Just put this on LinkedIn:
'If any of y'all are writing about the Google antitrust decision and you need a quote from the co-author of GOOGLE HACKS who's been writing about search engines since 1996 when OFFICIAL NETSCAPE GUIDE TO INTERNET RESEARCH came out, here I yam,'
I don't have any LinkedIn verification so my reach approaches zero, but we'll see if any mayhem ensues.

Well, I haven't seen an online university site jammed to hell and back with gambling spam for a while, guess it was time. @npub10fm…x0qg

@npub10fm…x0qg You might want to add Calishat instead, because that's where the big-ass articles are going now

Oh dear. It occurs to me that I'm probably guilty of this too as my ResearchBuzz rss feed is full entries. The newsletters aren't a problem but I do write some big-ass articles.

@npub1typ…c8hh Yeah, that doesn't make any sense to me either, I want to hear what's happening around me

@npub1typ…c8hh I got them because I'm a woman who walks alone at dawn and the last thing I want to do when wearing headphones (often I don't bother) is block out what's happening around me.
I love them. I can hear the song or the talking but I can also hear the birds, footsteps behind me, cars, etc. The sound quality isn't top-notch, but I don't care.
I wear them like headphones but you're supposed to wear them on your neck. I got too much hair for that, they move around.

@npub1typ…c8hh Same. I got my bonephones and I'm sticking with those.

@npub18c7…er9d I hope their faces hadn't unfrozen from when they realized they got sished or whatever you call social engineered hacking
Maybe this will make the FTC mad enough that they'll put some teeth in their oversight

@npub18c7…er9d SHE DID IT?
I would have been like NOPE. I will wait. I am not endangering my credit card number because of your computer problem.

@npub189n…satx The link I'm dropping here is over five years old. It drives me absolutely bonkers that some people in the tech media are like "Oh he's changed" NO. He has been this, out loud, for years.
