It’s interesting that you put the blame on the FDA. I’m not in the USA, but the effectiveness of a body like the FDA, the FCC, the EPA, FAA and all the others is directly related to how much money they have available and who is running the department; these are determined by politicians.

In other words, medical oversight depends entirely on whom you vote for and why voting is important. It’s the “little” things like this, not the defence or education budgets capturing the headlines that make the difference.

I’m guessing it’s because of concerns about quality control.

Ever since it became about engagement rather than the right results, the writing was on the wall.

Fortunately this means that there are significant opportunities for search competition. The only thing you need to do is give better results than Google.

Just like all the search engines before Google, it too will become a footnote in the history of the internet.

Wow!

I’m guessing that WordPress will be forked soon …

Yeah, in the unedited version of my reply, the asterisk wasn’t detected as part of the URL which lands you at Sag A, not Sag A*.

This.

If you’re wondering why, this is the centre of our Galaxy. Of course if you’re planning on intergalactic travel, you might have some issues, but before you get too worried about it, exploring the current galaxy is going to take a while.

Edit: The link to the super massive black hole at the centre of our galaxy wasn’t working.

Hopefully this means that when I search for Kmart items I’ll finally only get Australian results for things I can actually buy, rather than stupid Google search results offering USA results, even when I tell it that I’m in Australia where Kmart is alive and well with apparently 301 stores in the country.

Here’s an example of me searching for “kmart sandles” on “google.com.au”

I remove the sticker, wash it under the tap and one bite at a time, eat it whole.

Your modem will likely keep connection statistics which will tell you how much data was downloaded and uploaded.

Ookla speedtest.net will give you an indication of your network speed. I have a cron job that logs the speed with their cli client every 5 hours and I use it to keep my ISP mostly honest.

The resulting data can also be used to map peak network congestion so you don’t end up with network buffering issues when you are watching the latest episode on your favourite streaming service.

It is again beginning to feel rather dysfunctional…

If this was my problem to solve, I would host it internally, as-is, on a virtual machine of your choice, then create a a static html mirror version from the public information and put that up on AWS S3 as a static website.

If it’s static content, nothing beats an AWS S3 bucket.

This is history repeating itself.

Try looking for anything in relation to computing between 1975 and 1990, the birth of the home computer and you’ll discover just how much has vanished.

We’ve been using an Apple TV. From memory, there’s a Jellyfin client.

So, another way to report this is;

Two thirds of people in Spain are happy with foreign tourists visiting their lovely country

Next step: Apple removes hardware from box and ships aspiration only.

It absolutely is.

It’s possibly also how they’ll get broken up by the DoJ.

I think that every single provider tracks your activity and the vast majority of them use it to optimise their service income from you, either by giving you better engagement, ie. making you use the service more - endless searching for content for example, or by selling the captured tracking data to the highest bidder.

I experienced this crazy onslaught of advertising to the point of reducing how much I watched YouTube. I was pretty upset and not at all inclined to pay, especially since YouTube was even putting ads on my own videos without me seeing a single cent, because my channel is too small.

Then my partner bought me a few months of a Premium Subscription as a Christmas gift.

It was pointed out to me that I watched more YouTube than any other streaming service which I was paying for.

Combined with background music on mobile, it’s changed my life.

I’m still unimpressed with the business model, but the alternative is so far worse.

Find me a self publishing video platform with the reach of YouTube that doesn’t require self hosting and I’ll happily move my content there.

You could use a cron job to grep through the file and reformat the output into a webpage, markdown, or plain-text file.
