admin

What's this, Nuance?!

Sir, I will have you know this is a Lemmy server. We don't do that here.

Now get your pitchfork and rabble!

That truly sucks.

Not in the least bit because displaylink is used in many docks, all of which are barely usable in Linux because the driver support is non existent. If anything, this could BOOST their sales.

Secondly, I really feel like that AI stamp was just added to the title for clickbait. It didn't matter in the slightest for the issue at hand: Company threatens to ruin developer for fixing their own shit.

Legislate AI away

Why on earth would the whole world agree to that while the economic incentives (to name just one) to do exactly the opposite are so high

What would your preferred outcome in this situation be then? The bad guys are going to use AI to find exploits. What should the good guys do?

So ehm... What is your question?

Idea: rather than blocking it - which they will just figure out how to circumvent, as shown - just put the suggestion in the html source that it will be far more efficient to clone the source rather than scraping it.

Actually, I don't really run into nearly as much shills as haters.

The biggest clowns can be found in online comments though. (And yes, I deliberately include myself in that group)

I don't think it's as sinister as that. People just love their anti AI circlejerk.

What about the rest that is illegally acquired though?

Any chance? Yes.

That would put still allow the instance admin to oversee all your different accounts - which would require giving a lot of trust to just 'some stranger on the internet'. Wouldn't you be better off just creating different accounts on different servers? Then the only person that knows those accounts belong to 1 person would be you.

Edit: one thing I would welcome is the ability to hide your public profile, or posts on a specific community. Then again, all the info is distributed, so it would just take one client to gather all a users posts, tie them together, and expose it anyway.

So while on one hand I understand your wish for anonimity, in practice it does more harm than good. You might have good reasons to do so, it would also allow people with less aligned intentions to sway public opinion, or make certain opinions seem more numerous than they are. I don't think the downsides are worth it.
