Update on Bing: The block seems to have been removed! Sites are slowly starting to re-index. Special thanks to @ashleybelanger.bsky.social for this really helpful article and visibility.

We now have a direct contact at Microsoft we're communicating with to see how this can be prevented again.

Bing has blocked neocities and all user subdomains from its search index.

We’ve spent months trying to resolve this through official channels and gotten nowhere.

Until this gets resolved, we are recommending that people do not use Bing.

Files have always been the superior interface, this is still true. When I had 100k mp3s I couldn't even use iTunes because the fcking indexer would crash trying to load all of them into the interface. "Songs/Artist/Album Name/01 - Title.mp3" was a perfect interface, fast to load, and easy to use.

If Google let other users reply to reviews they would finally have that successful social network they always wanted.

I'm eating lunch there now, the place is packed and it's great.

Don't read negative reviews of a restaurant to learn anything about the restaurant, read them to learn how insane the reviewers are.

Check out this full-blown existential crisis about greed, illegal child labor, and the slow death of the American dream for a review of a mom and pop SANDWICH SHOP.

Interesting variation on the "give us a link to our shitty spam site so we can improve its page rank" grift. Most of the time it's something like "Hello, I'm a teacher and my students wanted you to add this link!" but this one rolls in like Bluto from Popeye.

Jevons paradox - Wikipedia

@jwynia.com reminded me of Jevons' paradox this morning, I wonder if that's what's going on here.

All four major web browsers are about to lose 80% of their funding Google pays for 80%+ of the development budget of all major web browsers, and soon, the US will force Google to stop supporting their…

Trying to figure out how to process this.. I love the idea of simpler browsers but I think that conversation is over.. cutting all of the funding for browser development seems like a great way to shove everyone into hyper addictive social media apps on monopolistic app stores and kill the web.

DDoS is a part of life unfortunately, of any online service, of any scale. Mastodon is far easier to DDoS because you just winnuke the crappy unpatched VPS it's being hosted on and then the hosting provider blackholes your server.

DDoS is a universal, mandatory training on resilience improvement.

The cool thing about bootstrapping too is you can attack problems that are on a longer time scale. When you get investors you're not just adding people that need exponential money back you're also adding a stopwatch.

Someone a while ago was trying to convince me that Tariff Man "read a book on economics" and was completely convinced this is all just some elaborate negotiation strategy. Amazing what a ghostwritten fantasy novel about deal-making prowess can do for one's reality distortion field.
