Automattic has been working with the Internet Archive to develop a plugin to combat link rot, and it's a plugin I'd encourage you to install. As the plugin says: When a linked page disappears, the plugin helps preserve your user experience by redirecting visitors to a reliable archived version. It also works proactively by archiving your own posts every time they’re updated, creating a consistent backup of your content’s history. I've been doing this manually on my old archives, fixing broken links and tending the garden. But we can make it all automatic. 🙂

Looked up my town on the grok encyclopedia. Mixture of random inaccuracies with the odd bit of political editorialising. Won't be rushing back

I have noticed in Essex that the app (the old good one) shows when your reservation has arrived a looong time before the email comes

I mean - maybe I do say bab? This might be the reality check I need

Back looking at the transcriptions and interested that the AI has uncovered my brummie secret

Screen grab "So that's the plan basically Bab"

Everyone should love the just joans

AlanFricker @alanfricker.bsky.social · 11d

The Just Joans - just over 500 monthly listeners was my biggest surely not moment

Had already been listening to this version regularly of late - another reason. RIP Dave Ball

The already heart-rending Say Hello, Wave Goodbye takes on cinematic reach here. They were one of the few, pre-house era English groups (outside of hip hop remixers) to fully grasp the artistic liberation offered by the extended mix: i.e. not just mere extension:

youtu.be/vdH_xOIlbbk?...

soft cell - say hello wave goodbye - 12 inch version - 1982 original vinyl

Sadly this looks like a case of an easy money maker perhaps mixed with a chance to impose their power on someone

This is such a nonsense. The volume of things that go down street drains in their normal function versus a dribble of coffee. Given all the companies polluting our water and failing to manage their waste...
