There's a new Amazon bot launching today: `Amzn-SearchBot`
"...used to improve search experiences in Amazon products and services...such as Alexa and Rufus. Amzn-SearchBot does not crawl content for generative AI model training."
Doc page shows user-agent & links to source IP list.
Looks like it *does* obey `robots.txt` at least.

I got the The Oracle archetype!
Неимоверно устаю. Не знаю даже почему видимо проблемы со сдоровьем и общая запущенность тушки. Но после каждого рабочего дня чувсвую себя еще более разбито. За выходные не успеваю полностью восстановиться. В пятницу дак я вообще как правило зомби. Самое обидно при всем том что я хочу постоянно спать. Уснуть крайне тяжело.
If you want to add more security to your Mastodon account, you can set up a system called "two factor authentication" (also known as 2FA). This prevents anyone else logging into your account even if they find out your email and password.
2FA works using a special app on your phone which gives you a short code number to type in when you log in.
I've done a non-technical guide all about 2FA and how to use it, including answers to many questions:

I tried making a Neocities account today. I was stopped dead in my tracks by an unlabeled field with protected input in the signup form. I thought it was the password field, but there's a labeled password field with protected input a little further down, so I have no idea what that first one is. Just a little further down is an hcaptcha challenge that forces me to give my email address to hcaptcha because hcaptcha can't be bothered to implement actual accessibility

Multiple times now Firefox has thrown away all my tabs and I don't know why.
Thank the BSD gods I can just restore the ~/.mozilla/firefox directory from a ZFS snapshot that was taken an hour earlier

After my talk at @gnome Asia Summit, I’ve published the source code of Jollpi, a Python-based text editor I’m rewriting with a modern stack.
Built with Python 3, @GTK 4 and GtkSourceView 5, using a modern async architecture and standard Python packaging (pyproject.toml, pip).
It installs cleanly and integrates like a regular Linux desktop app.
Feel free to try it and share feedback.

Shuffle has always been one of Spotify’s most-used features, and also one of the most misunderstood. For years, listeners have debated whether Shuffle is “truly random,” often noticing patterns or repeated tracks that didn’t feel random enough.Spotify Engineering

No, but I wish we were.
Almost everything about 'modern' desktops is worse than what we had 20 years ago.

A lot of big political stuff is happening in Bulgaria right now and I can't inform myself properly because I don't know which sources are good and reliable. Thank you oligarch media, Russian propaganda and conspiracy weirdos poisoning the online discourse.
Сигурен съм, че тук има и българи, които четат постовете. Имате ли съвет и препоръки?
@tardis Thanks for the reply. I believe I understand how you feel. I tuned myself out of all news and public conversation back in 2019 (having never participated much in the first place) and cut almost all of my ties to Bulgaria in 2021. I'm getting whiplash reading the news, as most of the names and political parties mean nothing to me. I don't know what the current discourse is and I'm not going to bother you with it. A part of me just wants to be hopeful, as scarred as I am.
Regarding gen-Z: as a student of sociology I should know better, since the current consensus is that generations don't actually exist. I only acknowledge it as a self-label that many find useful for social identification. For the sake of acting according to my knowledge I should probably stop using it...

@janantos no jo, kdyby na plyn, spíš pořád na uhlí... ale poprvé se celoročně dostali přes 50% z OZE...
Německo ale má na rozdíl od nás větrnou energii ze Severního moře..
CDU ty dvě zakonzervované bavorské chtěla znovu spustit, ale dodavatel paliva prý požadoval odebrat palivo na 10 let dopředu, nebo tak něco.
Taky Německo samozřejmě stejně jako my nemá trvalé úložiště vyhořelého paliva.
@xChaos @janantos @schmaker @jackc @chick_enheart nedostali se poprvé, nad 50 % jsou od roku 2022:
2022 - 50 %
2023 - 58 %
2024 - 61 %
2025 - 61 %
My máme pořád o 40 % vyšší uhlíkovou intenzitu výroby elektřiny než Němci a teď to vypadá, že si to uhlí budeme ještě dotovat. Větší obavy bych tedy v tomto ohledu měl spíš o nás než o Němce.

Another take that I have seen way too much, in response to this and other violent attacks against Jews, is almost too awful for me to summarize. It is the idea that the attack could be justified if the victims were all “Zionists.”All these people, sitting with their phones or computers, fantasizing over which Jews they will spare in the selection, and which of us they will slaughter. They most likely have “anti-fascist” in their bio, but they are Nazis in their souls, salivating over Nazi daydreams as their hobby.

Cheap and accessible Bluetooth bathroom scales anyone?
(I say Bluetooth here because I assume that'd be cheaper than a blind-specific product.)

in reply to miki • • •@miki Yeah I agree, they're definitely trying to make a clear distinction.
I suspect orgs are becoming increasingly likely to outright block bots which pull content to train LLMs for whatever reason so perhaps they're trying to avoid that.
Would be nice if they were a bit more open on the detail of what they *are* going to use the bot for though.
