Bing’s API is down, taking Microsoft Copilot, DuckDuckGo and ChatGPT’s web search feature down too
"In this particular case, it’s interesting to see the increasingly important role of Bing’s API. While Google still dominates when it comes to web search, many services are now reliant on Bing’s API."
Relying on one company doesn't seem like a smart idea.

"A billionaire got mad, bought your favourite social media site and ran it into the ground. A different billionaire got mad, bought the magazine site you liked to read on your lunchbreak and shut it down completely. "
This is something I've been meaning to write for some time, but I kept stopping myself time and again. The times we live in may seem especially challenging for those of us who identify themselves with their work (or the content they create). It may seem as if a machine has been set in motion that will deprive us of all of out work and financial stabiility. But hear me out - you are not your content. You are ... you, and no #AI in the world can change that.
> The #CSS#AnchorPositioning#API is a game-changer in #web#development because it lets you natively position elements relative to other elements, known as anchors. This API simplifies complex #layout requirements for many interface features like menus and submenus, tooltips, selects, labels, cards, settings dialogs, and many more.
Honestly, the #web is unusable without an adblocker and some form of “tweaks” app these days. Ads are one thing but all these cookie and newsletter banners and autoplay videos. I’m so happy when I find my results on pages like Wikipedia.. #frontend
Kitten now has a lovely new multi-page Settings screen and… drumroll… a new 🐢 interactive shell (REPL) for you to play with the running state of your Small Web site/app/place and debug your app, inspect/manipulate its database, etc.
I plan on recording demos of each of them tomorrow but you can play with them now.
And here’s a little tutorial to get you started with the shell:
PS. Since it’s not a common thing in ‘Big Web’ development, note that the Settings app is part of Kitten’s own internal web app that is available to all Small Web apps created using Kitten. So all those Small Web apps will be able to take advantage of data portability with backup/restore, Domain integration for managing your hosting account with your domain host, evergreen web, public-key encryption for e2ee peer-to-peer web apps (Small Web), etc.
