So I'm just sitting here right, scrolling on my phone.

I open the YouTube app. Apparently, because I'm located in Czechia and time of day is Eurovision time, I get immediately jumpscared by an AD FOR VOTING ISRA/EL'S SONG.

They literally paid for fucking ads for their shitty genocide song 😭

Fucking 'the Isra/el's government advertising agency'. What a bunch of clowns. Why do you unlike every other country need to pay for ads for your song? Are you perhaps worried you're gonna get 0 votes?

My favorite part about election cycles are getting violently transphobic ads that make me feel bad about myself and no matter how many times I block or report them they are still the only ads I get!!

Google is actively blocking Captcha on Firefox

Firefox users have noticed that captchas - both the picture kind and the click the box kind - are not resolving on Firefox. Tests on Chromium based browsers show that it works perfectly fine on them. It is also known that Chrome will be disabling all ad-blockers in June when it moves to Manifest v3, which will greatly limit what extensions can do.

If you use Firefox, there is an extension called User-Agent Switcher and it allows you to change your browser's UA to Chrome. This will allow you to bypass reCaptcha/Captcha blocks set up by Google and make them function properly.

It could be a code snafu on Google's part - but given how predatory they have been acting lately, I'm going to guess not. Don't get locked out of your websites or feel forced to use Chrome again just to browse.

UPDATE: This has been fixed as of 5/4/2024 and no longer affects Firefox. It was a bug in the most recent update of the Captcha code. Hopefully it won't happen again!

You Have until June To Dump Chrome

Google has announced that starting in June 2024, ad blockers such as uBlock Origin will be disabled in Chrome 127 and later with the rollout of Manifest V3 (#Mv3).

Firefox is RIGHT there

Google Unveils Gemini-Powered Conversational Tool for Effortless Search Ad Campaigns

In a significant update, Google has integrated its Gemini family of multimodal large language models to enhance the conversational experience within the Google Ads platform.

This latest feature aims to simplify the process for advertisers to swiftly create and expand their Search ad campaigns.

The conversational experience is a chat-based tool designed to facilitate the construction of Search campaigns.

Leveraging your website URL, the tool generates relevant ad content, encompassing assets and keywords.

It goes further by suggesting campaign-specific images through generative AI, drawing from both generative AI and your website's existing images.

Google emphasizes that images created with generative AI will be clearly identified.

Before campaigns go live, advertisers have the opportunity to review and approve the suggested images and text.

The beta access to this conversational experience in Google Ads is now accessible to English language advertisers in the U.S. and U.K.

Global access for English language advertisers will gradually roll out over the next few weeks, with plans to extend access to additional languages in the coming months.

Shashi Thakur, Google’s VP and GM of Google Ads, mentioned in a blog post,

"Over the last few months, we’ve been testing the conversational experience with a small group of advertisers. We observed that it helps them build higher quality Search campaigns with less effort."

This innovative tool joins Google's suite of AI-powered tools for advertisers, following the introduction of "Product Studio" a few months ago.

Product Studio enables merchants and advertisers to leverage text-to-image AI capabilities, creating new product imagery and enhancing existing images for free by inputting prompts.

This announcement aligns with Google's broader effort to infuse AI across its products.

Recently, the company unveiled three new AI-powered features for Chrome, introducing functionalities like tab organization, theme customization, and assistance with online activities like writing reviews or forum posts.

As the tech giant continues to integrate AI innovations, advertisers can leverage these tools to streamline campaign creation and enhance the overall advertising experience.

Introduction: Welcome to the ever-evolving world of digital marketing, where strategies and trends change at a rapid pace. As we step into 2024, the digital landscape continues to evolve, presenting new challenges and opportunities for marketers. In this blog post, we'll explore the latest updates and trends that are shaping the realm of digital marketing in 2024.

The Rise of AI and Machine Learning: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are no longer just buzzwords; they are becoming integral components of digital marketing strategies. Marketers are leveraging AI to analyze vast amounts of data, personalize user experiences, and optimize campaign performance. Expect to see more AI-driven tools and platforms that streamline marketing processes and enhance targeting precision.

Video Dominance Continues: Video content remains a powerhouse in the digital marketing landscape. Short-form videos, live streaming, and interactive video experiences are gaining traction. Platforms like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts are reshaping how brands connect with their audience. Incorporating video into your marketing strategy will be essential for capturing and maintaining audience attention.

Ephemeral Content Takes Center Stage: Ephemeral content, such as stories on platforms like Instagram, Snapchat, and Facebook, is gaining popularity. The temporary nature of these posts creates a sense of urgency, encouraging real-time engagement. Marketers should focus on creating engaging and authentic ephemeral content to connect with audiences in the moment.

