I've been a ddg user full time for 15+ years and I did see it improve quite lot over time. But quality dropped when Yandex was cut off.
Lately, I've noticed YET AGAIN being trapped in a bubble with results being to clever for their own good ... I did leave Google PRECISELY for the bubble effect ...
Not even mentioned the AI shenanigans with ridiculous results at times. DDG is not immune to enshitification. Way too many managers thinks they know better than the user ... they don't.
Failed to open window: WebGPU context not initialized. Was Platform::run() called?
Not being able to load the component gallery does not inspire great confidence.
Because you'll be stonewalled by devs because they can't really changer decisions made bu higher ups.
Edit: I'd sign it, but don't want manage and diffuse it.
I get that it is particularly valuable in that scenario by treating other services as "external API", but monolith also do call "external API" and delegate work to async tasks. The principles discussed here API are interesting beyond just micro-services while being lighter and simpler than Durable Execution.
I'm done. Starting to look for an alternative.
See where this is going ?
Aggressive spamming => Aggressive reporting.
Until it's so, it's just hearsay to me by someone having a multi-billion horse in the race.
Do yourself a favour, use ToroDB instead (or even straight PostgreSQL's JSONB).
PyPA has been a mess for a very long time for in-fighting, astroturfing, gatekeeping and so on with pip being the battlefield. The uv team just did one thing that PyPA & co stopped doing a long time ago (if they ever did ...) : actually solving pain point of their user and never saying "it's not possible because [insert bullshit]" or reply "it's OSS, do it yourself" to then reject the work with attitude and baseless argument.
They listened to their user's issues and solved their pain points without denying them. period.
