    Started to get Google 'Ai' Gemini results on my search's.
    It's hilariously bad and so far off the mark my job will be safe for years to come

    There's a fix for that.

    Again, thanks Gareth for showing me something I didn't realise I needed but need.

    The Chrome instructions will probably work - Opera's just Chromium in a trenchcoat. (As are almost all mainstream browsers, bar Firefox and Safari.)

    Think Servo will go anywhere? Or is Blink [Chrome and -a-likes] or more widely WebKit [Lumping in Safari] it for the foreseeable

    Small bump in pay, nothing crazy but honestly anything is step in the right direction…

    Also, second attempt at making watch. Hands set in 15 minutes with the help of extra lighting and some patience. Granted they’re a mix of rose and yellow gold but you can’t really tell. I need to replace the marked dial at a later date anyway so a problem for another day.

    I hope so, but there's a long way to go. The trouble is, the web's just too big - building something from scratch is effectively impossible now.

    There's also Ladybird, which will probably beat it to market, but the founder's a jackhole so that can get in the sea.

    Personally, I'm getting more interested in non-web stuff, like Gemini (which is basically "what if Gopher but slightly modern?")

    Do you have any idea how little that narrows things down?

    An actual cash bonus from work! Company wide but being long serving and on a higher job grade I maxed out the amount I could get.
    Always said if I got a cash lump sum it would go to a new car fund so this is a very decent starting point (still running the 2008 Civic into the ground and being a decent weekend mechanic it's gonna last a while).

    Just a nice weight off my mind to no have to use the safety net savings

    Actual Bank of England gift vouchers are always nice! :D
    I just passed 20 years with my current employer last Friday, but long service awards are at 10 & 25 here (and only an Amazon voucher anyway) :(.

    First solid poo in over 10 days and the first night I wasn’t awoke at 5am with cramps.

    Taking that as a total win #IBSlife.

    Having a good solid dump is a thing often under appreciated.

    Thankfully my gut bug left and, thanks to the help of prunes (that I conclude are just massive tastier raisins), I too have had a similar little win.

    And to think, some people just think we talk sh*t on here.

    Are you insane? Prunes are nasty, foul tasting. foul smelling and disgusting.

    Had some organic, unsweetened Californian ones. They did taste like massive raisins.

    Not had any for years and I remember them being rank.

    Meanwhile the Fiveguys I had last night, whilst very tasty, had me making noises like a squeezed Fairy Liquid bottle this morning.
