- Comment on The problem of cross-community posting 2 days ago:
maybe could filter the comments based on tag as well.
- Comment on The problem of cross-community posting 3 days ago:
What I think would be interesting would be to have communities be tags rather than exclusive categories. So if you make a post, you can add more than one tags to it, provided you are a ‘member’ of that tag.
Tags would have moderators much like communities have moderators now, to preserve the meaning of the tag. So you could have a tag like ‘billionaire media’, and members could slap that tag on all nyt, wapo, etc articles. Moderators would boot members who misapplied the tag.
Then what would be interesting would be to use the tags for searches, like ‘news’ minus ‘billiionaire media’.

I got into programming on a TRS-80 clone. Everything you needed to know to program it was contained in a little 150 page book that came with it.
To program the Mac, you needed a whole bookshelf of books.

I think something protocol based might be nice. Don’t go to a website, install a program that uses an open protocol. Better for real decentralization, no cookies, no web tracking, just text and maybe pics.

- Comment on Perplexity AI is complaining their plagiarism bot machine cannot bypass Cloudflare's firewall 2 months ago:
so how would cloudflare tell the difference between the good ‘stripped down’ queries and the bad? still not hearing how that is supposed to work. if there’s no way to tell the difference, the baby will be thrown out with the bathwater, and I can’t blame them.
- Comment on Perplexity AI is complaining their plagiarism bot machine cannot bypass Cloudflare's firewall 2 months ago:
I don’t see how categorically blocking non-human traffic is irrational given the current environment of AI scanning. And what’s rational about demanding cloudflare distinguish between the ‘good guy’ AI and ‘bad guy’ AI without proposing any methodology for doing so.

LOL “human sourced traffic” oh the tragedy. I for one am rooting for perplexity to go out of business forever.
- Comment on Perplexity AI is complaining their plagiarism bot machine cannot bypass Cloudflare's firewall 2 months ago:
Yes your “leave the internet any time you want” strawman is not a good argument.
If allowing perplexity while blocking the bad guys is so easy why not find a service that does that for you?
- Comment on Perplexity AI is complaining their plagiarism bot machine cannot bypass Cloudflare's firewall 2 months ago:
So you’re a cloudflare customer and you wish they would let the perplexity traffic multiplier through to your website? You can leave cloudflare any time you want.

So sad for them. Try not living in a war zone?

If a neighborhood is beset by roving bands of thieves, sooner or later strangers will be greeted by a shotgun rather than an invitation to tea, regardless of their intentions. Them’s the breaks. Bots are going to take a hit now and their operators are just going to have to deal with it. Sucks when people don’t play nice, but this is what you get.

Ha, anyone DOSing them with constant compute requests? I read an article where a 200$ a month user was using tens of thousands of dollars of compute.

I love it actually. Better than nazi adjacent vids and body horror stuff like boil maintenance and botfly removal. Fresh youtube accounts get the WORST stuff.

Elon quitting as CEO is not enough. He has to divest from tesla as well. His obscene wealth is the problem, and as long as his wealth is in the company I’m going to be pulling for it to tank to zero.

- Comment on App Stores on Android: F-Droid? Accrescent? Others? 8 months ago:
Haven’t looked at it in detail. I like F-Droid because the apps seem to be non-predatory OSS that gets the job done. Its not really a ‘store’ though. I think some apps have a paid Play Store release and a free F-Droid release, to make it easy to support the devs if you want.
Does accrescent support non-free apps?
- Comment on How to get people to use Mastodon? 8 months ago:
I’ll add to this that when I first registered at mastodon.social, my default view was some fancied up multi-column monstrosity. I managed to turn most of that off, but it was super confusing at first. Start simple and let users add complexity.
