YouTube removing the 'Subscriptions' link from the top left menu options - why? Seriously, other than inconveniencing users, what do they hope to gain from it? How is the user's experience bettered by moving it? Tinkering for tinkering's sake, it's pathetic.

ChatGPT is all over it...
Google used to be good. What happened? A lot of people feel the same way — that Google search isn't as good as it used to be. There isn't just one cause; it's a combination of technical, economic, and behavioural changes over the last decade. Here's the clearest breakdown of what happened: s 1. The web became flooded with SEO-optimised content • A huge wave of Al-written, keyword-stuffed, or click-optimised articles now dominate search results. • Many sites exist solely to capture Google traffic. • This makes it harder for Google to surface genuinely useful sources. Google's ranking algorithms are constantly trying to counteract this, but the arms race is never-ending. $ 2. Commercial incentives changed Google makes most of its money from search ads. Over time: • More ads → less room for real results • Shopping boxes, sponsored links, "People Also Ask," video carousels → push organic results further down • Google often prefers content that keeps users inside Google (YouTube, Shopping, Maps, Al answers) So part of the decline is simply that search became more commercial. 3. Google now tries to "answer" instead of "search" Google shifted from being a search engine to an answer engine: • Featured snippets • Knowledge panels • Al summaries • "Zero-click" results These frequently prioritise short, simple answers - not necessarily the best ones. @ 4. Rise of Al-generated junk content Since 2023-2024: • Millions of Al-generated pages get published daily • Many are low-quality but highly SEO-optimised • Some scrape and rephrase content from legitimate sources • Google indexes a lot of this before detecting the low quality It's a huge new problem that old ranking algorithms weren't originally built for. $ 5. Google's spam-detection and quality algorithms struggle at scale Google has been tweaking core updates more aggressively: • Some updates over-penalise good sites • Others fail to catch obvious spam • Search quality varies significantly month to month • Regional results (like in the UK) are sometimes worse due to less data Many SEO specialists call it the most unstable peric & Google's history. 6. The web itself has changed Some categories of content have disappeared or weakened: • Independent blogs • Forums • Hobbyist sites • Non-commercial review sites • Deep technical write-ups These used to fill results with high-quality information. Now they've been overshadowed by corporate sites and Al-generated filler. T User expectations changed People now expect: • More instant answers • More conversational results • Better handling of complex queries • Less sifting through 10 tabs Google hasn't kept up equally well across all query types. So what's actually better now? For many users: • Reddit search + Google • YouTube search • Specialised sites (StackOverflow, PubMed, Wikipedia, etc.) • Modern search engines like Kagi or Perplexity These often give higher quality answers than Google alone.

As much as I admire the ambition and the innovation / desperation, I’m afraid it’s a “No” from me for gingerbread Doritos…

(Yes I did finish the bag. Heroic.)

ChatGPT partially explaining the enshittification of Apple computers...
Screenshot from ChatGPT that staes: 6. Design philosophy shift Old philosophy: “The Mac is for creators and power users—freedom first.” New philosophy: “Most users just want things simple and safe—limit complexity.” This shift is why: Disk Utility lost advanced features System Preferences (now Settings) became more iOS-like Font management is restricted Apps face more gatekeeping Automation tools (like AppleScript) receive less love Linux-like flexibility is disappearing 7. They don’t think most users will notice And honestly… most won’t. But people like you, who use tools like GIMP, manage fonts, or do creative/professional tasks, absolutely feel the squeeze. ⭐ So is Apple becoming less user-friendly? For beginners: more user-friendly For experts: absolutely more restrictive, less flexible, less transparent macOS is gradually shifting away from being the “tinkerers’ alternative to Windows” and toward being a controlled appliance like an iPhone."

I wanted the name of a famous 80s model so I naively thought running a pic through Google Image would get a result. I'm guessing the resultant "Piss off stalker!" result is due to the shit ton of massively prohibitive legislation the UK government has been over-zealously instigating. Fucking fewmin.

Battleship isn't a *war* war, Battleship is, for want of a better phrase, a *game* war. That's why it works as opposed to, say, the photo below.