The Era of Conversational Marketing: Conversational marketing, powered by chatbots and messaging apps, is becoming more prevalent. Brands are using chatbots to provide instant customer support, personalized recommendations, and interactive experiences. Integrating conversational elements into your marketing strategy can enhance customer engagement and satisfaction.

Privacy-First Marketing: With increasing concerns about data privacy, marketers need to prioritize user privacy in their strategies. Regulations like GDPR and CCPA have set the stage for a privacy-first approach. Marketers should focus on obtaining explicit user consent, transparent data practices, and ethical use of customer information.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Evolves: SEO continues to evolve with search engines becoming more sophisticated. Marketers should pay attention to Core Web Vitals, mobile optimization, and user experience factors. Additionally, the growing importance of voice search and visual search means that diversifying SEO strategies will be crucial for maintaining visibility.

Social Commerce on the Rise: Social media platforms are increasingly becoming shopping destinations. Social commerce is gaining momentum as platforms like Instagram and Facebook integrate shopping features directly into their interfaces. Marketers should optimize their social media presence to facilitate seamless shopping experiences for users.

Augmented Reality (AR) in Marketing: AR is finding its way into marketing campaigns, providing immersive and interactive experiences. Brands are using AR for product try-ons, virtual showrooms, and engaging AR filters on social media. Integrating AR elements into marketing efforts can enhance brand engagement and create memorable experiences for consumers.

Conclusion: As we embrace the challenges and opportunities of 2024, staying informed about the latest digital marketing updates is crucial for success. By incorporating these trends into your strategy, you'll be well-positioned to navigate the dynamic digital landscape and connect with your audience in meaningful ways. Keep experimenting, stay agile, and embrace the transformative power of digital marketing in the years to come.

Preindustrial travel, and long explanations on why different distances are like that

Update March 1, 2024: Hey there folks, here's yet another update! I reposted Part 2a (the "medieval warhorses" tangent) to my writing blog, and I went down MORE of the horse-knowledge rabbit hole! https://www.tumblr.com/jadevine/741423906984951808/my-post-got-cut-off-so-i-added-the-rest-of-it Update Jan 30, 2024: Hey folks, I've posted the updated version of this post on my blog, so I don't have to keep frantically telling everyone "hey, that's the old version of this post!" https://thebalangay.wordpress.com/2024/01/29/preindustrial-travel-times-part-1/

I should get the posts about army travel times and camp followers reformatted and posted to my blog around the end of the week, so I'll filter through my extremely tangled thread for them.

--

I saw a post on my main blog about how hiking groups need to keep pace with their slowest member, but many hikers mistakenly think that the point of hiking is "get from Point A to Point B as fast as possible" instead of "spending time outdoors in nature with friends," and then they complain that a new/less-experienced/sick/disabled hiker is spoiling their time-frame by constantly needing breaks, or huffing and puffing to catch up.

I run into a related question of "how long does it take to travel from Point A to Point B on horseback?" a lot, as a fantasy writer who wants to be SEMI-realistic; in the Western world at least, our post-industrial minds have largely forgotten what it's like to travel, both on our own feet and in groups.

People ask the new writer, "well, who in your cast is traveling? Is getting to Point B an emergency or not? What time of year is it?", and the newbies often get confused as to why they need so much information for "travel times." Maybe new writers see lists of "preindustrial travel times" like a primitive version of Google Maps, where all you need to do is plug in Point A and Point B.

But see, Google Maps DOES account for traveling delays, like different routes, constructions, accidents, and weather; you as the person will also need to figure in whether you're driving a car versus taking a bus/train, and so you'll need to figure out parking time or waiting time for the bus/train to actually GET THERE.

The difference between us and preindustrial travelers is that 1) we can outsource the calculations now, 2) we often travel for FUN instead of necessity.

The general rule of thumb for preindustrial times is that a healthy and prime-aged adult on foot, or a rider/horse pair of fit and prime-aged adults, can usually make 20-30 miles per day, in fair weather and on good terrain.

Why is this so specific? Because not everyone in preindustrial times was fit, not everyone was healthy, not everyone was between the ages of 20-35ish, and not everyone had nice clear skies and good terrain to travel on.

If you are too far below 18 years old or too far past 40, at best you will need either a slower pace or more frequent breaks to cover the same distance, and at worst you'll cut the travel distance in half to 10 or so miles. Too much walking is VERY BAD on too-young/old knees, and teenagers or very short adults may just have short legs even if they're fine with 8-10 hours of actual walking. Young children may get sick of walking and pitch a fit because THEY'RE TIREDDDDDDDDDD, and then you might need to stay put while they cry it out, or an adult may sigh and haul them over their shoulder (and therefore be weighed down by about 50lbs of Angry Child).

