  • As much as I’ve come to loathe Google, I think even that is a bit unfair to them. Search engine optimization is a result of the existence of search engines, because being at the top of the results is always worth good money.

    Back before Google was the top dog, there were numerous search engines, and I’m pretty sure people shared tips on how to get further up on the results even then, they just didn’t use the term SEO yet.

    Google became the dominant search engine because it gave better results than anyone else, because it wasn’t so easy to manipulate your ranking on the results. But there were always sites that wanted to be on top even when they shouldn’t be. Google stayed ahead of their game for some decades, but now it looks like they can’t or won’t keep it up anymore.

    You guys have to be memeing. I can sort of see the 4, although it’s pretty subtle. But there’s no way that’s a 7. It clearly curves at the top, like a 2.

    Edit: Ok, nevermind. I just loaded up the image in an image editor and shifted the hue a bit. I can see the 74 then. I knew from previous color vision tests that I had somewhat less than average color vision, but I didn’t think it would be this striking.

    Edit 2: Oh, and here’s the edited image, for others who might have trouble seeing it (I hope you won’t have trouble with this image, too):




  • Personally I tend to use my bike moreso to get from place to place than just for leasure. Although I’ve also been exploring various side-streets lately, mostly to figure out what the best routes are that minimize my risk of getting run over.

    I think there should be some bicycle-specific communities somewhere on Lemmy as well, you might enjoy those. Although I only really know about the German one.
