@davidrevoy @ailnoth Is that little pixie sitting next to Mastodon @pixelfed ? So cute!

How bad are the thousands of new stochastically-generated websites?
Last night I wanted to roast some hazelnuts, and I could not remember the temperature I used last time. So I searched on DuckDuckGo. Every website that I could find was machine-generated with different temps listed. One site had three separate methods listed that were essentially differently worded versions of the same thing. With different temperatures.

So I pulled my copy of Rodale’s Basic Natural Foods Cookbook off the shelf and looked it up there.

I think it may be time to download an archive copy of the 2022 Wikipedia before we lose all of our reference material. It was nice having all the world’s knowledge at my fingertips for a couple of decades, but that time seems to be past.

@kranzkrone @aral I prefer the term “people.”

@teknomunk @mmalc This is an ablist take. Sure, I used to love raking. But now I need an assistive device to move the leaves, and a battery powered leaf blower works great.
