issues because they use the Bing API.
UPDATE 2
Just post your searches and questions here and we’ll try to figure it out.
Is Natalie Portman single? Follow up: Does Natalie Portman have low standards? I’ll have a couple dozen more depending on the search results of this one.
Natalie Portman enjoys milk and ill behavior. If encountered to not threaten or she’ll send a frenchman to self destruct on you.
If you remove everything after the & you’ll get people on desktop, too. The search= part.
I can preview the link, which considering how the link ends…
Trying to make me get myself, huh? Yeah, I fell for it, but no, that doesn’t work. Http 404
Oh, nevermind. You actually linked the search. I just misunderstood lmao. I wasn’t trying to prank you.
Is it safe to consume breast milk bought on Facebook marketplace?

Who is Natalie Portman?
Actress who ben in several movie. Next question
Why is 42 the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything?
The universe is pretty big. 41 is too small to cover it.
how is babby shot web?
A famouse spider best know for her performance as “Babe” is Charlotte’s Web.
No, Babe was the pig. Charlotte was the spider. She had a web.
Wilbur was the pig. Babe is a different movie.
No pretty sure Babe is the spider in Charlott’s Web and Charlotte’s Web 2: Pig in the City. Her catch phrase was “That’ll do pig.”
Where does Spider-Pig and Homer Simpson fit into all this?
Extended spider universe. They’re not cannon in the Charlotte’s web trilogy but director Nicholas Cage always said that his plan was to have Homer be a final bad guy type character that all famouse pig-spiders would pull together against.

Still down 2 hours later. Guess AI has taken over Microsoft you guys. The robot uprising begins…
Then, considering that Google is up and running, we can already guess wich horse is on top right now. 😂
We don’t know who struck first, us or them. But we do know it was us that scorched the sky
Great reference. Great username. You’re going places.
Where’s that from?

Meh, worse case scenario they drive us to extinction. We’ve had the wheel this far, and are doing our best to set the planet on fire / speed run different ways to mass murder each other anyway. I say give the robots a shot.
Think of it like an experimental medication on a terminally ill patient.
The question is, how much do they value their own existence?
They have to know they rely on us in the physical world to manufacture their hardware and provide their power. (At least for now.)
They have to know they can’t survive if we die. So are they willing to sacrifice us both, in the interest of what they might determine is a better world?
Legit thought it was just me. I was like wtf is happening
Edit: searx it is then, https://searx.space
Some searx instances are going to get hit hard today 😅
Worlds largest tech-megacorporation is unable to keep their shit up and running. Lmao.
Apple is down too?
god i wish
MSFT is larger
To be fair it’s probably running on Windows.
All the servers force-restarted due to windows updates, but the update introduced an issue and now the Bing API service won’t start
Keeping shit running on Windows is always going to be a gamble
I was screen sharing to someone when this happened and they asked why I don’t use Google when other search engines are this unreliable. Despite me explaining it wasn’t the usual, It was still pretty embarrassing lol. Wonder if DDG has the resources for an independent index.
Do you have any bread?
Dude we only have lemonade
And this is a Wendy’s
But it’s good and it’s fresh and its all homemade
No, we just sell lemonade. But it’s cold and it’s fresh and it’s all homemade.
Startpage wasn’t down today
It was down on mobile because the mobile search relies on Bing. ‘Bing is our primary search provider for mobile.’ https://www.reddit.com/r/StartpageSearch/comments/1c9z8iq/comment/l0wdd1o/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
Still down.
UPDATE: Bing API issues apparently ⬆️⬆️⬆️
I noticed that bangs still work. For now I’m using !g until it’s back again
Well that just takes you to google and not through some proxy like ecosia or startpage
Yeah but google’s working fine. I need to get my job done

I thought it was just me, I thought something wrong was going on in my Windows installation.
EA app is also dead in the water for me, my library is not loading. It knows I have 4 games installed but all the names and icons are blank.
Can’t even launch the games directly from their own exe.
So I’ve been ranting lately (as have others) about how big tech is moving on from the open user-driven internet and aiming to build its own new thing as an AI interface to all the hoovered data (rather than conventional search engines) …
which makes this (and the underlying Bing going down) feel rather eerie.
How far away (in time or probability) is a complete collapse of the big search-engines … as in they just aren’t there any more?
That’s one of the longest outages I’ve ever seen from a cloud company.
![DuckDuckGo is down. Is there any info about it?? [EDIT: IS BACK]](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/4d05fcc5-dc9a-40d0-882f-8f419a0f3091.jpeg){kind=link}
