How to (try to) block #IA scrapers with a tailored `robots.txt`:

You may want to use:
[Dark Visitor](darkvisitors.com/)

And:

[ai.robots.txt](github.com/ai-robots-txt/ai.ro…)

Adding to the list the `robots.txt` by #VLC:

robots.txt references are unfortunately quite prone to cargo-culting. I find ai.robots.txt to be generally misleading. Lots of the UAs they list aren’t used to train generative AI.

AdsBot-Google, for instance, doesn’t do anything if you don’t use Google Ads; Google uses GoogleBot-Extended to train its GenAI offerings.

For image2dataset, it’s better to use a noai meta robots directive and allow it to crawl to properly opt out of indexing, should it stumble upon a cached copy of your page.

Hey @bagder, I was wondering about the default Rust install command:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf sh.rustup.rs | sh

Is the restriction on --proto to =https strictly required? Will curl switch to http even given an https URL?

Is the restriction to TLSv1.2 strictly required? Will curl downgrade to TLSv1.1 or SSLv3 if the server suggests it?

The -s and -S are fine, but I'd probably live with the stderr output for the sake of command brevity. The -f seems reasonable though.

I was curious about how the new vulkan-based GSK renderer that shipped with gnome 46 worked so I took a peek using renderdoc. Here is a breakdown animation of each draw call (highlighted with the wireframe overlay):

@ebassi Makes sense. I like simple and it performs well enough on my hardware (although it's clearly not in the low end).

I'm a bit surprised that batching only helps in benchmarks since it makes a big difference in Firefox for typical content, but again, different workloads. You've spent the time investigating these things in GTK, so I believe you.

in reply to Nicolas Silva

the main benefit for batching in GTK UIs is text, and that's using an atlas already; our worst case is a screenful of random glyphs in a virtual terminal emulator. Icons are less of an issue in UIs—and they require premultiplication when getting into the atlas. Further batching is complicated by colorisation of symbolic icons, gradients, and shadows in UI elements.

Mercedes boss call for decreasing Chinese EV tariffs in the EU: ft.com/content/acbba7e2-6aa9-4…

Very unusual. I'm guessing this is linked to the risk of reprisals. So part of the EU car industry is in favour of higher tariffs because they don't have production in China, and some is against.

New bookmark: ActivityPub on a (mostly) static website.

There have been other attempts to document the process of bringing ActivityPub to a (mostly) static site, but this is my favorite so far. I wonder if I should give it a go, if POSSE ever stops serving my needs.

Česko je pokud vím unikátní v tom, že každý občan má přístup do lesa — i když je ten les privátně vlastněný. Třeba v USA to tak není, a můžu vám říct, že jsem to tam vnímal jako dost důležitý rozdíl.

Teď se nějaká lobby snaží změnit zákon tak, aby si mohli vlastníci lesů přístup veřejnosti zakázat.

Podepsal jsem proti tomu petici zde: lesyprovsechny.cz/

in reply to brabitom

@brabitom no u nás teď právě naštěstí oplotit nejde. Je to složitá diskuze, ale lesy teď slouží i celé společnosti, nejen těm, kteří byli úspěšnější v získávání pozemků, ať už pílí nebo schopností nakrást co jde.

Možná bych na to přemýšlení šel od hub. Velká část populace houbaří a najednou by místa, kam jít, začala mizet. Projet se na kole, zajít si na procházku sám nebo se psem... Prostě to teď máme skvělý všichni, proč o to přijít kvůli pár stovkám lidí?

in reply to brabitom

No můj majetek-moje pravidla je sice vcelku hezký takřka anarchokapitalistický sen, ale od reálu daleko. Kdyby byl průchozí, pak naopak by bylo radno si rychle kus lesa koupit a žít si tam zcela autonomně, a nepouštět tam krom těch houbařů a čundráků ani státní úředníky a podobnou veteš ;) Ve finále to opatření proti vstupu dle mého odhadu projde až ve chvíli, kdy byde dost velkomajitelů, kteří si ten zákon korupčně prolobují.

  • Nuke fsebugoutzone.org, the new home of FreeSpeechExtremist. FSE/FBZ receipts. Thresholds for adding a dolain to FediNuke are lower if there are receipts showing that the domain is run by the same people as another FediNuke domain.

Apple Vision Pro is a sales flop, production is slashed, and an update ain’t coming next year.

Can we all stop pretending that VR has any big demand beyond gaming? Because beyond the novelty factor, that’s the one good use for VR.

The problem with the Vision Pro is it isn’t a gaming device. Even if it were, gamers aren’t going to pay $3500 for something that doesn’t play their Steam library.

#VeryHotTake: All #Conscription is inherently bad and irredeemable!

Instead:

  • allow people not only to defende themselves by owning the means of defending as civilians.
  • Pay people to want to do the risky jobs that need to be done [i.e. Firefighter] so good that there will always be more fitting applicants than vacancies.
  • Build your nation to be worth fighting for!

Otherwise Conscription is just legalized #ForcedLabour with legalized #DeathPenalty combined.

Because you don't want conscripts because if the only thing that keeps armed people fighting for you or fighting on your side is their fear of getting shot, then it's an absurd idea to arm them at all...

Someone please provide me an actual rational reason why we allow forcibly conscripted people to carry machineguns but not the law-abiding average citizen they're forcibly recruited from.

  • If you don't trust your Average Joe to own, carry and properly [not] use a firearm, then why would you trust a cop or soldier to be any better?
  • After all it is proven record that you'll find above average amounts of people embracing violence in the military and police, since they usually are chosen there because of those mild sociopathic tendencies.
