Based on the headline this is not about blocking ai scrappers but by making them pay to do it.

Based on the discussion below which moved that goalpost the most likely answer is by making it cheaper to scrape “legally” then it costs to mimic millions of individual residential browsers with human users.

I don’t know how many aces cloudflare has up its sleep to detect secret ai but they definitely have the tools to make it pretty costly and difficult. There is also a broadband impact difference between a few capitalist megapigs scrapping secretly versus loads of global basement dwellers and smaller companies scrapping worry free.

There is a big overlap beteen the autism and queer communities.

Something about realizing you don’t fit neurotypical expectations and boxes.

At some point i realized that while online, i have absolutely no need nor experience gender. Like there is no difference in how i read or reply to your comments wether i would be male or female. Same goes for playing most games, though in rpg i may pick any.

I do experience gender in some situations, as a partner and parent, because there having a gender makes actual sense. I am not at odds with my birth assigned sex i just dont require it all the time and enjoy experimenting with gender non-conform behaviour.

Also since i am married i am no longer looking to find a life/sex partner and in a professional setting should strive for gender neutral behaviour anyway.

As terminology i identify as mostly non-binary, fluid across the binary line but skewed to one side.

I am not really talking about being hacked but about anyone but you having more control over your system then you.

Maybe in your case thats very little information but I am a tech hobbyist and if i do not have full control and knowledge about every aspect of a device i bought, do i really own it?

If a consumer can’t fully own it, it shouldnt be sold as such. I considered such deeply unethical and damaging to the future potential of technology.

My psychiatrist has mentioned that it appears like it’s important for me that things are logical.

But it really started to rub me the wrong way because i know all people including myself are inherently illogical and make mistakes all the time.

The more accurate terminology i recently found is “intellectual integrity”. “Intellectual dishonesty” fits very well as a related term.

If your library is on other platform like gog, epic, amazon or off platform .exe you can use heroic launcher and for most stuff it works just as well.

For some games there is a little more learning curve because you have to translate custom steam configurations found on protondb to do the same thing in heroic but overall you actually have way more control then steam.

The only reason “id think twice” is if you play lots of games with anticheat which does not work on every distro (like arch btw).

Did you pay for copilot yourself or did your job provide you with a license?

The enterprise tier of copilot is supposed to have access to such data, though it can be managed trough internal policies.

Ask it to summarize your latests emails In outlook/teams messages. If it has access to those (and this is intended) then its near certainty also setup to know who is who in the organization.

Allegedly, the data is “safe” because enterprises is supposedly not harvested and used for training… which makes me conclude non enterprise use absolutely is.

Allegedly because thats what Microsoft claims and on paper it looks legal. But these tech companies never seem to actually follow the law to such a degree that any claims that unmistakably seem to fit within the legal framework automatically are sus to me.

Psa: the reason Microsoft makes these tools linux friendly is because the know thats where the developers are at and they want them to stay familiar with their tools.

It also lowers the amount of fuss developers make when work forced them to use powershell etc because at least they can remote control and script from linux.

If you feel there are other issues to be solved. Definitely solve those first before proceeding.

The biggest question you need to ask yourself is can you imagine yourself being happy, being a parent? And for your partner, can she do the same with no kids.

I have also found many people can flipflop about having or not having kids. My best friend went from always wanting to never wanting during the same time my sister who never wanted anything to do with kids suddenly did and gaslights us into believing she always did.

What i mean to say is, you cannot really trust what people say on the matter. Biology can push buttons either way. Never blame people for perceivably having changed their mind about this.

But on the adhd part:

I am part of a very neurodivergent family. The autism and ad(h)d is part of my inheritance. And my partner is on the spectrum too.

We have multiple kids. And while we both knew we wanted kids and i ideally loved to have a big family i was incredibly scared to expand further mostly because i did not want to lose what we manage to have at that point. Just being able to handle one was beyond my teenage expectations. Just like being able to handle another was beyond my expectation. Now if i was asked if i would make the same choice i would say of course i would. That they showed me to be able to handle beyond my own original expectations is my biggest achievement in life.

But Neurodivergent life is tough, remains tough, having a bad time in your life is tough. Being a parent on top of that is exponentially tough. Both parents having a tough time? Now you are in for a real bad time.

But is that not also true for life and all parents divergent or not? Every life choice you make will always be more than just roses.

Also, for many neurodivergent people its easier to take care of others then themselves (is this true for you?). When you and your partner organise around kids you may benefit from the same structure. For example my own food intake became more structured (and healthy) since.

Neurodivergence also comes with bonuses like thinking outside the box which can make some parenting challenges significantly easier.

There is a certain unpredictability and chaos in parenting which can be scary but is usually where adhd can really thrive.

There is no ultimately no “correct” way to parent either. Every parent i know is just trying what they believe is right for a specific kid and no one, not even children in the same household are raised identically to another.

With that said there are many guides and books for adhd parents specifically.

So concluding.

I want you to know your adhd is not the limiting factor on whether you can or can not have kids.

What matters is where you and your partner would both have the best chance to find happiness, even if that involves one of you choosing for something personally less ideal and even if that does mean going separate ways.

I hope this helps. Good luck.

Been there and i know a real answer to this:

Its because our interfaces are optimized for pictures and not text. I am old enough to remember you needed a plugin to see thumbnails on reddit and doing so what controversial because bandwith.

But Pictures get more clicks and we have been self optimizing its effect. Depending on view we even get all content at once because they tend to use common dimensions.

Text posts are given much less presence and making them look good in a feed is different for a oneliner, poem or deepdive.

Maybe we need to start making front covers for longer text and use vectorbased display mechanics to convert short text into efficient pictures with own background.

thumbnails also has a more button feeling driving psychological engagement.

If you sort by top you can clearly observere it.

Mfw i have been going into individual steam properties to select a proton version for all my games for the last 2 years.

Article says the queen got overhauled in 15 century to become the most powerful piece but nothing about it being the weakest prior.

Was hoping this would detail how pieces moved through time.

Every time i see something about android 16 i can only think of one thing.

This is going to be controversial but “review wether this title is misleading for the provided article” might be a job an automated ai agent could do well with high accuracy. If not the post gets a small disclaimer which mods can remove if they please.

Of course that is if the article website is actually readable for it.

How do you get “1” like this?

I suppose you have to roll 10 to get to 100 = 0

But then what?

Dont give up on it! Its very feasible that yt starts attacking yt-dlp. Invidious is already obfuscated. The more alternatives the better.

I tend to do the much more efficient system of writing an entire essay to then decide to delete it before posting.

So does anyone know a proper alternative that doesn’t scare every non-tech person on my server?

I already lost people when we initially moved from a facebook group to discord.

I believe i can self-host a matrix client but no idea how well it will work with people currently having notifications by discord bot on their phone

Oops i accidentally made this tiny mistake again, we will have to redo the shot. More cocaine please!
