Google’s removal of its search function is going great btw

(A reminder that if you have Firefox/ublock origin this won’t be a problem if you don’t wanna switch search engines to DuckDuckGo)

Google Search as you know it is over | TechCrunch

Google is transforming Search from a list of links into an AI-powered experience filled with conversational answers, autonomous agents, and

The era of the “ten blue links” is officially over. 

At its Google I/O conference on Tuesday, Google unveiled an AI-powered overhaul of Search centered around a reimagined “intelligent search box” — what the company describes as the biggest change to this entry point to the web since the search box debuted more than 25 years ago.

Instead of returning a simple list of links, Google Search will drop users into AI-powered interactive experiences at times. Google is also introducing tools that can dispatch “information agents” to gather information on a user’s behalf, along with tools that let users build personalized mini apps tailored to their needs.

The resulting experience will no longer look much like how people envision Google Search, which has long been defined by ranked links to websites that have the information you need.

With the revamped Search experience, the new search box simply expands to accommodate longer, more conversational queries, rather than making you decide what type of search experience or mode you want to choose at the start of your query. It will also have a new AI-powered query suggestion system that goes beyond autocomplete to help people craft more complex and nuanced queries, Google says.

Google’s AI Overviews will also allow users to ask follow-up questions in AI Mode, beginning Tuesday, the company noted.

Spring 2026 Review

It was a very above-average spring for most of the country.

Many places had either a top-5 warmest spring, or overall warmest spring on record

A great and terrible thing about being a Lego fan is that one persons MOC shared online and suddenly you’re seriously debating dropping money on a set you’d previously had absolutely no interest, especially if it’s for a unique piece or minifig.

My current case case in point, a D&D style reimagining of Things Apartment from the Wednesday line

Because generally a data center just needs, at most, a zoning adjustment (often it doesn't even need that) and a building inspection but is otherwise a private endeavor that can set its own pace, whereas government projects are by nature slowed by excruciating amounts of bureaucracy every single step of the way, from initial budget approval, to design review, to hosting public comment session on the design, to pretending to revise the design based on public comment, to going back to public comment, to finally approving the design, to getting approval to bid out the contract for the work, to waiting for the procurement office to settle on which bid to accept, to going back for approval to actually enter into the contract (and actually, I skipped the part where they would have had to do all that for the design phase too), to finding out the contractor underbid and now has to go back for approval for additional funds, to now one of the electeds has decided that the park needs to have [insert pet project feature] so now they have to redo the design to incorporate that and now the contractor wants more money because the scope changed which means we're going back for funding approval yet again and if it was a big enough change, we might be going back to public comment too, to...

Seriously I wish I was kidding
