Any real Christians in the GOP would denounce Trump & Company’s false piety and warmongering.

If there were any real Christians, that is.

Apple's search engine or AI model must be making progress: It looks like applebot has just morphed from a hobby into a product. I'm seeing more requests in a hour than were typical in a week before today.

The space program was inseparable from the cold war that gave birth to it, but it also transcended it. It was, by design or not, about far more than rockets or space. It was about inspiration and imagination.

For a generation of a certain kind of nerdy kid, there was *nothing* cooler than space, rockets, exploration. For many of us, the feeling stuck.

Requests with fake Googlebot agent strings (wrong Chrome version) are coming, of all places, from Google Cloud.

XKCD: Satellite Pollution

Title text: We're working to make sure the images are as up-to-date and accurate as possible, with a minimum number of sponsored galaxies.

In XKCD world, this is tech's solution to light pollution by LEO constellations and its effect on astronomy - 100-mile wide banners hanging off satellites with pictures of stars and galaxies, mostly inaccurate.

Problem solved!

I was a Mac Pro user from 2008 to 2021. When the Mac Studio came out it was so obviously exactly what I and many others needed that I never even considered the new Mac Pro. It is so easy to expand storage with Thunderbolt and really not necessary to have PCIe slots anymore. Today was no surprise.

I find it ironic that Google and Bing ask web masters to provide a a sitemap.xml file.

This assumes either (1) that the web master hasn't properly linked all pages or (2) that their bot's algorithm is too inefficient to extract links, and they would rather some else would do their work for them.

I think its option (2).

I'm not going to use my own bot to build such a tree for a couple of million URLs. This would take several months, by which time several hundreds new URL will have been added.

Another iPadOS GUI fail: When it changes Focus, it presents a pop-up with an X button. That button doesn't close the pop-up, but rather it changes your Focus mode.
