“There is no longer a path towards creating a sustainable business in consumer search,” a combination of the difficult economic environment as well as the challenge that Neeva had found in persuading people to sign up for its search engine. “From the unnecessary friction required to change default search settings, to the challenges in helping people understand the difference between a search engine and a browser, acquiring users has been really hard.”

Draft Action Suddenly Not Working
For the longest time I have used a drafts action to post to MicroBlog. There are also two others I use, but there was one particularly I used for my Daily Stoic post.
After updating MicroBlog to version 3, the action gave an error, essentially overwriting part of the URL with ‘code characters’ so then I had to edit what was fine in drafts so it worked in MicroBlog. Annoying.
I think that the only thing that changed was the MB upgrade.
Today I took a closer look - and couldn’t work it out.
So I just reinstalled the action and voila - working again … I think. 🤞🏼
Also found another action - so now I have 4 of them!

If you are reading this post on my site, you will see that this link is rendered as an embedded video at the bottom of the post. (THANKYOU @rknightuk]. It will render just fine - unless the video owner wants you to watch it over on YouTube (and to be fair - there are very good reasons for that). If that happens, click on the link above and you will be taken to YouTube. The 'error' is only because the creator wants you to got to YouTube to watch it. That said - on rare occasions, it might actually be broken. If it is - sorry about that - try sending me an email and I will check if I made an error.

🎥 The Mother, 2023 - ★★★
It’s JLo, so it wasn’t going to be bad … and it wasn’t … though predictable … like the bad guy who never dies. Interesting that director and writers all women.
Apple is expected to finally announce the release of a mixed-reality headset in early June at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference. (We aren’t holding our breath, though. A headset announcement was rumored to be on the docket in 2020, and then again last year, and again in January.)
Exactly … rumors …
Just watch … if there is no announcement the headlines will change to ‘Apple delays ….’

Reminded me of the Microblog sessions on Friday.
What if we encouraged local communities?

TIL that Trader Joe’s sells more food per square foot than any other grocery store.
