- p410n3Fair. I was probably just projecting. I cant even figure out when to use a comma in my native language. So caring about which type of hyphen was used feels like overly sophisticated to me - because I dont care myself.
- I always thought the whole argument was about explicitly using em dash and / or en dash. Aka — and –.
Because while people OBVIOUSLY use dashes in writing, humans usually fell back on using the (technically incorrect) hyphen aka the "minus symbol" - because thats whats available on the keyboards and basically no one will care.
Seems like, in the biggest game of telephone called the internet, this has devolved into "using any form of dash = AI".
Great.
- Do you have any resources here? The /r/seo subreddit seems vers superficial coming from an web agency background so its hard to find legit cases versus obvious oversights. Often people make a post describing a legit sounding issue on there just to let it shine through that they are essentially doing seo spam.
- What "changes in methodology applied by Google in September" are you referring to? There surely is a public announcement that can be shared? Most curious to hear as a shop I built is experiencing massive issues since august / september 2025
- I ran into the same thing! My site still isnt indexed and I would REALLY like to not change the URL (its a shop and the url is printed on stuff) - redirects are my last resort.
But basically what happened: In august 2025 we finished the first working version of our shop. I wanted to accelerate indexing after some weeks because only ~50 of our pages were indexed and submitted the sitemap and everything got de-indexed within days. I thought for the longest time that its content quality because we sell niche trading cards and the descriptions are all one liners i made in Excel. ("This is $cardname from $set for your collection or deck!"). And because its single trading cards we have 7000+ products that are very similiar. (We did do all product images ourselves I thought google would like this but alas).
But later we added binders, whole sets and took a lot of care with their product data. The frontpage also got a massive overhaul - no shot. Not one page in index. We still get traffic from marketplaces and our older non-shop site. The shop itself lives on a subdomain (shop.myoldsite.com). The normal site also has a sitemap but that one was submitted 2022. I later rewrote how my sitemaps were generated and deleted the old ones in search console hoping this would help. It did not. (The old sitemap was generated by the shop system and was very large. Some forums mentioned that its better to create a chunked sitemap so I made a script that creates lists with 1000 products at a time as well as an index for them.)
Later observations are:
- Both sitemaps i deleted in GSC are still getting crawled and are STILL THERE. You cant see them in the overview but if you have the old links they still appear as normal.
- We eventually started submitting product data to google merchant center as well. It works 100% fine and our products are getting found and bought. The clicks still even show up in search console!!!! So I have a shop with 0 indexed pages in GSC that gets clicks every day. WTHeck?
So like... I dont even know anymore. Maybe we also have to restart like the person in the blog did and move the shop to a new domain and NEVER give google a sitemap. If I really go that route I will probably delete the cronjob that creates the sitemap in case google finds it by itself. But also like what the heck? I have worked in a web agency for 5 years and created a new webpage about every 2-8 weeks so i roughly launached about 50-70 webpages and shops and i NEVER saw that happen. Is it an ai hallucinating? Is it anti spam gone too far? Is it a straight up bug that they dont see? Who knows. I dont
(Good article though and I hope maybe some other people chime in and googlers browsing HN see this stuff).
- Lets go one level deeper: What's the reason that the vim disgners keyboards had hjkl as arrow keys? Because it made sense for it to be the home row. I still use arrow keys though
- So since RCS is now here, Apple needed a new way to force people into buying iPhones by direct social pressure from peers.
(In the US)
- As mentioned in another comment my step moms UC is likely stress related. My crohns doesnt seem to be; but sport helps me a ton. Something thats interesting is that even with MC and also PSC there are multiple "forms" of it.
My doc says my crohns is inflaming the whole end part of my colon somewhat consistently; my small intestines are fine. Many other patients of hers have inflammations at specific parts that are more severe, and also sometiumes the small intestines are affected.
