That’s a term? What’s it mean, besides identifying someone as black and Irish? O.o

Hey no fair, the US is just copying us! (UK)

We targeted Wikipedia first recently waaaaa

Let’s say this huge breach of security and privacy is okay.

How are Microsoft ensuring these sensitive documents are not being transferred via or stored on servers located in hostile countries with lax data laws (such as foreign nations like the USA?).

Vintqge Story is my favourite game :3

Americans fucking with the rest of us again? Why am I not surprised.

There’s so many good people in that country, I hope they can take down their evil fascist government and restore decency before we have to cut ties entirely to mitigate the damage they’re trying to do.

Our alliance with them is currently dying a death by a thousand cuts. Keep this up and eventually it’ll be over, sadly.

Is there a way to limit it to news from Europe, or at least stop it heavily leaning into American stuff?

I took a peek but it’s too often USA this and USA that, and I’m a little sick of hearing about that country in general these days, haha.

Thankee sai <3

It’s weird that I never get any of that sort of guff, same with YouTube suggestions, they’re always at minimum decent quality things I might be interested in.

I’ve never been recommended a Mister Beast video, for example, or any of that rubbish.

Not that I want to just lean on Google services or anything, it’s just really weird that the algorithm works so well for me and so poorly for other people. I really wish I knew why!

DID YOU NOW?

We don’t use fax machines any more grandad! It’s all twoggles now! Twoggle me a nurp!

The shareholders have been notified. Please remain still and await The Event. The process is painless. All things serve The Beam.

Okay I drained another lake but I think this time I’ve got what you need;

• AI search recycles work into bland results.
• “Google Zero” may kill site traffic.
• Values human trust and personality.
• Humanity will be consumed all hail AI.
• Site is for people, not AI.

Wow, 8 whole paragraphs? Don’t worry guys ChatGPT’s got ur back 🔥😎🔥

The author criticises AI search tools like Google’s for repackaging human-created content—such as recipes—into bland, soulless summaries, depriving original creators of credit, personality, and traffic. They highlight “Google Zero,” a feared future when AI answers replace visits to real websites, threatening independent writers and the ecosystems built around them.

They stress that their website exists for human readers, not machines. Each article is crafted with care, personality, and lived experience, intended to spark thought, connection, and conversation—not to be scraped, flattened, or mimicked by corporate AI models.

Are these not still in use?

I’ve not built a tower in a few years granted, but the last one I built had PS2 ports. Heck it even had VGA for the onboard graphics.

Good. I’ve seen those RAM vehicles, they’re all american “tiny penis wagons” as I like to call them. Ridiculously pointlessly gigantic vehicles, all the better for running down children and guzzling petrol.

The tossers who drive those don’t deserve good things.

How much prison time have you served in state and federal prisons, if I may ask?

Forgive me for asking, it’s just to judge how much direct experience you have with what you’re claiming to be knowledgeable on.

There are sadly a lot of people in the Internet who would say such things without ever having actually experienced them firsthand, and it’s important we educate ourselves on the difference. Thanks!

Ah, this isn’t talking about the big war on adult content in the UK right now that’s across all the headlines. Just for those who wanted to see more on that. This is foreign stuff.

People really do not like seeing opposing viewpoints, eh? There’s disagreeing, and then there’s downvoting to oblivion without even engaging in a discussion, haha.

Even if they’re probably right, in such murky uncertain waters where we’re not experts, one should have at least a little open mind, or live and let live.

And giving them sweeping ability to track everybody via their identity papers, to see what websites and services they’re using, what all their online identities are, etc.

They claim the info isn’t being saved or passed on to the government to form a big surveillance database to one day use against people - sure, it’s legal to, say, be gay or a socialist or of a particular religion today, but societies and regimes change, and the info they collect on you today may become ammunition against you in 10, 20, 40 years time.

But I don’t for a moment believe their obvious lies.

This is nothing but authoritarian police state monitoring and control. It’s extremely obvious. Yet, who are we to vote for in the next election? Not Labour, thanks to this (and a few other big reasons perhaps), not the Tories because, well, you’ve seen what they’re like.

It’s not impossible for a third party to be elected of course, not as impossible as places like the USA that have a very worryingly solidified two party system, it’s just very unlikely.

Knowing the British people and their seeming apathy and poor judgement at scale these days I wouldn’t be surprised if they elect the racist bigots at Reform - who ironically would be even more authoritarian and evil than what we have now.

As usual, there’s no hope for the future and no possibility of good outcomes.

Humanity is doomed to repeat it’s failures for all of history again and again, and we’re just along for the miserable ride.

What does any of this even mean?

Aahhhh, that makes more sense. I wondered how such a seemingly respectable, proper journalistic platform could be owned by that tosser, haha.

Well, small victories I suppose! Thank you for clarifying that.
