Them’s the rules.

Hey, looks, a reason to uninstall Apple News+

That’s fucking hysterical.

The balls on that guy to try to float Bitcoin as good for the environment.

He’d be better off impersonating OPEC.

Aggregates gonna aggregate

Maybe in news it is. 🤷‍♂️ My knowledge comes from working with a 3rd party for ESPN. I know ESPN refers to this as the bug. There are “bug operators”, and boy howdy does the producer yell at them when they’re not on their toes.

That’s actually called a “bug”—not the software error kind, though. In sports broadcasts, we get the classic “score bug,” always been there, usually small and tucked in a corner to keep things low-key. But what you’re seeing here, this whole bottom-of-the-screen takeover, is way more like those old-school news channel bugs from back in the ‘90s or early 2000s. You know, the ones that would stretch across the screen with stock prices, news updates, whatever they wanted to throw at you, right underneath the main action. It’s more intrusive for sure, but not anything wild—it’s actually been around for decades.

Tech is a wild ride.

Index funds are boring but *relatively stable

S&P 500 is always a good bet.

If you’re still on Twitter/X, you might as well join Truth Social.

How is that not extortion?

I’m all about that 301 baby.

Technically, if you’re internet is down or finicky, you could be simply agreeing to a 404 error.

I think it’s most evident when you do something like search “(venue name) Events”

Where you would normally get the venues events page as a top hit, Google tries to get you to get that info without ever visiting their page via a card.

Discoverability issues as per yesterdays search giants methods of crawling the web.

It’s quite clear that companies like Google and Microsoft are vulnerable in the search game right now.

I mean in the end you’re probably right, but if there were ever a time for a well-funded group to take aim at the suddenly low barriered entry, I think this is probably Custer’s last stand.

My recently promoted boss just totaled his car.

He’s okay but YUP.

Three things.

1. Yes. Sometimes this is malice. Sometimes this is an attempt to drive impressions and page views.

2. This can also be caused by poorly configured web applications that update in real time. If, say, some sports website is giving you real-time data about the game as it progresses, a poorly configured web application might be creating a dynamic URL for every change. When you access the older page, it will be instructed to take you to the most recent data, so pressing back is taking you to old data on that page, and then immediately realizing that data is old so refreshing it with the most relevant data.

3. This is a super common misconfiguration in single page web applications. Domain.com will take you to an application that renders at domain.com/en-us/home. Pressing back takes you to domain.com, and guess what happens next?

This is basically 99.99% of these cases. I would say if its on some shitty news site with 1000 ads that somehow sneak by AdBlock and UBlok Origin, it’s case 1. Otherwise, it’s case 2 or 3.

The picture instance is either case 1 or 2.
