Web Rings were freaking awesome. I've recently discovered the Small Web tool from Kagi and it's basically a modern version of a web ring. It's pretty slick. www.kagi.com/smallweb if you're interested.

Right??? Like it's 1995 all over again.

But is it? Because the amount of websites that aren't search engines but have insane levels of tracking and data collection are very high. Not all of it is for search ranking, IMO.

Nope, and as an Isles fan I hope JT is forever dashed in his dreams for a championship.

Correct and what I've seen from Jellyfin / Emby are poor looking at best. While I could cobble together a system that works for me, there's no way anyone I share with would put up with it. Plex is PLEX for a reason.

Same!!! I used to tell people that Siri was good at what it’s intended to do. Ask it to set a reminder or timer or ask a basic question and it’s good.

But then Alexa came along and changed the paradigm for what voice assistants could do and so the questions to Siri became more complex. And it fell over quickly.

Even today I asked it “does HomeKit support sprinkler systems?” And I got the dreaded “I can send you web results if you ask from your iPhone.”

Completely useless.

💯 The best way it was described to me was “it’s a parlor trick.” And I’ve started to use that phrasing ever since.

Boiling the planet just for this... thing. Freaking awful.

Right? Instead of "I can show you some web results on your phone" every time it's now "Would you like to ask ChatGPT?" every time. Barf.

LOL. Musk WISHES he had even 1% of the design skills as Giorgetto Giugiaro. One car is a classic, the other is a "I have a small dick and want to marry Elon" statement.

Got mine late last night. I do have a Target order that didn't get canceled, but I'm trying to figure out if I should hedge my bets by getting one from the invite.
