Created this after reading conversation in comments below some tech article somewhere. Someone mentioned "surfing the #internet sewer" and I really liked that phrase.

Anybody who tells you the top results on Google correspond to quality is trying to sell you something. Literally.

Listen to this episode, good review of GPT-4o and Google I/O , with a good conversation about the dramatic impact it could have when Google starts integrating AI into it's search and how that could potentially destroy or at least diminish ad-revenue on the worldwideweb. People underestimate the possible impact and Google is not honest about it.

Bei ADHS (ADS) handelt es sich meiner Meinung nach nicht um eine Krankheit.

Viele Mediziner sehen das anders.

Bin selbst betroffen und sehe das folgendermaßen:

ADHS muss und kann nicht geheilt werden.

Viele von uns leiden und brauchen Unterstützung und Behandlung - Teilweise mit Medikamenten (mit denen ich gute Erfahrngen gemacht habe).

Das allwichtigste ist jedoch, dass die bekackte Diskriminierung aufhört.

Ich fühl mich mit dem Begriff Behinderung da wohler, manchmal mit Neurodiversität.

Apple pulls the controversial "Crush" ad and apologizes.

"The ad, posted on social media Tuesday by Apple CEO Tim Cook, was met with backlash from internet users who felt that the ad celebrated technology’s destruction of human creativity and art."

I'm starting to find ads even more irritating lately.

What's up with sites that take work funded by the public and putting ads over it? One site I looked at wouldn't even load a NASA video with an ad-blocker on, because of the pre-roll ad.

Or, what about when you watch a trailer for a movie, which itself is an ad, really, but first you have to watch another ad. What's up with that?

This is pretty amazing! People are taking my WordPress plugin that lets you warn site visitors if they don't have an ad-blocking browser plugin installed, and making versions of the project for non-WordPress sites.

Also, the plugin is now active on 70+ sites, according to WordPress plugin directory stats. 💪
