We are pleased to be one of the many projects supported by the EU's NGI programmes, with NLnet's contribution.
Open, decentralized solutions are essential for user freedom on the Internet and for the resilience of our services. What would happen if one of these centralized services were blocked tomorrow?
The NGI programmes are a strength, let's hope they continue: pad.public.cat/lettre-NCP-NGI

We are aware that some battlemech pilots engage in so-called "dance-offs" in their spare time. We have allowed this as harmless fun.
However, after seeing the viral clip of Jaeger-845D and Jaeger-922H do the tango we must make a public statement:

One of the most prominent nazis in America boasting that his fellow travelers are in JD Vance's social circles. He's absolutely correct.
Vance’s veep nomination makes it obvious that what was once called the “alt-right” has taken over the Republican party.
This group of reactionaries is far more intelligent and far more extreme than any previous Republican influx group like the Tea Party.
We're in dangerous times.
If you're mad about Google killing short links all over the Internet, and are saying things like "let's scrape it all before it goes down", I suggest checking out wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php…. Some chaotic good people are well ahead of you in terms of planning, and have a VM image you can run to lend some compute and bandwidth to the effort. It's like SETI of old, but for praxis against internet vandals like Google.

Už jsem vám tady psala, že náš dům je trošku zvláštní, že?
Tak občas vypadá, jako něco extra. 😁😁
Taky má obrovskou půdu, dělenou přepážkami na dvě poloviny. Jedna půlka je v pohodě, na druhé se necítíte moc dobře. 😁😁 Je tmavší. Dcery národa se tam bojí a nechce se jim tam chodit věšet prádlo. Nepřispěl k tomu ani nález starého zrcadla, otočeného ke zdi. 😁😁😁
Taky se občas bojíte rádi?👻

Reply to Google Now Defaults to Not Indexing Your Content by Vincent Schmalbach
Selectivity is long overdue. Marginalia, Stract, and Teclis feel like a breath of fresh air for broad short-tail queries because they downrank or skip pages full of ads, trackers, scripts, and even SEO. However, Google’s selectivity can’t penalise such criteria as that would conflict with its ad business.
Google has a bias against new sites. This makes sense, given their spam potential. I disagree with your argument that a bias against new sites is a pivot away from Experience, Expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness (EEAT): it takes time for a website to become an authority and earn trust. If delayed indexing of new sites is wrong, then the problem lies with EEAT. I argue that EEAT is a good framework for an answer-focused engine, but a bad framework for a discovery- or surfing-focused engine like Marginalia or Wiby, respectively.

"Today, the time has come to turn off the serving portion of Google URL Shortener."
No, you absolute shitheads, it's not just "the time." There's no immutable reason here other than your own disgraceful attention span.
If you create a link-shortening service, you owe it to the Internet not to just turn it off after a mere decade; even more so if you purport to have a mission "to organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful."
"Well it's your fault for relying on..." ..on what, on one of the largest, richest companies ever to exist?
On the company that publishes that it is "Committed to significantly improving the lives of as many people as possible"?
On a company that is so synonymous with the internet that it's a verb and it has its own TLD?

But yes, actually.
Google has shown over and over and over again that it simply cannot be trusted to build things that it will maintain.
There's a whole site devoted to things they've scrapped.
It's not just that Google gets rid of services. It's the collateral damage.
Example: The Google Domains shutdown has resulted in folks losing control of their domains to spammers and phishers.
Killing your products -- reasonable. Killing other people's work -- despicable.

What are some applications designed from the ground-up to be non-visual first? I am aware of emacspeak and speechd-el on the emacs side of things, and I’m aware of edbrowse (ed(1)
on steroids with textual browser capabilities to browse the web with a line-based editor).
Ideally applications that feel more like well-crafted computing environments that people can spend long periods of time in.
Jsem odvápňoval vnitřní střeva Geberitu - napouštěcí ventil.
A experimentálně jsem ověřil, že ten plast vodu 100˚C nevydrží 🤦
Na štěstí zrovna Geberit má ty náhradní díly i po 15 letech pořád stejný a dostupný, tak už jenom díky tomu se to tenkrát vyplatilo.
Ale zlobim se na sebe, taková blbost tyvole!
I once ran my own personal URL shortener but eventually killed it because it wasn't that useful, but I kept the links working, and in fact they still work _to this day_ because I converted them from a dynamic PHP web application to a little list of nginx URL redirects.
Google have comparatively infinite budget and can't figure out how to be a respectful web citizen.
