In Yesterday's IO Keynote Google declared war on the remnants of the Web.

While they packaged it as a lot of "AI" talk what their whole approach of decontextualizing information, of taking away links to sources and instead producing some LLM generated response means is that they want to establish a new abstraction layer on the web. Where Zuckerberg with his Metaverse failed Google is starting the next attack: Your website, your work no longer matters.

Well it matters as (unpaid) raw material for their synthetic text extruders but not as cultural artifact you can share with others.

This is a literal revolution but one against the participatory web, against us: The goal is to take away the web and guide people into Google's abstraction on top of it. An abstraction they control and moderate. It's about monopolizing access to information.

If you care about the web, about people's ability to participate in it as more than mere passive consumers, this needs to be taken seriously. De-Googlifying your mental apparatus becomes more urgent today. Find other search engines, don't use their browser. Or wake up in a slopified AOL kind of environment.

I've seen a few people trying to defend Bambu Lab's bullying of an open source developer over completely legal AGPL code use...

Now @conservancy is raising funds to stop companies like Bambu Labs from abusing the AGPL and open source devs: https://sfconservancy.org/news/2026/may/18/bambu-studio-3d-printer-agpl-violation-response/

Just released: a virtual museum with nearly every OS you can think of...

Had a great time in ridiculously-beautiful Lecco at @hackaday Europe 2026 this weekend. I gave a talk about some musical instruments I've been prototyping, will share some more about them on here soon!

Absolutely love the conference badge - can't wait to play around with it some more.
