Am I just really old?
Sounds like you have cleaned a few trackballs in your days
The top five categories of Bad Bot attacks are fake account creation, account takeovers, scraping, account management, and in-product abuse.
Is it just me or is this article trashy. It lists scraping as bad and suggests it's immoral. It also lists account management as bad.
I got a feeling powers that be will attempt to make scrapping illegal under the guise of AI fears. I don't imagine that many companies like scrapers that collate prices of their products into a website that let's people compare prices against other stores. I don't imagine the real bad actors like scrapers that archive internet content into things like the way back machine. It makes it harder to delete that late night drunken rant, the poor PR choice or the political flip flopping or makes it easier to capture real bad activities in the act before they delete their activity after lighting fires everywhere
Wait, what if we're all blind and seeing is just momentarily gaining vision inbetween blinks
So this kid breaks his arms
They're saving it for the sequel, "The Shire, An Inconvenient Truth"
I don't understand how people do not get blood red angry at advertising more often. Its the root of a lot of our problems with censorship and they flat out just exploit what little free time we all get.
By the time I get home I got 3 hours to chill. Then these ads take up 1/3 of that selling me shit I never asked for. They indirectly forced every platform I ever enjoyed to become these homogenous boring vanilla time sinks. That's because they pay one content safe creator and then the rest start to copy them. Now if I want to avoid ads, I have to pay extra fees which fuck it, the content creators circumvent by putting ads directly into the media.
We should all be more hostile to any encroachment of ads into our lives. Its weird that instead I see people embracing it like it isn't a cancer. We've lost the freedoms we had on thr internet to these ads and nobody seems to care.
Guys they're artists. They deserve to be paid every time you play any game. You wouldn't steal a car
We're so special. We're so strong and brave and we're smarter than everyone
Almost every movie or show I've watched since I was a kid featured a cool shoot from the hip maverick that didn't have time to do that nerd shit like making ethical safe choices or pondering over the legitimacy of some grand conspiracy. They never needed too. They all live in a world where grand conspiracy's existed.
30 years later my generation grew up and have a lot of media stored right next to actual memories. So egg heads are evil spineless nerds that work for evil faceless organization. The real hero's are the guys that shoot first ask questions later.
She is but I can't help but think she has unstated motives for saying it.
I don't know the solution but I do know that we're losing what the internet was suppose to be.
I remember in the early days how we all thought it was insane and unethical to create scarcity in data.
We all knew data could be copied and shared almost limitlessly and so the internet was headed towards this new post information scarcity world were we could all collaborate and share information and knowledge and culture.
It seems like now we're putting up walls everywhere and charging for access to every bit of data we can. I think as an online culture that we lost a lot of that early 00s mentality of what the net would be.
I feel like we dropped that baton and the newer generation is almost pro data scarcity.
Room for one more
