Hey @kagi.com dunno if you saw my friend's issue below but I would also appreciate some sort of response. Been paying/boosting for years and hope this is just an unfortunate bug with really bad optics, but other engines disabling the opt-out for AI results was what originally drove many your way

"it works for me!" well, it doesn't for me.

Been fascinating on Linux explicitly seeing which apps/sites want to block sleep. It's always the usual suspects who want to be the Main Character of your online experience who are like, "No, your PC shan't snooze - power savings be damned, you might miss kernels of wisdom from mine servers!"

Oh wow, so it turns out Susan Collins's Tactical Brow Furrowing had its limitations? :o Too bad, get out, and hey, don't bother hitting up Old Port to soften up your loss, even Three Dollar Deweys ain't got spare popcorn for you

Completely tangential to all the other news tonight but I think this is the first Spookyseason where I haven't heard Zombie used as a SpookySong 🎉

Been a paying customer for a few years now, zero regrets. No search engine's perfect, but getting actual search results rather than auto-AI fever dreams and usage-tracking ads/monetization has been game changing. (Plus, being able to block all Pinterest results was itself worth price of admission)

It has been out for literally a week. What in the gribbly fuck is this framing, "Oh no, it's their second lowest grossing film!" The theater I was in yesterday was full. Is this same framing gonna be given to the next Avengers, "Oh no, it only made $15!" immediately after the first ticket sale?

LAIKA’s ‘Wildwood’ has crossed $35M globally against a budget of $100M. It surpasses the studio’s ‘Missing Link’ and becomes their second lowest grossing film.

talking to @roho.kittyfox.social on voice while we play Minecraft, and my Echo thought me saying "access tunnel" was "alexa struggle". My full reply was actually, "Alexa shut the fuck up, fucking hell I wasn't talking to you", but I guess it didn't listen that far.

Happy Halloween! [dies at the end, becomes loud ghost]

Spotted coming out from Wildwood @orona.red

Just got out of Wildwood. Absolutely magnificent, one of those movies I left just feeling grateful someone was determined to make it. Exactly what was needed after the earlier events of the week

I was worried this Tumblr anecdote was made up internet crap so just to make sure a few years ago I hunted it down and yep, all true

My timeline is currently about 80% Patrick Stewart. In an effort to bump that percentage just a bit higher, please enjoy this RSC alumnus as Gurney Halleck in Lynch's Dune (1984), holding a pug as he leads the battle charge

Said goodbye to our old lady cat this morning after a rapid decline. Don't know exactly how old she was, she was a feral catch-and-spay that we adopted so probably at least 15. We gave her 13 years of getting spoiled rotten and she gave us 13 years of love, brattiness, and carefully-placed hairballs

I tried to think of more eloquent ways to put this but there really isn't one. The transphobic DCCC attack ads fully endorse and embrace the latest desperate fash culture-war talking points, and they do so with all the dignity and grace of a labrador puppy rolling over and pissing on its own belly.

Oh my fucking god, I needed to open a Meta container tab to do something in WhatsApp. And clicked on the 'settings'-looking icon. Oop - hahaha, that's actually the Meta AI icon now, guess you want to use our AI :D Nothing says 'the future' like bullying and tricking all users into it

Tonight's counterstroke against the veggie onslaught - a giant batch of vegetarian chili (peppers, onion, carrots, rutabaga, eggplant, RG beans, Penzeys chilis) and a first attempt at fermented kohlrabi stick pickles.

Jail. Seriously, that's the current location of the last guy who thought this was a good idea. FTX did a run of these back around 2022.

Bsky users for years: You can just use your words and link things here. This isn't tiktok, you don't have to say '0n1yfanz' and 'p4tr30n' or 'unalive'. It will actually help with searching and tagging! Bsky staff: 😏

You show up at my door? You're getting candy. Primarily for the most excellent reason below, and pragmatically because I've never not had leftovers. Which I, not a trick-or-treating child, will eat. So it comes down to preemptively hoarding or sharing leftovers, and candy is there to be shared.

Let them have the damn candy

Hokay, that's all my personal PHP-based containers patched

Yes but this comment on Dylan Hollis's Harvey Wallbanger Cake

So this likely isn't equally applicable to everyone, but since signing up for the weekly veggie farm share I've learned: * Your parents can tell you to eat your veg * Your doctor can tell you to eat your veg * But nothing will get you to eat your veg like a firehose of veg directed at your kitchen
