Go back to when you were a teenager and ask yourself how cool you would be with a government saying you can't look at web sites and forums because they're "too addictive", you can't listen to Nine Inch Nails because it's "for adults only", and Geocities needs to be shut down because it's "too LGBT".

I recognize that this will not be a popular opinion, but I think it's true. And I hope people will read the whole thing before they start yelling at me based on the headline.

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. Blog post with details: blog.neocities.org/blog/2026/01...

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.

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.

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.

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…

It's interesting to think of the CO2 cost (assuming conventional electricity sources?) to train GPT4 as "200 flights from New York to San Francisco", which happens every 2 days. andymasley.substack.com/p/individual...

I was walking on a frozen lake just before midnight. This was before phones, so I had to look back at the lights onshore to see if the world ended.

CF uses AI to "detect AI*", but they call it "machine learning" so people uninformed about AI will think they're not using AI to be anti-AI. Great example of why we should be calling all of this stuff Machine Learning and not AI. *This is almost certainly generating (millions of?) false positives

I see a lot of "AI blocker lists" adding Applebot, but Apple uses that for everything (ex: previews of sites), then looks at Applebot-Extended in the robots.txt to decide AI permissions. Great way to get your site blocked from a search engine if Apple is forced to run their own post Google breakup.
