: "Ostrom described how commons can be wisely managed, over very long timescales, by communities that self-governed. Part of her work concerns how users of a commons must have the ability to exclude bad actors from their shared resources.

When that breaks down, commons can fail – because there's always someone who thinks it's fine to shit in the well rather than walk 100 yards to the outhouse.

Enshittification is the process by which control over the internet moved from self-governance by members of the commons to acts of wanton destruction committed by despicable, greedy assholes who shit in the well over and over again.

It's not just the spammers who take advantage of Google's lazy incompetence, either. Take "copyleft trolls," who post images using outdated Creative Commons licenses that allow them to terminate the CC license if a user makes minor errors in attributing the images they use:" https://pluralistic.net/2024/05/09/shitting-in-the-well/#advon

"Consumer AI is just the new search" anecdote: [1/3]

Casual non-techy coworkers yesterday were talking about using excel reports to analyze data & turns out two of the people use to know how to do something in excel.

So, before this stuff, if you were like, "how do I do X in Excel" in google, you'd get a bunch of hits and then have to wade through the results to see which link was actually what you were looking for, then test out if their solution works.

"Consumer AI is just the new search" anecdote: [3/3]

There are over 1 billion websites with over 30 billion web pages out there on the internet and regular search absolutely sucks now. It's no wonder normies are seeing as magic when it can take 30 billion+ results and give you one answer that's most likely what you are looking for.

Search 3.0

And whoever wins will be the new Google.

I made some comments on a Palestina demonstration video on youtube, but they got deleted/hidden.. video uploader says they didn't do it. Other people also complain of their comments being gone..

Does Google delete pro-Palestinian comments? The pro Zionist ones are still up 😠 Would love to hear if other Youtube users recognize this! Kind of a big thing if true imho..

ps. my comments didn't include any "bad language" whatsoever! It was in a normal conversation..

simon, to accessibility

So I finally contacted Google disability support about the degrading accessibility of the youTube app for iOS. I'm fairly sure I was sent there from the youTube help site. I summarized a lot of the issues I and other Voiceover users have been having with the iOS app, particularly the hellish clutter of search results and recommended videos. The response I got today directed me to write to YouTube premium support, but the page they linked to is only for help with one-time purchases or ongoing subscriptions. As an alternative, I was told to post in the community. There was no acknowledgement of the issues and no offer to pass it along. It very clearly said "You've reached the wrong place."
My interpretation of this e-mail is simple: Google disability support can't file feedback about youTube. If there is a way to do so and reach an accessibility-aware person, I have not found it.
The youTube iOS app has now degraded to the point where it's painful to use. I think this is a good nudge to move the podcast feed generator in-house (literally) and start listening to videos in Overcast. It'll also make me less unfocused and dependent on the algorithm.

You cannot visit a page from a browser without LinkedIn creating an account based on the account info that you're logged in with on that Chrome browser, even if you cancel the account creation process that LinkedIn automatically starts.

Because you didn't actually create that account, you cannot delete it. You have to complete the signup process just so you can then proceed to delete it.

Does no one at challenge this kind of implementation?

Me fascina que avise de que los episodios de ya están disponibles ahí cuando, al estar en proceso de cierre esa plataforma, no se encuentra dicho podcast al buscarlo.
Tampoco permite vincular la fuente RSS para que exista la misma experiencia ahí que en . Debería, pero su email de verificación nunca llega.

de momento se queda sin las últimas entrevistas.

Ever since I quit Google I've stopped receiving junk emails, used to come about 10 a day and would end up in promotions folder, or updates, or socials, which google created. Now, I get nothing. Only newsletters, some of which are industry related so I don't mind them.

When you think of the various features of online media -- and how they've had a hand in deforming the information landscape ...

Affiliate links

They're a key propellant in the modern eruption of AI-authored, grey-goo "product reviews"

Reading ’s anti policy is a masterclass in cognitive dissonance.

Tip: Ignore the premise that they are actually combating each behaviour, and use it instead like a handy Google Search Bingo Card.

It make using search fun.
