@clive@ernie Also interesting to note: the web search interface is much more responsive with udm14; the latest web interface has been very vey slow on my iPhone 13 Safari, which makes no sense hardware wise. My gut feeling is Google intentionally did this to force people into their search app.
Man, in any sane universe the mayor would understand that well funded libraries and strong social services are what help to prevent crime in the first place
@clive I am very much pro-e-bike and use them myself (cycled "acoustically" for years before I got osteoarthritis in the knees).
My concern is that car-centrists have looked at California's e-bike definitions and created what is essentially an electric Vespa without the regulations & training a Vespa driver would be subject to.
This stokes ire against cyclists & increases crackdowns on all e-cycle riders instead of drivers.

@clive Google can end this "trick" at any time. Of course most people won't even know about it, so these "tricks" help it to perpetuate, but if you really think Google intends to keep it this easy to evade their AI, there's a bridge in Brooklyn you might consider buying.

As I behold "Crush!", the new Apple ad for their Ipad Pro ...
... I fluctuate, with heisenbergian indeterminacy, between "they are clearly trolling us" and "they are totally earnest and have no idea how completely sociopathic they appear"
Crushing things seems like a different energy, from say ..
"For years, he [Steve Jobs] arranged for a Buddhist monk by the name of Kobun Chino Otogawa to meet with him once a week at his office to counsel him on how to balance his spiritual sense with his business goals."
