Regarding https://www.uninformativ.de/blog/postings/2024-05-23/0/POSTING-en.html: I remember using Star $Something back in the days. I don't remember the exact name anymore and none of the screenshots of StarOffice look familiar. Hmm. I have a green UI in mind. Not sure if I completely hallucinate it or whether that was actually the case. It was a commercial software, not freeware, we had to buy it, I think.

My first LaTeX distribution was MiKTeX with – if I remember correctly – the TeXNicCenter. A bit later on Linux I used Kile as my LaTeX editor. LaTeX produces the worst error messages I've ever come across. So compile early and often. But the results are amazing.

I know people who never make use of headings and the like to this day. Bold, italics, underline etc. is all they use. Despite writing larger documents. Admittedly, it took me a while to figure out and appreciate all the advantages of actually marking up the document structure properly.

These days I rarely reach for LaTeX or LibreOffice to craft new stuff in my private life. Simple text files is usually it. RST and Markdown if it has to be more fancy.

@movq @prologic @bender Oh, I neither noticed the DDG downtime nor was I aware of their partnership with Bing. O_o Oh dear! Never heard of most search engines in this linked graph.
I need a reality check
@movq I will take this as pretty clear:

> "we have more traditional links and images in our search results too, which we largely source from Bing"

Emphasis mine. Of course, they could have spelled "links" as "results". We all know that was done purposely. 😅
@prologic Going to be interesting to find out what caused this. 🤔 Bing (like, the real bing.com) is still down for me as well.

DuckDuckGo’s help page doesn’t really make it clear that they rely on Bing *that much*:

https://duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/sources/

I guess this outage is a good thing. 😅 Lots of people now read up on this.

I’ve been using DuckDuckGo for years now, worked fine. Today it’s down – and now I’m learning that it runs on Bing? 😳
