Dearest DuckDuckGo,

Your market is privacy respecting, accurate web search. Integrating """ai""" (see: plagiarism machine, misinformation machine) into your platform undermines both of these core features for no reason other than to ride the hype train of a bubble until it pops.

Please fucking stop. Before I and half your userbase leave your search engine.

@a @julia Kagi. I switched recently. Loving it.

I started rereading The Hitchhiker’s Guide to The Galaxy on a whim a few days ago. I’ve read it many times, but for some reason this reread is particularly enjoyable.

Recommended.

The piano track on that husky on a piano keyboard video is dubbed. It’s not what would come from a piano when the keys the dogs feet land on play.

Sorry.

64 #NewMusic releases dropped from bands I already have in my library just after midnight. https://mastodon.social/@ianRobinson/112532487632716548

10 minutes until the #NewMusucFriday drop happens in the UK.

Eoin Morgan’s cricket commentary on Sky Sports is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

Stop shouting man!

I hope this helps the Alliance candidate oust the DUP candidate in East Belfast 🙏🏻

Sentencing is on July 11th.

Even when he appeals any sentence will apply. Unless it goes to the courts to stay the sentence. Like Bannon got from a favourable judge.

Genuinely shocked.

Giggling like a schoolgirl, but still shocked.

@stuart Here. You’d like Geek Girl on Netflix I think. 😊

@ianRobinson@mastodon.social avatar

@stuart Boost it 😊

@ianRobinson@mastodon.social avatar

Yep. 👍🏻

Captures the essence of the book but is adapted subtly for the new medium.

Worth sending the cost of the 4K sub to Netflix for a month.

Recommended if you have Netflix.

Someone or some bot is still trying get access to services using the email address I used with TicketMaster. Including services I don’t use.

They’re also trying and failing to sign me up for various organisations and mailing lists.

I hope it’s wasting significant chunks of their time and/or computing resources. Because it’s not doing that for me.

Shortly after mentioning 1Password here, someone tried to get into my 1Password account.

ianRobinson, to random
@ianRobinson@mastodon.social avatar

It turns out I can create unlimited unique email addresses on the email service I host my domain. This means I can create a separate email address for every service I need a login for. So when they get breached, I don't have to worry about my email address being harvested and used for annoying spam signups.

I'll do that over time. Using random names for the name part of the email address.

ianRobinson,
@ianRobinson@mastodon.social avatar

@sdarlington I’ll store them all in 1Password. Given I don't know the passwords as they are there already, it won't add any burden.

What was tedious about it?

Can anyone recommend a good (UK) domain name host with email forwarding? I’ve been with 123-reg for years but they just screwed all of their customers with their latest system “update”.

@tenjinuk Why not Hover? Or failing that Hostek? https://hostek.co.uk

Journalist @realjuddlegum is arguing on Threads that the app is actively suppressing the reach of accounts that post political content. Not posts but ACCOUNTS: https://www.threads.net/@realjuddlegum/post/C7jbkvlsw-t

I can't think of a better reason to migrate from Threads over to .

There is no shadow banning here nor algorithmic shenanigans. Plus Mastodon has much much better features (lists, hashtags, 3rd party apps).

The only thing Threads has going for it is the number of users. I just wish they'd all move here

@_elena @realjuddlegum What is the response when you suggest that?
