This headline sucks. It suggest that AI crawlers' bad behavior isn't intentional. Robots.txt has existed for ages, and crawler operators know exactly how to play nice. They simply choose not to. Media outlets need to stop attribut

Waterfox looks worth a try, but I opted for LibreWolf because it's verified on Flathub and Waterfox is not. It looks like the Flathub version of Waterfox was packaged the same BrowserWorks Ltd that makes Waterfox, but they didn't

Not OP, but I escaped Authy over a year ago and I've been happy with 2FAS on Android. Aegis is also very good. 2FAS has backup to Google Drive. Aegis does Android Cloud Backup. Aegis is available on FDroid. IIRC I chose 2FAS for purely

A huge part of the problem is that this information is not "on the front page". Regular people never see it. Foxnews doesn't run these stories and local TV stations are all mostly owned by Sinclair Broadcast Grp. Only people

I gave Ramalama shot today. I'm very impressed. `uvx ramalama run deepseek-r1:1.5b` just works™ for me. And that's saying A LOT, because I'm running Fedora Kinoite (KDE spin of Silverblue) with nothing layered on the ostree.

If you're on KDE check out Karousel. It's a KDE Kwin script that does this type of scrollable tiling right inside KDE. Works great on my ultrawide monitor. https://store.kde.org/p/2045724

I feel like this existed in the 90's; Basically a web browser where every page was a chat room. Maybe I'm confusing it with ThePalace or WorldsChat.
