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.

Yes, mobile phones are convenient, but going old-school has its advantages, even in 2024.Ian Sherr (CNET)
The Biden/Harris administration has released a tool — a first-of-its-kind software in partnership with the Department of Energy and HHS — that connects families to solar energy through the HHS' Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program.
Those enrolled in the program can see significant electricity bill savings, aligned with the National Community Solar Partnership goal of 20% in average household savings — the equivalent of $370 yearly per household.

Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of decentralized blockchain Ethereum, has issued a warning to his fellow tech leaders against choosing a candidate purely based on whether they claim to be “pro-crypto.”
While he didn’t name any candidate specifically, his warning comes just one day after prominent venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz announced their support for Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
“In a blog post, Buterin said it’s more important to scrutinize a candidate’s broader policies to ensure they support cryptocurrency’s underlying goals, including internationalism and protection for private communications,” reports @Techcrunch. Here’s more.

With many people getting COVID from the summer surge, a reminder that the CDC's isolation guidelines are inadequate.
CDC shortened their isolation guidelines, not because of a change in the science, but in response to political pressure to keep people working even if they are sick.
Science shows most people are infectious for 10+ days; it's best to isolate until you test negative on multiple tests. If you can't stay home the whole time, wear an N95 mask to stop the virus spreading to others.
