This is not the first time someone has experienced this and written or generated an article on the Internet which made front-page HN. Nor is it the one hundred thousandth time this someone has experienced this and not written or generated a

I don't get this thing where "X killed people. Oh, just like Y killed people" when X and Y are entirely unrelated . If you say "Ukraine kills people in the war? Well Russia also kills people in the war" at least th

It sounds like the same class of application as vulnerability finding: try a million dumb things, and one of them can work. No human would try all one million, but a big enough computer can.

All of these entities are competing ruthlessly to extract as much value from each other as possible. When they don't compete, the ones they're competing with steal their lunch. See: supermarket monopsonies in Australia pushing f

It is not possible that they won't be able to pay it off, but it is possible they will not pay it off anyway, and it is also possible that they will repay it with useless scraps of green paper.

It depends what you mean by "not allowed". Breaking ToS isn't a crime, but you might be sued for damages, but how can they show there were any damages?

You don't need an ISP or Google either. It's incredibly difficult for some people to leave either, but it's also incredibly difficult for some people to leave Twitter.

Cooperation is possible, and can become the dominant strategy under certain conditions. However, those conditions are currently not present.

Please do share with the other instance operators in #nitter:matrix.org!

Nitter has to be logged into an account to read tweets so it can show them to you. Elon made it quite difficult to make even one account, let alone many. If you have an unused registered account, some Nitter instance operator would be happy

AFAIK it's been interpreted that getting public data while being someone the data holder doesn't like is, unusually, one of the very few things that is not a CFAA violation. Bright Data vs X for example.

Did you know that Facebook got started by scraping MySpace using people's real accounts they provided the passwords for, and Reddit got started by anonymously copying popular posts from Slashdot and Digg? Were these correct actions?

It's interesting to think about what is actually so good about YouTube. Is it being able to go to the homepage and see a bunch of stuff to click on? Nebula has that. I signed up to Nebula to support alternative platforms, yet I still c

By setting that up, you take on the liability for it. The defendant is whoever set it up. No different from "if I roll a car down a hill and it hits something at the bottom, how can you hold the car liable?"

Breaking terms of service isn't a crime, at least, although the company is legally permitted to retaliate against it, such as by banning you.
