Blocking AI crawlers on your servers is just like adding an ad/tracker blocker to your browser. An unfortunate necessity, because we can't have nice things anymore on the internet.
I feel like Netflix can't even decide what it wants to be nowadays. It shows mobile games, shows, movies, and now podcasts? What on earth are they doing?
Fediverse map nerds. I need your help.
I need to create maps that I can apply custom filter/styling to. My assumptions for doing this are:
- Export from OSM as SVG
- Import to Inkscape and apply styling
- Export to PNG
I have found a bunch of wiks and help pages, mostly centered around `josm` which does not work at all. (can't download large enough grids, can't import an OSM dump of "norway" due it being too much data).
I think I am pretty "good at computer" and literally nothing I've found works. At all. I can produce nothing.
How much one do what I'm trying to do?
Kinda wild in the big 2026 to launch a brand new website with the generative csam logo next your social media accounts
wait a minute how the hell do you access Airplay from Android
is this really still impossible in 2026? Sonos devices don't do Cast, they only do AirPlay (or native Sonos app stuff which sucks)
New essay: Blocking AI crawlers might be a bad idea - Disappearing from AI results won't make #AI go away

Blocking AI crawlers might be a bad idea
Instead of blocking AI crawlers out of frustration, content creators should embrace deep AI integrations to ensure accurate recommendations and better user experiences. Disappearing from AI results won't make AI go away.Michael Kennedy's Thoughts on Technology

sorry Michael, but saying "blocking AI crawlers might be a bad idea because it will make you disappear in the eyes of the consumer" has nothing to do with ones stance against AI, and all to do with ones business. I get that we all need to eat somehow, and "you gotta do what you gotta do" to drive your business forward, but the battle against AI crawlers and AI slop invading the internet is more about principle, ethics and trying to protect what's left of the authentic internet.
I'm a little amazed by the amount of CVEs released by OpenSSL today: openssl-library.org/news/vulne…
12(!) of them were reported by people at Aisle.
Aisle makes an AI-powered code analyzer. That's what they use to find these flaws.
I mean if you are curious what AI can do in Open Source security when used for good.

@dalias I know that's not the case because I also have access to such tools (made by others) and as I can run them on my own code I can see what they do and what they can find.
AI powered code analyzers is a real thing, and they make better code analyzers than the ones without the AI component.
@dalias you can easily also try that by running the AI powered code review tools. Clearly they work and find things. It's not a conspiracy.
I don't know, as a Malaysian, I have long been cynical about the freedom of speech online. Because it allows bad actors to act with inpunity.

Report: Malaysian cybertrooper teams employ full-time staff, used by politicians and businesses alike
KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 14 — Malaysia is among 81 countries where the manipulation of public opinion through social media remains a growing threat to democracies around the world, a...G. PRAKASH (Malay Mail)
I went to pottery class today and opened by asking several of my classmates if they knew how to use the slab roller upstairs. Nobody did but everyone wanted to, so when the teacher got in I’m like “hey teach, do you know how to use the slab roller upstairs” and she’s like “no” (she’s a visiting artist who only got here a couple months ago so this is not very surprising) “but I’ve used a lot of different ones and I bet we can figure it out.” Me: “do you want to go on a Journey of Discovery?” Everyone: yes. YES. *cue sickos faces* so we all thunder up the stairs periodically shouting JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY and our teacher snags another person who uses the slab roller A Lot and this person gives us a very thorough lesson and demonstration and every so often someone else wanders through and asks what’s happening and we all go JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY at them and now everyone knows how to use the slab roller and honestly I cannot recommend this approach enough as a way to make learning new skills and life generally more exciting.
My husband commented that he really liked the noises I make during sex. On the basis that more is better, I arranged a microphone and amplifier to give him more of it. Hearing myself put me right off it. Sometimes, electronic help isn't helpful.
Oh, so that's what it was! I got worried when the yodeling drifting in through my window stopped so suddenly.
I had a dream last night that Linux was renamed “systemdOS”. My reptilian brain seems to be too in touch with reality. Bring back the man eating snakes made out of rolls of insulation. At least that was tolerable.
I'm old enough to remember when ICE was a revolutionary technology to remove dust from scans.
Tady potichu sleduju konverzace o MeshCore a protože kolem HK je to s repeatery docela slabota, tak jsem objednal jeden na náš dům. Nemáme 100% ideální polohu, na jih a západ jsou lesy a na sever dálnice. Ale určitě to v současné situaci neublíží. Pokud to bude fungovat bezúdržbově, tak se zkusím domluvit s někým, kdo má střechu položenou lépe.

@sesivany Já mám nějaký kontakt do HKFree, tak to zkusím tam. Ale potřebuju to otestovat, že to chvíli přežije, ať k tomu nemusím jezdit.
jo, to je dilema. Máme tu v Brně možnost to dát na pár ideálních míst jako vysoké komíny. Ale s přístupem jen jednou za půl roku. Jak by se na tom něco vy..., tak by to bylo v háji.
ale to je o tom, že si stabilní spojení dovedeš do vaší lokality, ale myslím si, že repeater u sebe na střeše pořád má smysl, takže s tím bych začal. Já mám repeater 300 metrů daleko a i tak se stává, že z T1000-e zpráva někdy neodejde. Až budu mít na střeše SenseCAP P1 s Mikrotikem 6,5 dBi, tak doufám, že se to stávat nebude.
@sesivany Ještě mě napadla střecha kde máme v Roští kancl. To je osmipatrová budova. Zkusím se tam zeptat. Tam by se asi dalo dostat v pohodě.
Ten SenseCAP P1 vypadá fakt dobře a ani není drahej. Ten čínskej bazmek, co jsme objednal, je za podobný peníze.
Well... there are definitely a bunch of fedi posts complaining about the "special attention" the Jews get on Holocaust remembrance day. Cool cool cool. 🙄
Like… 6 million (!) people killed, and no, they don't deserve any special attention, whatsoever. going further, swiping the timeline. Disgusting.
Sensitive content
#Holocaust remembrance day. We remember. I — remember.
Next time some politician tell they can't close tax loopholes that the rich exploit to pay less taxes than majority of Canadians, ask them why one can't save on PST anymore by ordering out of province?
