So... getting ready for work and the first thing do is start the coffee maker. It made a few usual grinding noises as expected then *thump* blinking light. Something went wrong. I do what everyone does, look up the model and basic fault information in the search engine. Pages of AI slopumentation. Each link had a Cloudflare click through with zero specific information on the model, but the same decades old generic troubleshooting steps paraslopped for everything with different CSS/CMS layouts.
The search engine that everyone loves has zero relevant links into pages of slopfarms. So what did I do, lifted the cover and reseated the burr grinder, no tools required. Blinky light stopped and pushing the button again started making my drug.

@dianea@lgbtqia.space Ah yes, Alphabet has turned what was the best search engine into an alphabetslop of AI dross. I made the right move dumping them years ago, although DuckDuckGo has followed a similar trajectory albeit far less intrusive and you can opt out.
