But also don’t give up your principles and use AI stuff if you’re against it. Hiring people who haven’t used it will be a marketable skill too

Yeah, you should start looking for a new role immediately.

I really doubt any legit user is using a weird user agent and an IP address in the same AS as an AI slop crawler

Yeah, virtually everyone I knew circa 1990 had a home computer. Mostly Spectrum and CPC. A few years later it was a few Amiga 500 too. The only “console” I had seen was the Atari VCS or a dedicated Pong machine. A few people got Game Boys a

Thanks for the link. I’ll have a look. I’m glad there’s no cryptocurrency involved (was never a concern) but I worry about the optics of something so closely associated. (I appreciate your commenting on this. I know the project recently ble

Thank you. This doesn't have everything I'm looking for, but apparently it has been packaged in Debian at least. I don't know why the website doesn't mention this.

Nobody is talking about a vibe coded app. I want to block AI scrapers entirely.

The proof of work stuff feels so cryptocurrency adjacent that I've been looking at other tools for my own thing, but I've seen Anubis on other websites and it seems to do a good job.

Yeah, this is just sad to hear.

I can't see how it can be fair use. Just follow the license, it's not that difficult. Microsoft will forever be a pariah if they get away with this. I'm putting my new code somewhere private anyway.

If you find a solution that’s not auth please let me know.

Open source software typically has a license. People not following the license isn’t tolerated. This is what AI scrapers are doing. They’re taking your code, your artwork and your writing without any consideration for the license.

We need a reasonable alternative to some of what Cloudflare does that can be easily installed as a package on Linux distributions without any of the following to install it. * curl | bash * Docker * Anything that smacks of cryptocurrency or

But you’re not getting anything. You’re just surfing to the Amaya website.

Yeah, any VCR purchased in the early 90s was still doing just fine when the late 90s and DVD players rolled around. But I’ve never heard of a “VHS player” —- always a VCR or a VTP for a playback only unit as uncommon as they were.

I’m sure multiple video parts is supposed to raise hype but it has the opposite effect on me.

No username, password, IMAP/POP server? sr.ht is the software forge this plain text email website is set up to promote.

by mattl 1y ago
I don't really understand how people are checking their email without configuring an email client, but then I realized I don't care and once again I should just never interact with anything from sr.ht

Your suggestion was that Mac users who want a a GUI should use homebrew. If that’s not gatekeeping I don’t know what to tell you.

by mattl 1y ago
It must be difficult for you to appreciate the idea of not gatekeeping email. If you’re trying to get people to use plain text email in 2025, Thunderbird is the only obvious choice for a GUI client. It runs everywhere and can be installed b

Shouldn't need Homebrew to install a GUI email client. Really shouldn't need to explain that, IMO.

What do you use? Not saying for a moment that anyone needs to use Facebook, but I'm curious if you use anything else...

Yet it’s missing from the recommendation list. I don’t think you’re going to get many people switching from mail.google.com to something in a terminal emulator straight away.

There’s no other cross platform GUI client I can think of.

Weird omission of some clients like Thunderbird from the list.
