[tantek] aaronpk, you have to click through to the “yes I really meant the damn thing I typed not the thing you redirected me to” prompt
#
[tantek] e.g. when I search, Google redirects to a search for “schadenfreude”
#
[tantek] e.g. “These are results for schadenfreude / Search instead for faschadenfreude”
#
[tantek] that’s what it shows *before* the text of any search results or Gemini. You have to click the word “faschadenfreude” to make it actually search for it
#
[tantek] looks like the “nfpr=1” param forces the “search for the thing I actually typed, not your autocorrected thing”
#
[tantek] https://www.google.com/search?q=faschadenfreude&nfpr=1
#
[tantek] tested in a private browsing window in FF
#
aaronpk oh i tried in gemini.google.com first
#
aaronpk interesting, clicking the "yes i meant it" in google.com also didn't work, but that nfpr=1 link does work
#
[tantek] oh nfpr is nice
#
[tantek] > In a Google search URL, nfpr stands for “No Force Policy Rewrite” (or commonly referred to as “No Auto-Correction”).
#
[tantek] autocorrection--
#
[tantek] gives Loqi a nudge
#
[tantek] who is Loqi?
#
[tantek] uh oh
#
[tantek] ^ aaronpk 🙃
#
[tantek] I need to go through all my Google Search URLs that I’ve linked to in blog posts and add “&nfpr=1” to them
#
aaronpk today is server migration day, i may have broken things
#
[tantek] hmm, this may be a good short indieweb blog post topic

#
thamara_k Nice! I have a /causes page which is similar

rubenwardy cedric: cool idea! I have too many pages :((
#
rubenwardy nav bar has limited space
#
thamara_k you can make a /slashpages page and put them all there xD

GWG I've been testing some code to proactively ping archive.org with URLs when I publish to avoid broken links if a site goes down. I'm wondering what people do about link rot... I remember discussions about it in past
#
offeringofpie rminds me of this post i read a few days ago. won't save us from link rot, but maybe curation https://blog.lauramichet.com/i-downloaded-a-website/
#
[tantek] GWG, believe there's a bunch about link rot and repair on the wiki but you'll have to search for yourself
#
GWG I tried, I'm missing keywords
#
[tantek] Really? Like https://indieweb.org/link_repair

[tantek] [capjamesg]++ for /acknowledgments — makes sense, like the acknowledgments in a book!
#
[tantek] Ages ago I remember some blogs used to list an “inspired by” somewhere, like on an about page, of the blogs they had read that inspired them to start blogging. That’s the closest I know of
#
[tantek] [capjamesg] closest we have as a current/related page is this https://indieweb.org/land_acknowledgment which is similar but not the same as your use
