Moziila didn’t have the ressource to keep a "subscribe to RSS" button in Firefox but has the manpower to build a full IA inside your browser.
And that’s all you need to know about the end of the web and the IA bubble.

A very dear friend of mine, Fern, who taught me pretty much all I know about overland bike travel, is in need of a new wheelchair. One that will get her out and about again on new adventures on five wheels rather than the two she is more used to.
Please do give what you can - it all helps […]

Okay, so what would be the “ethical” platform for fundraising, for a wheelchair as it happens, at the moment?
I’m not really up on this stuff.

Again: Don't believe them: LLM text generators creating lots of slop web sites *does not damage the Web*. It just makes search engines useless. #Google is simply pivoting from a) providing Web search to b) letting you query a pre-trained LLM. This means that we’ll be back to hand-curated links and trusted sites, like in the 90s. I’m fine with that. You'll find my writing at my blog URL, as always. #ai #llm #www

Norfolk.social is the natural social home of me, Rachel Lawson, often known as rachel_norfolk, but I’m certainly very happy for it to be the home of others who live in Norfolk.Hence the domain name...
