Every Web browser sucks, but at least use one *not* designed to let everyone track you & install malware & fake warnings urging you to call 1-800-FLEECE-ME to remove extended car warranty viruses.

Chrome is designed to let google spy on you in order to serve behavioural ads. So it should be no wonder third parties are using it to inject malware into your devices. The only reason these are "exploits" is because someone other than Google, the world's largest advertising company, is using them.

@porsupah The thing is, YouTube rewrote my search to take me to a list of 8 relevant results, but when I followed the "search instead for" link, it took me to a list of *more* relevant results, not fewer.

I really miss the Web 1.0 days, when websites assumed you meant exactly what you said or only *offered* corrections for ambiguous potential mistakes.

No, YouTube. I copied my search terms straight from the Billboard chart. I thought you would've learned by now what your autoco-wreck exceptions should be, but here we are.

Speaking of LLMs as the enshittification du jour, the lawyer who had ChatGPT do his homework for him: futurism.com/the-byte/lawyer-c

Depressingly got away with it via a punishment a lot less severe than the disbarment he deserved: futurism.com/the-byte/lawyer-c

All this does is perpetuate the soul-destroying bullshit's appearance as the new hype.

This isn't the future I was promised.

LLMs, in the context of online and meatspace enshittification, are "large language models." The invisibly-failing & gatekept ripoff ChatGPT is simply the most famous LLM.

Folks, I'm really sorry. Computer Fairies went down because I made a stupid mistake. I gave the site host a CC to hold & draw payment from, but it expired last month, and I forgot to give them a new CC until today. Again, I'm really sorry about the downtime.
