Apparently, so many people were leaving 1-star reviews for the “Gulf of America” on Google Maps that Google is blocking new reviews.

@selzero I was a lot more sanguine about this when I lived about five miles from a primary target.

Now I'm in the short-to-medium term survivor one, and I really don't want to live in the early aftermath of a #Skynet conflict.

I'm genuinely curious about Kagi search. @ludicity is the second writer/blogger/chastiser-of-naked-emperors whose opinion I trust that appears to sing Kagi’s praises.

Does anyone else have well-formed opinions on their usage of #Kagi? Its utility appears to be well-demonstrated, so I’m particularly interested from a perspective of #privacy, #security, and the odds that it won’t be #ruinedbyprivateequity

This is random, but the YouTube algorithm #BeEvil has gone totally bonkers on me. I think it thinks I am a mum living in Australia?

The #BorgSite is moribund.
It has been since the #QLoon bought it backed by the likes of MBS.
However, in so doing, it has been becoming less and less relevant.

The real battle to watch is the one the #BeEvil company and the #RottenApple are fighting to subjugate the #OpenWeb.
The former seems to be already in the roll-out process. Take a look at the linked long article. Horrifying.
