@sergi @mogwai_poet I ate at an all you can eat hot pot place in Malaysia that had whole shrimp. It was darkly amusing to see the huge pile of heads left after the meal

I asked Google "who ruined Google" and they replied honestly using their AI, which is now forced on all of us. It's too funny not to share!

I asked Google "who ruined Google" and they replied honestly using their AI, which is now forced on all of us. It's too funny not to share! Google AI Overview reads (there is a pic of Google employee Prabhakar Raghavan) : According to tech writer Edward Zitron's newsletter article, The Man Who Killed Google Search, an executive's power grab led to Google's search engine's downfall in 2019. In the article, Zitron claims that Prabhakar Raghavan, the head of ads at Google, replaced Ben Gomes, the head of search, and prioritized growth metrics over search quality. Zitron's narrative is based on emails released as part of the DOJ's antitrust case against Google.

    @nixCraft and if you ask why, the AI mentions that "Google ... will delete inactive Google accounts ... unless they are used for something illegal." !!

    @nixCraft i feel like a good 75% of the issue is relatively unrelated to google though, it's more so the internet being saturated with SEO perfected LLM slop, because I mostly get useless results from DDG too, which is my primary? Or am I just too stupid to do online searches these days I dunno.

    They are not wrong.

    To mend your machine:

    1. Ditch Windows
    2. Install Plasma

    I got rid of Edge entirely on my Windows machine. I wonder how Microsoft will act now.

    I guess I should just become an immigrant since the land of Windows has been turning me down for quite a bit of time.

    @arstechnica The appropriate solution to this was to either use a different voice in the demo or to not make the "her" tweet. Removing the voice is the silliest path forward.

    News / Pretendo Network: You can now StreetPass your 3DS friends from anywhere in the world!

    Have you had trouble finding anyone to for Happy Home Showcase in New Leaf?

    If you have, the team at @pretendo have just made it easier! With the latest version of Nimbus (which allows you to connect to the network), you're now able to StreetPass people online from anywhere in the world!

    However, it's not that simple. Due to the buggy implementation of StreetPass for some games, you'll only be able to StreetPass people you've friended on your console (well that's 0 for me). It makes use of a feature called StreetPass Relay which was used at Nintendo Zones which allowed you to upload your data and download others.

    I think I'll just stick to real StreetPasses for now though (I got 3 in the last year). Anyone reading from the South West or West Midlands?

    @animal_crossing

    StreetPass Relay announcement on Discord ## StreetPass Relay StreetPass Relay was a feature built into the 3DS which allows users to gain "StreetPass'" from other users, even without physically being near them at the time. This worked by using a "StreetPass Relay Point", a wireless access point used by Nintendo Zone to store StreetPass data. When connecting to one of these relays, your console would upload your own StreetPass data as well as download the data of others from that relay. With our implementation, StreetPass Relay now works ***GLOBALLY***, removing the need to be at a physical access point! You can now passively gain passes with other Pretendo users simply by being online. At the time of writing we already have 59,573 pieces of StreetPass data from 7,464 unique users, ready to be relayed to others! There are 2 things note, however: 1. ***You must be using the latest release of Nimbus for StreetPass Relay to function. Previous versions do not have the correct URL patches for StreetPass Relay. You can download the latest release here <https://github.com/PretendoNetwork/Nimbus/releases/latest>*** 2. ***Due to the [questionable quality](<https://twitter.com/MrNbaYoh/status/1783912413068222477>) of the StreetPass parsers inside games and the fact that StreetPass Relay happens automatically, you can ONLY gain passes with people who you are friends with on the 3DS friends server. You will NOT be able to gain passes from any other users through StreetPass Relay.***
