and a terrible pub

my lethal weapon is my WP:WTF

yeah, "Did you know" exists to encourage new articles, or major expansions of old ones. it cycles every six hours I think.

the post history is very infosec dot pub

Wikipedia rules make more sense when you understand they are entirely to keep the most pedantic nerds on earth from fighting

This is specifically about the current shitty "AI Overview" that is currently and specifically pissing people off and Google essaying that as the only interface to search. (Sure they might not, but OTOH predicting future behaviour from past behaviour.)

video version, double episode!!

yeah that's the tell

what if, right, we made a search engine so good it became the verb for searching, and then we replaced it with a robot with a concussion

oh yeah loved that format, perfect

however, Better Offline makes money
