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

I found the lost media I was looking for btw. https://archive.org/download/gmimage-editor-test

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

yeah there has been some posts on the fediverse about it as well. It is not just DuckDuckGo but all search engines that use Bing.

For those that dont want to click on the reddit link here is what was posted by Redatari. T

restarted all on prem devices.

mobile search down

everything else works except my search function.

The image they shared shows a search for test which gave the following error. “There was an error displaying the search results. Please try again.”

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.

C/steamedHams? At this time of year at this time of day in this part of the fediverse! Localized entirely within Lemmy.ca?!

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 haven’t tried Baldur’s gate but to get the lord of the rings bfme2 to run I set the runner to wine-ge-8-26-x86_64 and it started working in Lutris.

I also tested bottles before I moved to Lutris and there should be runner settings for graphics to be translated to Vulkan from directx.
I am using Linux Mint though which is debian based so idk if you have to do things different for wine in fedora.

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.

Nice I will have to test this in linux mint. Been wanting to get battle for middle earth 2 to run but keep getting errors on Bottles and Lutris.

Cute I thought the headlights and plate looked like a face so I made some changes. https://imgur.com/a/nPXRRzP
I was not sure whether to add the eye brows or not.

I guess it depends on the thickness and the type of clouds? https://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2012/01/24/3413924.htm

Cloud factor

There hasn’t been much research about the effect of cloud and the types of cloud on UV so at the moment the Bureau only gives a maximum clear sky value, and the times of the day when the UV index is expected to be above level three, he says.

“UV is affected by many things. One of those is cloud, but it depends upon what type of cloud it is, the thickness of the cloud and whether it is deep right through the atmosphere.”

UV radiation can penetrate through thin cloud, so you can still get high levels of UV at ground level on overcast days, he says.

Patchy clouds can also intensify UV levels because radiation is reflected off the clouds’ edge.

"In other words you get a mirror effect and the UV can bounce off the clouds and focus on the ground. You can get quite high UV levels at the ground during partly cloudy days when there are breaks in the cloud.

“You have to be very, very careful on those sorts of days not to assume you won’t get those sorts of extreme levels.”

That is a good question I guess it depends on how high the UV is?

Clouds are known to magnify UV rays which is why you should still wear a hat on a cloudy day.
