Who Broke the Internet?

julian @julian@community.nodebb.org

<p>Today I'm listening to <em>Who Broke the Internet?</em>, a four-part series by <a href="https://mamot.fr/@pluralistic">@<bdi>pluralistic@mamot.fr</bdi></a> on CBC's <em>Understood</em> podcast.</p> <blockquote> <p>Google Search was the gold standard — a product born in a dorm room during the internet’s early, idealistic era. But when internal emails surfaced they revealed a deeper conflict inside the company: was Google making Search worse, on purpose, to boost ad revenue? Google says its changes are all about benefiting users. Critics say it’s all part of a bigger pattern — one that host Cory Doctorow calls enshittification: the slow, deliberate decay of platforms in the name of profit.</p> </blockquote> <p>Have you noticed internet search has become next to useless? It's like the arms-race between search and spam is ramping up, and not in a good way. Cory lays out the foundation that it isn't that simple, and that the degradation of search was brought on internally.</p> <p><a href="https://www.cbc.ca/listen/cbc-podcasts/1353-the-naked-emperor/episode/16144078-dont-be-evil" rel="nofollow ugc">Check it out here</a> or wherever you get your podcasts!</p>

Four years ago I went back to college to finish my degree after a two decade break. There was a lot of days like this writing papers and posts on my iPad during every available break and downtime. Tomorrow I do a “grad walk” and close out that portion of my life. My wife, kids, sibling, and parents will all be there. In a world that’s not so great right now, this is an amazingly bright spot for me and my family.

An iPad is propped up on a keyboard, displaying text and articles. The iPad screen shows a discussion post on the left and an article from Smithsonian on the right.

You've probably seen me talk about nominating people for PSF Fellow Membership a bunch in the last year (e.g. jonafato.com/2024/10/31/psf-fe). My post today is to remind you that the next due date for nominations is during PyCon US next month (python.org/psf/fellows/#:~:tex)! This is a great opportunity to use some of that conference energy to nominate folks you see doing the kind of work that advances the mission of the PSF.

오늘도 병원 다녀오고, 약먹고 근육 풀리는 상태로, 세상 편한 상태로 비소리 들으면서 앉아있는데... 그래서 세상에서 가장 편한 머리 상태로 고민을 좀 해봤는데... 이번 소일장은 그냥 넘어가려고한다. 이렇게 몸이 편한게 얼마만인지 모르겠다. 기차를 타고싶다. 기차를 타고 바다를 보러가고싶다. 실제 가지는 못하겠지만 그런 기분이다. 달리 말하면, 편하게 쉬고 싶고, 실제 편하게 쉴 수 있는 상태가 되었다. 이게 근 몇년 만인지 모르겠다. 불안도, 번민도, 고뇌도, 고통도 없이 한주를 성실하게 보냈다는 만족감으로만 충만한...

師父:「受不了你,要能隨時變換想做的圖案下點跟比例,還需要熟記,雖然我自己聽到很高興啦。」

苦手だったものが、ある日いきなり「あ、今この瞬間に好きになったかも。今食べたいかも」って思って、食べてみたらやっぱり大好きになってたって経験が何度かある。そういう人いる?

ちなみに、生牡蠣、レーズン、ビール、イカの塩辛。
