Überlegungen zum #FahrradFreitag
Jetzt könnte man sagen, es kollidieren Interessen im August - die #CMKoeln vs. @SheDrivesMobility
Ob die #FahrradbubbleKöln eine Begegnung der beiden Veranstaltungen hinbekommt? Vielleicht radelt die #cmcologne ja gegen 18.15h über die Universitätsstraße, dumdidum. Und #katjadiehl, @kidicalmasskoeln und @radkomm holen gerade nochmals etwas frische Luft am #AlbertusMagnus -Denkmal, dumdidum.
@fahrradkoeln, wie steht's?
Katja, wäre das möglich?

The sheer horror with which the reporter mentioned having to use a pen is just sad, not extraordinary.
Reports suggest that Sky News has also been affected, leaving many to beg Microsoft to not fix the outage.
NBN users in Australia have yet to notice the outage, thinking it is just the NBN running at normal speed.

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

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.
Killed by Google
Killed by Google is the open source list of dead Google products, services, and devices. It serves as a tribute and memorial of beloved services and products killed by Google.Killed by Google
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.
