Amazon's changing the way the Kindle works on Tuesday, so if you want to download and de-DRM your books, you have until the 26th to get it done. I wrote a quick how-to, for anyone who is interested: next.content.town/p/kindle-drm...
The Kindle DRM Deadline is Approaching!
On the 26th, Amazon is disabling a feature that makes backing up your Kindle eBooks easy. You have a couple of days to download them before it’s too late

Every day I see AI results like this which cause me to question whether Google really cares about organizing the world's information and making it useful anymore.
It's more like 'organize the world's information and produce information-shaped slurry'.
Sic transit gloria mundi.

My wife just complained that her Google image search results are completely overrun by gen AI.
I compared my #kagi results for the same query and it was a completely different story. And that was even before turning on the AI filter.

It's a really remarkable achievement that an essential piece of technical literacy has become: "You MUST ignore the first two inches of the Google result."
my wife googled “united airlines customer service” the other day and the AI summary seemed legit enough so she called the number that it listed. she got like 30 seconds into the call before they were asking for her BANK INFO. a scammer had gotten their number prominent enough that the AI grabbed it.

This is a truly amazing story. It’s always been obvious that large language models would be used to generate enormous volumes of garbage that would poison the online information environment. It was not obvious at all that reputable traditional media outlets would be complicit.
