A group of German researchers have confirmed what we’ve all observed, Google Search has gotten worse over time and is now filled with SEO spam.
Using ChatGPT to get answers instead of wading through spam links in Google reminds me of Google vs AltaVista over twenty years ago.
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

This artist should have so many more fans than he does. His work is exquisite! If he toured Europe, his music would go off! We were so close to collaborating on one of my musicals in order to take it to Helsinki Midsummer Festival, And then the lockdowns happened. He writes protest songs about the environment and the need for peace. So, radios are shy of carrying him in his own country. But that's the stuff I love!

This seems like a good way to try it before comitting.
I really didn't expect 1010Music to add USB audio, but it's a very welcome addition!
It's not the world's most feature-rich implementation—just stereo in/out 44.8k/24-bit—but it's perfect for my needs and lets me get rid of one more device from my live setup.

Fuck 👏 off 👏 "stale" 👏 bots.
If you are a developer that uses these to automatically close issues that have been valid for months and conveniently rely on a response from ONE person in an ocean of other responses, please reconsider your life choices. If there were no other responses? Fine. That's on the person to reply. But the bot should immediately eject itself from the conversation the moment someone else chimes in. Closing issues like this seriously hurts discoverability for developers and users alike.
Mountain Hare - from a stroll up the hills today. It was bitterly cold, but the hares were relaxed and allowed me to get close enough.

Always lovely to see in the Highlands Of Scotland.

in reply to Muse • • •For happy endings I kinda like Dickens - in fact Great Expectations has two endings, you pick. In the opposite direction I also love Thomas Hardy - but his endings can be very sad, like the protagonist being hanged (she was innocent) while the bad guy runs off with her sister; or the title character just barely failing in life while dying above the bar where his wife is partying away; or the man who sells his wife and daughter, in jest while she takes it seriously and then, years later, he falls in love with a girl and it is unclear whether she is his sold daughter or not....
I'd recommend the prodigious "Dream of the Red Chamber" for a book that is very happy, very sad, and very mysterious - it begins with the Fairy of Disenchantment trying to restore the pillars that hold up the sky and she creates 30,001 jade stones to use in the reconstruction. One stone is left over and it wonders why it was left out and get depressed, so it goes to the underworld where it waters a flower with its tears - and the two are incarnated to become the main characters of the novel, except for

It's an amazing book (all 2500 pages of it!)
