The author of @allaboutberlin on how Google AI Overviews are killing independent web publishing, citing a 70% drop in traffic after seven years of steady growth. His work trains the model. The model is replacing his site. There is no credit, clicks, or revenue. This is what the "enshittification" of the open web looks like in practice.

Hard to imagine moving to Berlin without stumbling upon his guides at some point.

Meta's latest attempt to stop the progress of my 2018 GDPR access complaint and its draft fine of €360-€430 million dramatically failed in the Irish High Court last week https://www.irishtimes.com/business/2026/05/21/meta-loses-challenge-to-possible-430m-fine-over-personal-data-processing-complaint/

The case is long and contains excerpts from relevant documents which I cannot myself post as Ireland changed primary law (Data Protection Act 2018 s 26A) during my complaint to make it a criminal offence for me, the complainant, to do so (after trying to NDA me). https://www.bailii.org/ie/cases/IEHC/2026/2026IEHC323.html

Is "50-seat vans running a fixed route" the most libertarian way to describe a bus?

The funniest LLM-writing quirk is founders stuffing “quietly” into every launch.

“We’re quietly building…”
“We quietly shipped…”
“We’re quietly changing…”

Mate, it’s fucking marketing. If you're being quiet about it, have you considered that you might be doing it wrong
