There’s no such thing as Antifa, you eejits
Sabrina Haake,  Columnist  -  Daily Kos

_Stephan: I keep hearing about aspiring dictator Trump and his vampire vassals talking about how Antifa is a terrorist organization, bnut when I do a Google search on “antifa” or “antifa website,” nothing comes up. Nor have I ever met anyone associated with such an organization. So I began asking around, and soon realized that there is no Antifa. As far as I can see , and this article confirm this, t … ⌘ Read more

Google changes how ads in Search are shown, and surprisingly it doesn’t make things worse

From Shell Scripts to Science Agents: How AI Agents Are Transforming Research Workflows
It’s 2 AM in a lab somewhere. A researcher has three terminals open, a half-written Jupyter notebook on one screen, an Excel sheet filled with sample IDs on another, and a half-eaten snack next to shell commands. They’re juggling scripts to run a protein folding model, parsing CSVs from the last experiment, searching for literature,… ⌘ Read more

Drawn based on a quick doodle, the canine returns victorious, from the battle of Hot Topic bargain bin, as smug as can be.
Whoever will be the first to inform him, the spikes aren’t real gold and it’s most likely not even leather, meaning it’s not what he’s really been searching the universe for, better prepare themselves, to be jumped on, bitten and shredded by claws.

In-reply-to » https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1935344122103308748.html Interesting article on how ChatGPT is rotting your brain 🤣

About ChatGPT rotting people’s brains, similarly could be said about search engines, and reference books. Oh, also doom scrolling, and mobile devices, and the Internet… :-P

“I use zip bombs to protect my server”
The majority of the traffic on the web is from bots. For the most part, these bots are used to discover new content. These are RSS Feed readers, search engines crawling your content, or nowadays AI bots crawling content to power LLMs. But then there are the malicious bots. These are from spammers, content scrapers or hackers. At my old employer, a bot discovered a wordpress vulnerability and inserted a malicious script into our server. It then turned the m … ⌘ Read more

In-reply-to » We havet an AI assistant at work, new version came out today "nearby restaurant recommendations" mentioned. Gotta try that!

@thecanine@twtxt.net Yeah this is where I think all the hype really falls down. It’s all just a really really expensive search engine and auto-complete 🤦‍♂️ That’s it!

Oddly, in defense of Google keeping Chrome
As much as I’m a fan of breaking up Google, I’m not entirely sure carving Chrome out of Google without a further plan for what happens to the browser is a great idea. I mean, Google is bad, but but things could be so, so much worse. OpenAI would be interested in buying Google’s Chrome if antitrust enforcers are successful in forcing the Alphabet unit to sell the popular web browser as part of a bid to restore competition in search, an OpenAI execu … ⌘ Read more

Hmmm there’s a bug somewhere in the way I’m ingesting archived feeds 🤔

sqlite> select * from twts where content like 'The web is such garbage these days%';
      hash = 37sjhla
  feed_url = https://twtxt.net/user/prologic/twtxt.txt/1
   content = The web is such garbage these days 😔 Or is it the garbage search engines? 🤔

In-reply-to » I asked ChatGPT what it knows about Twtxt 😂 And surprisingly it's rather accurate:

Timeline of Evolution of Twtxt/Yarn.social:

  • 2016 – Twtxt created by John Downey: plain text + HTTP = minimalist microblogging
  • 2017–2019 – Community builds CLI tools, but adoption remains niche
  • 2020 – Yarn.social launched by @prologic@twtxt.net with federation, threading, UI
  • 2021–2023 – Pods sync, user mentions, blocking, search, and media support added
  • 2024+ – Yarn.social becomes the reference Twtxt platform, with active federated pods

Windows Recall returns, and its companion feature does not keep data on-device
Remember Windows Recall, the Windows feature that would take a screenshot of your desktop every three seconds, stored them in a database, and then let you search through them at later dates? The feature has been hobbled by implementation problems, security issues, and privacy troubles, and has been released in preview and pulled since its original unveiling. Well, it’s back in … ⌘ Read more

In-reply-to » @prologic give it some time. Twtxt is very asynchronous, and travels at the speed of mules. It might take a while to reach the intended destination. 😅

Anyway. this was a good use for search btw. I couldn’t find my Twt, so I just quickly searched for it, snap, bingo I found it in a snap! 🫰

@prologic@twtxt.net, from IRC:

  1. Saving preferences is failing. Specifically trying to save “Open Links” on the same window. For sure it isn’t happening. Check errors on browser’s console.
  2. Search results pagination is broken. Search for “twtxt.net” and see it. Also, picking oldest/newest makes no difference on that search query.
