oh, but it's the exact opposite. the people IRL tend to react to censorship and surveillance with the word пидорасы , while the regime's eunuchs on the Internet defend it. maybe having lived under the Soviets makes my people less

yes, but a few dedicated hoarders could keep many models alive, and I'm fairly certain the local LLM community has plenty of people who would.

you must have plenty of unambiguous evidence then, given how numerous such goodthinking individuals apparently are. where do these paragons of civil obedience congregate? how do they express their wishes for less freedom and more surveillan

ditto. I never actually studied English, so I just YOLO the articles most of the time. tenses too, really. whenever I look something up, there are caveats and irregularities, and I give up. I know, in my heart of hearts, that I sound painfu

by far the blackest magic I ever saw for that game. I'm an upper intermediate at Factorio, resorting to someone else's blueprints only for belt balancers and rail intersections, and I can't even begin to figure out how it&#x2

is it possible to access somehow? it seems the site got excluded because of robots.txt set by some domain squatter, not manually.

unrelated: if a website gets hit with "This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine", do existing snapshots get purged or may they still be preserved somewhere?

https://www.populationpyramid.net/ukraine/2026/ 40M is grossly overestimated. even UA officials admit it's closer to 20M now. https://www.populationpyramid.net/russian-federation/2026&#x2

idk about Uganda, but some of the other estimates on that website are wildly inaccurate.

that's how it would've been up if genai happened in the 90's, and I wish it did. in the current era of omnipartisan authoritarianism, such things are no longer possible.

people have been putting their fuckass blogs with 0.5 visitors a day behind Cloudflare long before the increase in bot traffic. and that increase makes fuck all any difference for them anyway.

I think curated directories from prehistory might make a comeback eventually, maybe combined with a search engine that indexes only the whitelisted websites. ironically, we can use LLMs to filter out AI slop by measuring the signal-to-noise

which, unfortunately, empowers the professional crybullies behind such articles further. imagine the current year reaction to the Judas Priest trial. we'd have instagram newspeak like "unalive" in album titles and song lyrics

not just the internet, but every commercially published written work in existence, and I doubt their highly publicized destructive scanning thing had managed to legitimize even a fraction of a percent. this what is permissible for Jupiter
