  • Make them more intrusive
  • Add more adverts

  • Next step might be to add some ads to paid version?

To save reading the paywalled article, the site is at stract.com

I’ve only done a single search but it gave me a summary at the top, and some discussion forums in a different format. I’m impressed so far!

i_am_not_a_robot, to technology in Google Search is losing its 'cached' web page feature
@i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk avatar

I find this very useful to read paywalled articles that Google has managed to index!

OK, I see why they might want to get rid of it.

They won a by-election by opposing the ULEZ expansion, so now he thinks that reversing any policy which might upset car drivers is a general election winning policy.

@i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk avatar

There’s fedi-search.com and www.search-lemmy.com as well. I’m not sure if that latter one is still active though, it certainly appears to be down at the moment.

Somebody tried to steal a robot and was surprised that video footage from the robot was used as evidence?

i_am_not_a_robot, to til in TIL that there are two types of earwax: wet and dry
@i_am_not_a_robot@feddit.uk avatar

Apparently this is the one thing which is controlled by a single gene, and works as you were taught in school with dominant and recessive traits.

Nothing else does, including the things you were taught like eye and hair colour - they are much more complicated.
