what the fuck is "kinsta.cloud" and why is it blocking me

#BrokenWeb

My kid saw a Captcha the first time.

K: „what’s that?“
Me: „We need to prove, that we are not robots“
K: „nobody is a robot“

Yup, that’s where we are now.

How to tell if your "search engine" is "fucking broken"

If you are a user of Offline (off---line.com) you probably notice that the website is kind of broken now. All the profile pictures of users are gone since 18 September, 2025.

Not impressed with the “pay us or accept that we will ignore your right to deny tracking” that is becoming pervasive around the web. I will not be held to ransom, your business model is broken and I will not visit your site again. #Enshitification #BrokenWeb #Privacy
I so wanted to read this Wired-article, but couldn’t because of constant layout shifts on my poor internet connection when the ads were trying to load. #brokenweb

This is just crazy how bad web search is. I've been listening to this track https://open.spotify.com/track/24N7BXYb3VOzrdWS5Dai4i?si=36665cff15d84cbb Chantal Perrier-Layec who plays Rameau. It's a really nice performance. Wanted to learn more about her. Nothing in Google apart from links to tracks. Nothing in DeepSeek. Even in @duckduckgo I'm on page 9 before I can find this https://astrigantreassiandedeyan.com/artistes She done several disks... #brokenweb

| might be done trying to post my photos online. :-(
For the last year I have been trying to establish a sensible workflow to post to my Wordpress blog and Mastodon, with proper alt text and a working lightbox. The latest show stopper is poorly functioning lightbox, which has been, along with WP's horrible handling of images in general, the bane of my existence for along time.
So I'm done trying, for now at least. :-(

WTF Microsoft? This is wrong on so many levels...
Whenever I have to touch stuff from that company, for work reasons, I have a wtf moment.

Not only are they pushing unrequested generative text at me, they place it above the answer content created by idiots who put an effort into helping out on their website for free. But it gets better (\s)! About 50% of the generated text is irrelevant bullshit (highlighted). #speechless
