@nprofile1q... "we found something that tastes good when you drown it in molten butter"

so do potatoes

@nprofile1q... Is this about the signal thing? I feel like those messages should be deleted as soon as they are dismissed not 24 hours later.

@nprofile1q... the bugzilla link requires login.

@nprofile1q... In the article they call Anubis malware, not incompatible with free software.

@LisPi Tell that to my network provider 🥲

@LisPi I doubt this will be the end of the server centric internet. More likely then end of the open-access internet.

@LisPi It's illusionary to think that P2P infrastructure wouldn't get bogged down too careless scrapping.

The first thing going out of service would be publically accessible IPFS internet gateways.

Next the the scapers bottleneck well behaving peer in the network. RIP my 100/10 Mbit ADSL.

Then maybe you convince scrapers to seed by enforcing ratios but that's again excluding many human users.

@LisPi At least half of the complaints I see people make where specific services are mentioned are about scrapers scraping git forges. There is a very straightforward way to get the complete content of the repo (git clone) and the scrapers still try to request a webview of every single revision of every single file and tar balls for every single revision on top.

Wikipedia is also getting flooded with AI scraper traffic.

@nprofile1q... starting to think the cat just likes being thrown around

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... USB transfer was the only way my grandmother was able to get ebooks. This is a big loss in terms of accessibility.