Heavy forests, wetlands and rocky hills/mountains are also going to be a much shorter "distance" per day. For forests or wetlands, you have to account for a lot of villagers going "who's gonna cut down acres of trees for one road? NOT ME," or "who's gonna drain acres of swamp for one road? NOT ME." Mountainous regions have their traveling time eaten by going UP, or finding a safer path that goes AROUND, so by the time you're done slogging through drier patches of wetlands or squeezing through trees, a deceptively short 10-15 miles in rough terrain might take you a whole day to walk instead of the usual half-day.

If you are traveling in freezing winters or during a rainstorm (and this inherently means you HAVE NO CHOICE, because nobody in preindustrial times would travel in bad weather if they could help it), you run the high risk of losing your way and then dying of exposure or slipping and breaking your neck, just a few miles out of the town/village.

Traveling in TOO-HOT weather is just as bad, because pushing yourself too hard and getting dehydrated at noon in the tropics will literally kill you. It's called heat-STROKE, not "heat-PARTY."

And now for the upper range of "traveling on horseback!"

Fully mounted groups can usually make 30-40 miles per day between Point A and Point B, but I find there are two unspoken requirements: "Point B must have enough food for all those people and horses," and "the mounted party DOESN'T need to keep pace with foot soldiers, camp followers, or supply wagons."

This means your mounted party would be traveling to 1) a rendezvous point like an ally's camp or a noble's castle, or 2) a town/city with plenty of inns. Maybe they're not literally going 30-40 miles in one trip, but they're scouting the area for 15-20 miles and then returning to their main group. Perhaps they'd be going to an allied village, but even a relatively small group of 10-20 warhorses will need 10-20 pounds of grain EACH and 20-30 pounds of hay EACH. 100-400 pounds of grain and 200-600 pounds of hay for the horses alone means that you need to stash supplies at the village beforehand, or the village needs to be a very large/prosperous one to have a guaranteed large surplus of food.

A dead sprint of 50-60 miles per day is possible for a preindustrial mounted pair, IF YOU REALLY, REALLY HAVE TO. Moreover, that is for ONE day. Many articles agree that 40 miles per day is already a hard ride, so 50-60 miles is REALLY pushing the envelope on horse and rider limits.

NOTE: While modern-day endurance rides routinely go for 50-100 miles in one day, remember that a preindustrial rider will not have the medical/logistical support that a modern endurance rider and their horse does.

If you say "they went fifty miles in a day" in most preindustrial times, the horse and rider's bodies will get wrecked. Either the person, their horse, or both, risk dying of exhaustion or getting disabled from the strain.

Whether you and your horse are fit enough to handle it and "only" have several days of defenselessness from severe pain/fatigue (and thus rely on family/friends to help you out), or you die as a heroic sacrifice, or you aren't QUITE fit enough and become disabled, or you get flat-out saved by magic or another rider who volunteers to go the other half, going past 40 miles in a day is a "Gondor Calls For Aid" level of emergency.

As a writer, I feel this kind of feat should be placed VERY carefully in a story: Either at the beginning to kick the plot off, at the climax to turn the tide, or at the end.

Preindustrial people were people--some treated their horses as tools/vehicles, and didn't care if they were killed or disabled by pushing them to their limits, but others very much cared for their horses. They needed to keep them in working condition for about 15-20 years, and they would not dream of doing this without a VERY good reason.

UPDATE January 13: Several people have gotten curious and looked at maps, to find out how a lot of cities are indeed spread out at a nice distance of 20-30 miles apart! I love getting people interested in my hyperfixations, lol.

But remember that this is the space between CITIES AND TOWNS. There should never be a 20-mile stretch of empty wilderness between City A and Town B, unless your world explains why folks are able to build a city in the middle of nowhere, or if something has specifically gone wrong to wipe out its supporting villages!

Period pieces often portray a shining city rising from a sea of picturesque empty land, without a single grain field or cow pasture in sight, but that city would starve to death very quickly in preindustrial times.

Why? Because as Bret Devereaux mentions in his “Lonely Cities” article (https://acoup.blog/2019/07/12/collections-the-lonely-city-part-i-the-ideal-city/), preindustrial cities and towns must have nearby villages (and even smaller towns, if large and prosperous enough!) to grow their food for them.

The settlements around a city will usually be scattered a few miles apart from each other, usually clustered along the roads to the city gates. Those villages and towns at the halfway point between cities (say 10-15 miles) are going to be essential stops for older/sick folks, merchants with cargo, and large groups like noble’s retinues and army forces.

Preindustrial armies and large noble retinues usually can’t make it far past 10-12 miles per day, as denoted in my addition to this post. (https://www.tumblr.com/jadevine/739342239113871360/now-for-a-key-aspect-that-many-people-often-ask )
