The top ~50 Google searches are people typing in websites without the .net or .com because they can't remember the full domain name. (Including "google" which is hilarious.)

Is this a sad reflection on society, or proof that we need a more advanced search engine that actually answers questions rather than simply serving up promoted links and SEO-optimized clickbait.

I'm tentatively excited about this rumored ChatGPT search engine, even if I still have reservations about the future of AI.

@s31bz Hey, isn’t that basically the storyline for 3 Body Problem? Lol

The more I think about it, I realize I just want to see Google/Alphabet taken down a few pegs. But the more I think about that, I realize the inevitability of whatever does take down Google eventually becoming another soulless megacorp hell-bent on profits above anything else.

Sigh

I’m gonna go outside.

The hoops through which I need to jump to sign into my addons mozilla.org account in Thunderbird are UNREAL.

  • Need ThunderWebTabs
  • Need to open the addons page in thunderbird
  • Then need to copy the sign in LINK and not click it
  • Then I need to open that link VIA THUNDERWEBTABS

And only THEN does Thunderbird allow me to be signed into the extensions site.

@killyourfm you still at the Moz?

@root Yep, but please tag @thunderbird as I'm on vacation for the next week+.

I don’t always share food photos, but when I do, it’s because an ingredient came from my . In this case, two! The rocky arugula and the cilantro, which both added a delicious little kick to the tacos.

Soon, those tomatoes will be from the garden too (and the tortillas will be homemade).

Side note: I’m AMAZED at the difference between store-bought vs home grown cilantro and arugula.

Achievement unlocked yesterday: First 20-mile (32km) ride... EVER! Got to feast my eyes on beautiful orchards and farmland, Bear Creek, and Black Rascal creek.

This ride felt like tangible proof that my decision to ditch alcohol and eat healthier (more cooking from scratch, less ultra processed foods) is paying off.

Life is good.

@nfilipes Thanks for the encouragement! And yea, we have to allow ourselves the occasional guilty pleasure.

Speaking of energy, YES. The last few years I had been taking afternoon naps probably 3 or 4 times per week. Now I’m bursting with energy all day, even if I get a bit less sleep than usual. I love it!

Break's over. The music is calling, so it’s time to get back to work. This is a song-in-progress called “Fool Me Once.”

Getting back on the bike before the weather hits triple digits in the Central Valley. I rode over to Lake Yosemite, ate lunch at the waterfront, and reflected on life. Today is a good day.

A bicycle parked on a grassy area by a lake, with a row of trees on the right and ducks on the water in the background.

It's starting to look like I will no longer be employed over the next couple of weeks. I would love to find something in WordPress, Linux, Open Source, Security, etc. Junior roles are okay. Like I mentioned a week or two back, I just want to get back into some work that makes me happy. My current role is stressful, pays terribly, and with the possibility of losing it over the next couple of weeks, my anxiety is going through the roof. Thanks for any help you give. ❤️

@cmccullough Kudos for chasing some level of happiness and satisfaction in your work. Boosting for visibility. Good luck Chad!

Helldivers 2 is the perfect model for a live-service game. The progression is brisk -- you can unlock multiple rewards after almost every session -- the cosmetics and premium battle passes can be earned quickly just by playing, and it definitely doesn't hurt that the game itself is an absolute blast.

If you haven't checked it out, is basically a 3rd person Left 4 Dead meets Halo with a Starship Troopers vibe.

AND PEOPLE ACTUALLY PLAY THE OBJECTIVE!

I absolutely love it.

@jnv If you love Halo — and especially love Firefight mode — I think you’ll really enjoy this.

@svenjacobs @EccTM @ProfessorCode That's nice to see. Now, I hope the 10s of 1000s of people who rallied together to review bomb the game update their scores so more people jump in.
