Heh, wouldn't they get a shock if everybody did though

We members of the Bradley Taunt 1Mb club not only have simple but effective web sites but I think they print pretty well too. Mine renders nicely as PDF, ePub and Dead Tree. It's important to be able to preserve them as offline media because increased protection of allegedly at-risk user groups makes them liable to disappear at short notice.

Or it could be new, improved AI that's appearing not to be AI by sounding more human...

Personally, I put a lot of effort into writing my blog posts, some of which have been really well viewed by humans. While mine is effectively a "hobbyist" site, it's nice when readers look at other blog posts as a result of reading the original one. Google's approach ensures that readers get a very narrow view of my content, so everybody expect Google loses out.

Oh I see .. they're actually taking Bill's email as a blueprint for how Windows should operate! That explains the mess we're in today (but laughs in Debian).

"Physicia, heal thyself", or , "AI, what are the possible solutions to the chip shortages caused by AI?"

Has anyone asked this?

Completely wrong of course, but my theory is that the systems contacted each other and agreed to have an outage - just to show that they could.

This, unfortunately, is the biggest problem those of us care about privacy face, especially when trying to warn people about it.

TUIs are great and I shall continue to write and use them while I can still see a screen! My use case is to mainly use Termux on my ruggedised Android tablet, simply because I can't install a native Linux on it. I like the speed and efficiency of a TUI as well as the fact that I can maintain it with vi or nano. I've installed XFCE4 on it for fun but the extra, necessary library baggage isn't really worth it, TBH. It also means I can use the same stuff on my Onion Omega 2 SBC with minimal tweaking.

At least it wasn't the 1936 Berlin Olympics stadium...

Sigh .. same here. I don't write blog posts often (enough) but the ones I do write are from personal experiences and I take a lot of care with them. I look at my logs snd see bots everywhere, but now I just let them get on with it. AI scrapers are different though; they get to read my content which, just for them contains a smsttering of finest digital toxin. A pox on your datasets!

Agreed, and chances are that due to the nature of the event bring reported, we as readers are unable to influence it in sny way. Therefore a couple of weeks delay will make mo difference.

The apparent need by the Media to keep issuing constant updates and then suddenly having to retract the story is very frustrating. Each "update" is usually slighly incremental and is invariably a short new paragraph tacked into the previous version. The final version of the story being covered is often a mea culpa retraction because earlier versions were rushed and inaccurate. I'm trying very hard to escape this destructive cycle but it's not easy.

I have to say that if we're also talking about wild grasses, my wire fox terrier is also a pollinator. He collects an incredible amount of seeds and burrs during his walkies investigations and I have to pick them out of his fur afterwards (risky because he gets annoyed easily).

Very interesting and watchable. Do you differentiate between wars and "conflicts"? There's so many of the latter and everyone seems to avoid the term "war".
