Unfortunately none of the content on the Wikipedia page for him really criticises much of his work. He must be really good at being a “businessman” and killing tech innovation 🤣

After working 14 years at IBM, he became senior vice president and chief technology officer at enterprise search vendor Verity in 2004.[16][16=][14][14=][12][12=] In July 2005, he was hired by Yahoo! to lead Yahoo! Research in Sunnyvale, California.[17][17=] At Yahoo!, he worked on research projects including search and advertising.[15][15=][18][18=] In 2011, he was appointed as Yahoo!’s chief strategy officer.[19][19=]

In 2012, Prabhakar joined Google after severe funding cuts in Yahoo!’s research division.[19][19=] In 2018, he was > put in charge of Ads and Commerce at Google and in 2020 his scope was expanded to include Search, Geo, and Assistant.[20][20=] [21][21=]

In 2024, he transitioned to the role of Chief Technologist at Google.[2][2=]

@thecanine@twtxt.net I read this article and did some research. Wow! Amazing really how we can build really good tech, then kill it quietly all for the sake of more revenue and profits for shareholders 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de It’s stupid that this is geo blocked right? 😂 Must be hmmm 🤔

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Hmm

🥲

So amazing! 🤩

@xuu@txt.sour.is Fuxk you’re brilliant 😍

@xuu@txt.sour.is You’re lucky 🍀

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz You are right! 🤣 That was a really lovely rendition of that song! 🎧 🙌

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Sounds alright to me 😹

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz That’s thankfully not entirely true. There are some companies that are starting to realize that “Cloud” is actually more expensive and so we’re starting to see a bit of a migration back 🤞

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz I actually have experience building Caddy modules hmmm 🧐

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Interesting project 🤔

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Yes 🙌

Business trips / Off-Sites can be rather exhausting 😴

Yes

@xuu@txt.sour.is Nice! 👍

@movq@www.uninformativ.de This is pretty good, love the music 🎶 Haha 😆

@xuu@txt.sour.is Got a sample to show/share? 🤔

@thecanine@twtxt.net 👌

Kind of catchty 😄

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Bahahahahaha 😂

@xuu@txt.sour.is Oh wow! Thank you ! 🙏 And yeah even at 2x it sounds good enough to comprehend 🤣

@movq@www.uninformativ.de apparently very hard 😆

@movq@www.uninformativ.de I’d have to hear it to get it 🤣

(#uavwuqq) @eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me Nah, my pod seems to have the correct URL 🤣

@xuu@txt.sour.is Yeah looks like an edge case. Because of the way he announces his preferred nick in the feed the “Reply” button spits out @eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me for me, which then gets eaten as two mentions, probably matching twice against my following list?

@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me test

@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me I replied in the fork, but essentially there’s no reason we can’t support two different models here. We already do this anyway with numerous single-user, single hosted and managed feeds + a bunch of multi-user yarnd pods that form a “distributed network”.

@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me I think the general idea that we’re settling on here is that maybe we can build a simple solution to this whole “wtf is this hash?” problem. yarnd already forms a sort-of “distributed network” amongst its peers and whilsts uses Twtxt (of course) is both decentralised and distributed. Nothing wrong with that. – I tried to build a search engine and crawler, but getting that resource efficient and useful is hard™.

So if we can have a small network of participating members of the community forming a “distributed network” of the Twtxt™ space, we can solve this problem quite easily. We could even put some GeoDNS routing in place and a single A record/domain to make things even easier. Let’s call it s “Registry Service” if you will :)

@thecanine@twtxt.net 👀

@movq@www.uninformativ.de Same 😢

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev What a nice thing to say 🙇‍♂️

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Would it help if I documented the two protocols that yarnd uses today for this “distributed network”? 🧐

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Simple enough 👍

@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me I don’t think there’s anything wrong with an optional distributed network with participating members of the community. As long as it’s optional.

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev this is actually already achieved with yarnd

@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me So what was the definition of a web log back in the day? 🧐

@bender@twtxt.net Me neither 🙌

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Ita more so that with enough data you start to need an index

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev I agree 💯

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz We missed you too 🤗

You’re all wrong 😑 @anth@a.9srv.net will happily tell you (hopefully) that we’ve been doing this whole “microblogging” / “status update” thing decades earlier than anything you’ve ever seen in the form of finger 🤣 and “plan” files 😅

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Yeah okay, I’ll see if I can reproduce this silly nonsense version string 🤣 cheers! 🍻

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev Yeah I think @xuu@txt.sour.is has built some interesting stuff around this? 🤔

@andros@twtxt.andros.dev I’m not entirely sure what this means:

development that requires a database

Obviously I wasn’t in the discussion so I feel like I’m missing some context here 🤔

@doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt Actually that’s a fantastic idea 🙌

@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me 🤗😍

@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me@eapl.me No worries 🤗 My emotionally state are my own to sort out 🤣

@kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz Welcome back! 🙌
