In 1995, Sandra Bullock became the first person in history to buy movie tickets online. She did it to promote her film THE NET. Only 30 years ago, but things have changed a lot.
Nice for web #Archaeology
Wiby.org
If you are a fan of Marginalia search engine, then you might also appreciate Wiby. It is a search engine that searches for ‘old style websites’. No AI answers, no SEO spam, just pure text search like in the good old days.

Wayback Machine Alternatives
Many of the tools in the list are primarily aimed at preserving pages. However, you can try searching for data saved by others using Google: "keyword site:pagefreezer.com" (similarly for other tools domains).

I've said this for a while now - in the post-truth society, people don't care if images are AI-generated. They only care about the emotional value and whether the content fits their agenda/worldview.

RIP Social Apps, 2005-2023
As of iOS 18, friend-based contact sync apps are basically dead on arrival. The number of people consenting to the new permission has nose-dived—so there is no way to get density in a meaningful way.
But as one door closes, another opens up:
From the handful of dashboards I've seen, the retention rates on AI companion/girlfriend apps are extraordinary.
Instinctually, I thought the entire space was bullshit. But it's now clear that the ability to craft relevant, empathetic responses to any user input is a powerful lever to activating users and entrenching them into a relationship, albeit artificial.
For better or for worse, LLMs might be the new Contact Sync. If we can't find our friends on apps anymore, people will find something else to talk to.
