The initial problem is the aggressiveness of #LLM web #crawlers that don't respect "robots.txt". The first idea that comes to mind is IP #blocking . However, web crawlers have circumvented this restriction by using individual IPs via specialized #botnets .
Another solution is therefore to exhaust the resources of the harvesters. With a #zipbomb , we attempt to #exhaust their #RAM .
@troed @dalai @foone The problem will be that one will have to reimplement the "#API" as #api0 from scratch by running inspectors in browsers all the time...
It'll necessitate all api 0
calls to come from the same #IPv4 and/or #IPv6 as the end-user and hide itself with a fake #UserAgent to prevent countermeasures like #RateLimiting and #blocking.
"#Safari is one of Apple’s most financially successful #products and the highest margin product Apple has ever made."
TL;DR: Apple’s rules and technical #restrictions are #blocking other #browser vendors from successfully offering their own #engines to users in the EU.
Apple is not in compliance with the Digital Markets Act (DMA) regarding browsers and web apps.
long read - but well worth it!

As site blocks pile up, European Commission issues subtle slapdown to Italy’s Piracy Shield
As numerous Walled Culture posts attest, site blocking is in the vanguard of the actions by copyright companies against sites engaged in the unauthorised sharing of material. Over the past few months, this approach has become even more pervasive, and even more intrusive. For example, in France, the Internet infrastructure company Cloudflare was forced to geoblock more than 400 sports […]

The #mainstreaming is talking about the #deathcult – So why are you still waiting?
It took four decades of sleepwalking through #neoliberalism, cultural decay, ecological collapse, and social atomisation, but at last, the #mainstreaming is starting to talk about the #deathcult we’ve been worshipping.
Case in point: Steve Coogan – yes, Alan Partridge – is now publicly accusing Keir Starmer and Labour of “paving the way for Reform UK,” the rising hard-right threat. Here’s the article. It’s not satire, it’s despair. Coogan’s right, and a few years ago, such a […]

Russia revives obsolete T-62 tanks amid equipment shortages — Ukraine approves new ‘Murakha’ ground robot for combat use — Ukrainian drones strike missile, drone arsenal in Russia’s Bryansk Oblast — Russia has amassed 111,000 troops near Pokrovsk … and more

Also to be clear if you put the new #HarryPotter show on my #dashboard I will be #unfollowing and probably #blocking #you. #JKRowling is responsible for the death and pain of too many #trans #people to count in my #country and I cannot tolerate her new way of trying to gain cultural and financial #power in any way shape or form.
History has a lot to say on the peasant revolt vs. liberal half-measures
For thousands of years, the demands of the oppressed have remained startlingly consistent: Erase all debts, Burn the records, redistribute the land. These weren’t radical demands. They were and are common sense for those crushed by the weight of extraction, enclosure, and empire.
Compare that to today’s to often #fashionista “leftist” rallying cry of “Tax the rich.” Let’s be honest, this is moderate, half-baked reform in the #KISS sweep of human struggle. “Tax the rich” still […]

When we block thinking, it’s pratish #dotcons behaviour
We’re in a cultural shift space. The #Fediverse, the #openweb, and grassroots tech projects like #OMN exist to challenge the values of the corporate web – not to reproduce them. Yet we keep, seeing people attacked for simply linking to context or history. Linking is native to the open web, attacking people for linking? That’s native to #dotcons.
The example is that this site here keeps being attacked, when the #KISS truth is this site has 20+ years of project history, is not monetized, […]

A call-out for collective tech with teeth
It’s important to be honest about the landscape we’re working in. Just about every so-called “alternative tech” or #opensocialweb event – especially those run under the #NGO banner – is riddled with institutional parasites. They talk a big game about ethics, governance, and decentralisation, but their main role is to capture energy, not release it. The value in these spaces is minimal, maybe a few decent corridor chats, but structurally, they serve the status quo.
What we’re seeing […]

I think I'll be shopping for #3DPrinter files elsewhere since @cults3d has some crappy anti-ad-blocking scripts running on their site now.
I know #TwistyPrints sells their files elsewhere.
