This article was not convincing. The first half of a article seems to be the author rebutting their own meme, which I've never heard of. The main point of the second article is: > What sounds more effective for pulling the player to

I guess I'm not reading the article then, since I'm not human.

The link is to a random Mastodon post ranting about the change. I think it would be better if it linked to the actual blog post from Let's Encrypt: https://letsencrypt.org/2025/05/14/ending-tls-client-aut

Kind of unrelated, but Gemma 3's weights are unfree, so perhaps LLaVA ( https://ollama.com/library/llava ) would be a good alternative.

I second this. Memos was really useful for me before I switched to Joplin, though there was some UI issues with the mobile web interface when I used it (Moe Memoes is new to me, though!). Additionally, Memos is libre software, which Journel

This is what the "AI will be a normal technology" camp is telling the "AI is going to put us all out of work!" camp all along. It's always been like this.

Ethics is also not as simple as "the author's wishes are always to be respected". For instance, free software was built on the ethical principle that restrictions on users' four fundamental freedoms (whether that be lega

I think back to the original idea of free software. The GPL protects users from any restrictions the author wants to use. No additional restrictions are allowed, whether technical or legal. In this case, the restriction is social, but is a

Does anyone know if static caches work? No one seems to have replied to that point. It seems like a simple and user-friendly solution.

Not all DDoSes are AI-related, and not all AI scrapers are DDoSes.

This tool does block JavaScript-disabled browsers though. There's a comment here that complained about the pain Anubis causes with cookie-less browsers, but they got downvoted.

My issue with Meta's open-washing is that it is also not open-weight, given the license restrictions. It's "weight-available", I suppose. Try OLMo instead.

I use both and celebrate both. I suspect it's due to programmers being more familiar with being automated (e.g. compilers, website builders, libraries) as well as a more FLOSS-friendly culture, while art communities have a more "d

My pet peeve is that using the term "AI crawler" for this conflates things unnecessarily. There's some people who are angry at it due to anti-AI bias and not wishing to share information, while there are others who are more c
