Nothing, as per usual.

A Chrome browser error page displays the familiar “Aw, Snap!” message, indicating that something went wrong while loading a webpage. A pixelated frowning file icon with Xs for eyes appears at the top left. Below, the error code reads “Out of Memory,” suggesting the browser ran out of system resources. The page includes a “Reload” button in blue on the bottom right

behold the "HTML bomb"

It's a counterattack for AI companies that persistently scrape and rescrape your web site, even when you tell them not to

when a scraper grabs it, it becomes a 10-gig HTML page and 💣 goes the scraper

Remember REPowerEU? You think divesting into a country currently run by a Russian agent is a good substitute for direvt Reliance on Russian fossil fuels?

Best option is probably to avoid buying PCs and laptops that have AI chips.

Ah feck, sorry this happened to you.

Given how Trump argued that the only reason COVID numbers were bad was because they reported on them, I am not the least bit surprised that this is how this shook out.

Hey @boycatapp.bsky.social is this website also yours? app.boycat.co

Stop KOSA KOSA is a censorship bill that won’t make kids safe. Instead, it'll put all internet users at risk, especially youth. If you believe in a free and open internet, tell your lawmakers to reject #KOSA!

Oh, there's another website: euroalternative.co (6) #boycottusa #buyeu #euustradedeal #fucktrump

Here are two websites to find alternatives to move to, mostly for apps and digital services, but also some consumer goods and products: www.exit50.com and european-alternatives.eu (5) #boycottusa #buyeu #euustradedeal #fucktrump

Cancel YouTube Premium, Apple TV+/ Music, Spotify, Amazon Prime, HBO, Disney+ and Netflix subscriptions. Use local app alternatives for Uber / Uber Eats and don't use AirBnB. (4) #boycottusa #buyeu #euustradedeal #fucktrump

On the digital side, move off Microsoft, Meta, Google and Apple in whatever capacity you can. Switch your email and cloud storage provider and use third party app alternatives. Do not pay subscriptions through the respective app store! (3) #boycottusa #buyeu #euustradedeal #fucktrump

One way to reduce giving money to US corporations is to switch to local/store brands for processed foods, drinks and household products when shopping, weeding out companies like Mars, Kellanova, Coca-Cola, J&J & Colgate-Palmolive (2) #boycottusa #buyeu #euustradedeal #fucktrump

@vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu refuses to protect EU citizens' from US corporate interests and is willing to jeopardise our safety standards and energy independence to appease the orange dictator. It's time to boycott US brands and products! (1) #boycottusa #buyeu #euustradedeal #fucktrump

There is a website for digital stuff: european-alternatives.eu

There's also this one, which includes consumer goods: www.exit50.com

For food and household items, move to store brands / local alternatives to avoid giving Mars, Johnson&Johnson, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo and the likes money. No McDonalds, no Burger King, no Netflix, no Disney Plus.

This is the way. Boycott American products, especially the tech giants that helped Trump win the election. No Amazon, no Meta, move off Microsoft, Apple and Google products as much as possible (use EU alternatives for mail and file storage).

Yup, if the EU refuses to represent the interests of their populace, the populace may decide they don't want to be in the EU any more. Refusing meaningful action against Russia and Israel while appeasing the US will lose them a lot of support across the board.

I hope her last name will be a bane on her children's existence.

Why would she? She gets to do whatever is easiest get paid, and no one will hold her responsible. People will need to remove her.

EU leaders: Oh no, what's with all those nationalist, anti-EU, anti-globalisation parties gaining gound?

Also EU leaders: Let's appease the orange dictator and - checks notes - compromise on automotive and food safety standards so the US can sell us their unsafe wares.

Absolute disgrace!

Hellfire Club as you walk up to it

Front of the Hellfire Club

Today's little day trip took us to the Hellfire Club on Montpelier Hill.

You should watch A Crown of Candy by @dimension20.bsky.social and the prequel campaign The Ravening War!

The metal shelf in our front porch, which is mosely glass except for theside walls. The bottom holds gardening tools and propagators. the nect sh lf up is currently empty, the shelf above that has some glass terrariums, containers and cups that are currently empty after my work. and the top shelf has some plants in pots and glass cups. It's dark outside.

A closer look at one of the smallsucculents onthe top shelf. A big brown snail is draped over it, trying make it its dinner. How it got allthe way up tvere is a mystery!

I spent the weekend tidying up the shelf in the porch and repotting the plants. Sunday evening I switched on the porch light and found this interloper. I admire its determination but it was evicted nonetheless. No idea how it got in or up there! #gardening #indoorgarden #houseplants #succulents

Disgusting carryon from Krafton, hope the lawsuit gets really expensive for you!

The EU is trying to keep up the appearance of helping Ukraine while silently hoping Ukraine just rolls over and accepts annexation by Russia soon. Absolutely deplorable, and it is delusional to think sacrificing Ukraine will stop Putin rather than embolden him.
