The No reads as follows:

In a first, the Japan Fair Trade Commission has issued a cease-and-desist order against Google, accusing it of violating the country's anti-monopoly law by forcing manufacturers to preinstall its apps in smartphones. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2025/04/15/companies/google-anti-monopoly-law/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #business #companies #google #phones #bigtech #search #ftc #tech #apps

I’m going to stay up at night resisting the urge to leave this #search query in my #digital exhaust.

mastodon.scotBodhipaksa (@bodhipaksa@mastodon.scot)My partner just used the expression "balls to the wall," and while I understand what the expression means, I'm at a loss to how it arose. In what busy circumstances would one have one's genitals pressed up against a wall?

I'm wondering if anyone knows of an existing technical solution for this:

I would like to run something like a #DokuWiki internally to collect and manage #information for employees.
On top of that, I'd love to have a #search system where users can ask questions in natural language, and the system would either:
+ understand the question and answer it based on the knowledge stored in the #wiki, or
+ point users directly to the relevant section or page within the wiki.

Does anything like this already exist?
#Recommendations are very welcome!
