My book, 'Drystone - A Life Rebuilt' has been selected for The Bookseller’s August nonfiction preview by Caroline Sanderson, one of the most trusted voices in UK publishing!
A lovely vote of confidence for a quiet book, from an indie publisher.

It's no longer a browser (as in letting you access the web) but a thing that increasingly starts distancing you from the writing, etc.: Why read if you can have a (probably wrong) summary? Of course you still _can_ use it in different ways but the affordances and nudges are clear.
It's like perplexity and such: Not search engines but quite the opposite.
The browser was the platform to make the web accessible to people. "AI" browsers see the web and what's in there just as more stuff to churn through to keep you within the AI provider's ecosystem.
@ajroach42 When we build places that rely less on cars to get around, and prioritize *people* getting to the places they need to go, we get fewer cars.
Individual places see some benefits when they design better infrastructure. But there’s an inflection point we need to work toward, where most people don’t find a car worth having, because most places are easier to get around in other ways.
Samen met acht organisaties, en op initiatief van AI Forensics, dienen we een klacht in tegen X. Onderzoek toont aan dat adverteerders hun advertenties op X kunnen richten op gevoelige persoonsgegevens, zoals politieke overtuiging, etniciteit en seksuele oriëntatie. Dat is sinds de invoering van de Europese platformwet, de Digital Services Act, verboden.

Er zijn zoveel alternatieven voor #WeTransfer dat ik niet zo goed begrijp dat mensen er nog zo op ingaan.
Surf heeft een hele mooie, bijvoorbeeld. Die is zelfs Open Source

Of die van KPN.

#QuestionOfTheDay fictional prospect draft! You have the #1 pick in a draft of fictional heroes/heroines BEFORE they became heroic or powerful. You have no idea who the rest of your cast or party will be and no idea what other fictional characters you can acquire later or put around your draft pick so they may not necessarily develop into the powerful/heroic character they do in normal canon.
You can pick from any work of fiction.
Who do you choose to lead your party in a quest of unknown challenges and difficulty?
