  Enshittification. Every human who uses computers on a daily basis needs to understand this word.

  If plastic surgery is based on people with good looks, it seems to be very loosely based on them!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What search engines really have exact match?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is my complaint. It ranks popular videos with the title words out of order, over videos with the words in phrase order when I’ve used quote marks as a command to only return results containing the phrase.

  I also assume that for both Google and YouTube, content they want me to see is being ranked above content I choose. I am the product, not the customer, and to me that’s not acceptable in a search engine.

  I search Google for “Music behind the scenes”. Because the first word is music(?) Google gives me four songs with some of the keywords, but not in phrase order. Then it gives me seven YouTube videos, then one website that actually contains the phrase, and in fact refers to the videos I’m looking for.

  But what it absolutely refused to give me, no matter how hard I tried, was this: youtu.be/7r01e_SZ5ic?si=GdOpoP8dBp372yjg

  I presume this is because the videos aren’t monetised? Anyway precision score 11/30, and as for recall, even if I click on ‘videos’ the five of them that have the exact phrase in the title don’t appear at all.

  I hope everyone got to the point in the article where Top Blokes is mentioned because that’s a good news story.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Australia will fall well short of 82 per cent renewable energy by 2030, analysts predict, as problems mount⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  What are the motivations behind this article? What are the interests of the organisations quoted? Are NIMBYs the only bottleneck? Is it only one place in Victoria that’s affected or are there more? Are there any technical engineering issues involved? What do you think of the suggestion to switch government incentives from rooftop solar to batteries? How quickly could that happen?

  Hi Aaron, Thankyou for leading me to find Cory Doctorow’s essay on enshittification. I think this should be taught in every higher learning institution in the world, immediately.
