fun new strategy from google: popups that try very very hard to make you enable personalized ads without explicitly saying "turn on personalized ads" and your only option is "ask me again in a week"
Popup on youtube showing with "Your ads, your choice" in smaller text stating: When personalized ads are on you can: • Block ads you don't like • Control your info used for ads • Limit ads on sensitive topics There are 2 options, "continue" with a black background and white text, and "Ask me in a week" in shades of gray (not disabled)

As far as I can tell they had a somewhat decent run in 2018-2023 doing AI research for stuff like climate mapping&data security and then moved to GenAI marketing

The difference between their pre-2024 impact articles and the news page is stark

www.turing.ac.uk/about-us/imp...
www.turing.ac.uk/news
6 headlines from https://www.turing.ac.uk/about-us/impact as follows: Enabling researchers to work safely with sensitive data Powering population models with synthetic data Understanding online abuse of Premier League footballers Demoing a digital twin of the UK energy system Revealing hidden details of the ocean floor Developing a more accurate measure of the nation’s health 6 headlines from https://www.turing.ac.uk/news as follows: The Alan Turing Institute responds to Secretary of State letter Open Source AI Fellowship Supports UK AI Engineers to Build Tech for Public Services US export controls have done little to curtail China’s quest for global AI dominance Computer engineer Sally Radwan appointed to the Turing’s Board of Trustees Experts call for greater focus on children’s AI use as research shows nearly 1 in 4 children use AI for learning and play https://www.turing.ac.uk/news/generative-ai-could-free-valuable-public-sector-time

clearsky seems to have 770k blocked via lists clearsky.app/jd-vance-1.b... which would put him at ~900k blocked by
The clearsky interface with the "Lists Blocked By" tab selected. A header below states "Blocked by 770,896 users via lists".

not sure how effective cloudflare bot fight and scrape shield is 🤔

This is a domain with *literally* nothing on it, so it should get ~0 legitimate traffic, but 50% of all requests are let through as part of MASSIVE batches
Cloudflare dashboard showing requests for a website. It lists 1.51k total, 635 mitigated by WAF, 769 served by cloudflare, and 108 Served by origin. The graph has a single point highlighted at 21:00, with 476 requests served by cloudflare, 447 mitigated by WAF, and 26 served by origin

why use typescript when you can create your own bot framework in an actually good language 😎
Lightmode highlighted kotlin code of the following: class KtSkyBotBuilder internal constructor() { var handle by writeOnce<String>() var password by writeOnce<String>() fun login(botHandle: String, botPassword: String) { handle = botHandle password = botPassword } fun build(): KtSkyBot { Network.login(handle, password) } }

can we talk about how wild it is that *everything* in bsky uses role="link" with a click event instead of actual links, this is actively hurting accessibility and desktop usability for no reason
White mode HTML inspector in firefox showing that the element for showing quotes is listed with the role="link" attribute and a click event on a generic div Best practices The various widget roles are used to define common interactive patterns. Similar to the document-structure roles, some of these roles, including the link role, duplicate the semantics of native HTML elements that are well supported, and should not be used. Avoid using link, which we've included for completeness. The <a> semantic equivalent with accessible interactivity is available and supported.

i love walking around with as much incriminating evidence as possible
CNN News Blurb from 3 minutes ago. The title is "Man questioned in CEO's killing under arrest on gun-related charges in Pennsylvania". "A man being questioned in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO in New York City is under arrest in Altoona, Pennsylvania, in connection with charges to the gun police recovered, according to a law enforcement official. The man is being held in Pennsylvania, the official said. He would need to be extradited him to New York to face any charges there. The man was found Monday at an Altoona McDonald’s with a gun and a suppressor like those used in the December 4 homicide, law enforcement officials briefed on the situation tell CNN."