And then my PSC seems to (so far) only affect my small ducts; which doesnt mean it cant get more severe but so far is "less damaging" then "normal" PSC. No one seems to really know if these are the same disease, related or entirely different. Its kinda crazy tbh
- My (non-bio) mom has UC and her one big flare up in life was high school exam time she said (she still has nightmares about that time). Since then only small episodes easily treated with prednisolone, but often easily attributed to stress as well. Like days before an important work event: problems. Team members being ill and she has to cover: problems.
I personally have Crohns and PSC as well, and I think less stress helped; but I am on Rinvoq (INN-Upadacitinib) and eat psyllium husks and still have occasional diarrhea, what helps A TON however is sport. I skateboard (and whenever I find the time I go HARD), and 1-2 days after I am always good, colon wise. When I dont skate for a week and eat slightly fatty i have problems, but when skate on a friday and then order opne of those disguting cheap pizzas from that greek place i am still good (i dont do this often but it happens).
Why I have these autoimmun diseases is also an interesting question. My biological parents are both good in that regard, so is my extended family. However I do know my bio-mom smoked while pregnant, and i passively smoked in the household up until I was 12 (and then started smoking at 14, quit with 18)
So maybe thats part of it too
Its very interetsing all that, also scary
- That makes sense! I'd still assume thats way less then ideal on fuel usage. Again anecdotal but my gramps is charging his on a regular wall plug. Takes long but gets the job done. And if not you still get to drive anyway, you're never stuck.
- See my comment, my grandpas neighbors are seemingly doing that
- Personal anecdotes ahaead:
I'm German. My grandpa was an electrical engineer. He is very enthusiastic about his PHEV and talks about it alot. He bought one because not only is he interested, but also PHEV sales got heavily subsidized (i think like 6000€ or smth) and so many people bought one in his area as well. Apparently, a surprising amount of old middle class German people bought PHEVs and literally never charge it. My grandpa told me he onced asked his neighbor for a cable and that thing was brand new.
I'm not sure if its ignorance or deliberate though. If you never use the battery the resale value might be higher? It's also literally just an anecdote but it was surprising
- I have red green color blindness (deuteranopia) and i have no idea if my answer is right or wrong on until i change my monitor settings to high saturation. (I usually turn that off because it messes a lot with other colors)
- That implies people leave it plugged in, which is not advisable. Also ignores the fact that these keys have certain phishing protections. 2fa will fail when you're on a cloned phishing page, so you can't enter your totp code in a fake site. I use mine ALONGSIDE a traditional encrypted pw manager
- Can Confirm. I was big into telegram communities at that time and joined when her group was public. I have nothing to prove because I delete all my stuff but the indictment shows screenshots and transcripts from the group. She literally posted selfies on Twitter sometimes.
I don't agree with most of her more radical views and find her methods to be too extreme, but she clearly stood behind them and didn't hide
- > make the Lockdown mode browser look to external websites like it isn't in Lockdown mode.
This will be instantly defeated by benchmarking the js performance. But disabling JIT is a VERY important step to harden your browser. This is one of these things where you have to actually choose between privacy and security
- 1 point
- var_filter is more comparable to things like a form validation. You obviously don't use that for security neither. If you actually wanna pass stuff to system() or equivalent, you'll use escapeshellarg()
That is if you actually use raw php. Very few (good) people do. (Kinda like ruby). And symfony / laravel have functions for both these use cases. Symfonys process takes care of this for example
- Reminds me of what deletescape and their associates did. They just broke into stuff and leaked it. There's lots of tweets and telegram messages explaining their motives. Now most of the tweets and telegram messages are deleted but there's still some to see in article's and even in the FBI indictment.
Tillie had TERRIBLE opsec from day one tho. Everyone knew her real name and face. I once mentioned this in the group chat and she promptly tweeted a selfie saying "don't have opsec like me".
Considering this, it lastes pretty long actually.
Disclaimer: I was in no way involved and publicly stated my disapproval in the deletescape Chats. It was however a thrill to see these things go down. Although it is equally as sad how this young lady threw away a lot of future potential for her ideals, without making any significant changes imo
