  Seems such a weird edge case to me. If I pay for a search engine you can rely on me using it as my primary search engine. And I search the Internet daily, and certainly monthly. So this change wouldn’t help me at all

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Non-US alternatives to digital services⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Nowadays I half suspect any tech CEO to have some questionable mindset (to say the least). So it seems more important to me, what the company actually does. I hope everyone complaining about Proton now also does not use Google, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, X, Apple products, and the list goes on. Their CEOs are definitely a lot worse.

  I feel like it’s not a big impact on security if I use 2fa anyway. <Base password><month><year> is fine for me 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI Threatening to Ban Users for Asking Strawberry About Its Reasoning⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When I heard about it first, I thought it was some open source project, because of the name. :(

  There are a lot more people living in China, so it makes sense too.

  When I last tried to let some AI write actual code, it didn’t even compile 🙂 And another time when it actually compiled it was trash anyway and I had to spend as much time fixing it, as I would have spent writing it myself in the first place.

  So far I can only use AI as a glorified search engine 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk’s X under pressure from regulators over data harvesting for Grok AI by default setting | Social media platform uses pre-ticked boxes of consent, a practice that violates UK and EU GDPR rules⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Basically everyone (noticeably a bunch of people/organisations I definitely would like to follow) still seem to use Xitter as a platform for PR… Please, just stop :(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Is the Only Search Engine That Works on Reddit Now Thanks to AI Deal⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually currently it contains this:

  User-agent: *
  Disallow: /
  

  Well, that actually is a blanket ban for everyone, so something else must be at play here.

  robots.txt, I guess? Yes, you can just ignore it, but you shouldn’t, if you develop a responsible web scraper.
