These AI SEO spam operations have used lists of common searches to ensure that their pages come up first in searches in the “long fat tail” the kind of search where it used to be about 50/50 if you’d find a page addressing your needs. But, it used to be if you found something like “The top 15 smallest ants in the world” it wouldn’t be nonsense. It’d either exist and be the work of another person who cared OR you found nothing. Not so now! I can’t possibly over-stress how bad this is! 1/

I am not surprised that this is why so many people tried Mastodon and left.
I got lectured by newbies and Iʼve been here since 2017. The difference was I knew they were wrong and scrolled past.

Great to know #Chicago has all these electric car charging points!
Oh, wait, it’s had, not has. This was 1916.

My mate Hasan managed to get word out today. Thank you all for contributing last year. Things are getting more dire. He and his whānau are in a camp in Rafah after his place was bombed, and Rafah isnʼt exactly safe. No power and water, but they are alive. Iʼll post more when I can. For now, hereʼs a link if you can help him out:

Had to check in to OnlyKlans as a mate messaged me there. Had three notifications, from three racists who had tagged me to some anti-Chinese stuff. Anti-CCP I can understand, but this was about the whole Han race.
Therein lies Elonʼs core. Iʼm surprised to still find anyone I like on there, but many are still present. It should be treated like a fringe noticeboard but so many continue to patronize it. Enjoy the company, folks.

With the suspension of Mastodon.social at Mastodon.nz, @byroncclark lost 1,000 connections, double what I lost. Please pop over and reconnect if you were affected.

No, #USAToday. Iʼm not using an #ad blocker. You are. I only block trackers. If your ad tech is so terrible that you would rather do yourself out of money when you canʼt plant trackers, then Iʼm not the one harming your revenues. Same goes for a lot of other publications. Media, support yourselves by turning off your ad blockers, and stop blaming your readers for your own bad decisions. #advertising #media #adtech

Is calling out racism, prejudice and rudeness now ‘trolling’? If you think it is, and you need to block users or delete evidence because of overwhelming cowardice, then maybe running online communities isn’t your thing.

Surprise! #Hotbot is still alive. The results don’t appear to be Bing or Google, either. Anyone know the background here?

Anyone need an art director or senior designer with extensive experience in publications and typography? Or an expert witness in trade marks? One of my gigs is on hold this month. Happy for the new gig to last more than a month though.

In this #NZCLW let’s remember the actual surname of Leslie Charteris (creator of the Saint) was 殷. This was sometimes romanized under Wade–Giles to Yan but no relation to me. Leslie’s father used Yin. #TheSaint #LeslieCharteris #heritage #whakapapa

If you think most of these fonts typified the 1990s, then you weren’t around in the 1990s. #typography #typeface

The radio signals we broadcast are escaping into outer space, creating a radio layer, that's ever expanding at the speed of light.

Meaning, some alien somewhere somewhen is watching our TV.
