Reddit blocking all major search engines, except Google
  • "We always obey the robots.txt"

    • A bunch of corporations that have no accountability and plenty of incentive to just ignore it and have all been caught training AI on off-limits data.

  • I do occasionally find Lemmy in web search results. The platform is not that big (or old), but as long as it sticks around then eventually searchability will improve.

  • Would I get banned here for being over active? I got banned from reddit because they thought I was a bot. And don't want to repeat the same mistake here. Thank you ahead of time.
  • All of the moderation here is done by actual human beings who are (mostly) reasonable. If they make a mistake, you can just message them, and they'll fix it. No one is banned by an algorithm.

    In reality, you can't actually be banned from lemmy, because it's a federated platform. You can only be banned from an instance.

  • Thanks, this looks like different reporting on the same story. That happens with major news, but I can understand why it may seem like excess if it's not a story you're interested in.

  • Sorry, I haven't seen it. If it's been posted here before, Send me the link to the previous post, and I'll take this one down. Even better, you can report the post, and the mods will investigate it.

    Thank you!

  • 'Deal now': Israel hostage families protest as Netanyahu addresses US

    Responding to Netanyahu's speech, the Israeli campaign group the Hostages and Missing Families Forum said "45 minutes of speech and applause won't erase the one sad fact: the words 'Deal Now!' were absent from the prime minister's address."

    %%excerpt%% Reddit has commenced its assault on search engines, blocking those that don’t have a commercial relationship with the company, like Google.

  • I especially love the image, which is both a literal and a figurative illustration of AI failure.

    It's clearly meant to be an ouroborus made out of tech. The AI image generator left out the key trait - it's supposed to be eating itself.

  • Bing has been revamped to prioritize AI search results – whether you like it or not
  • i don't really have the technical knowledge to answer that, But I don't think that's how the Bing API works.

  • I can not believe

  • DownloadThemAll seems to be helping. I'll update the original post with the details once I have success. In this case, I was able to first download them internally in the browser, then copy the download link and add them to DtA using the link. Someone smarter than me will be able to explain why the extra step was necessary, or how to avoid it.

  • In fiery speech to Congress, Netanyahu vows 'total victory' in Gaza and denounces U.S. protesters
  • I believe it was a politically risky statement for him to make explicitly.

    If he alienates his Right Wing, they could dismantle the government and force elections at will. In the past he has used vague statements or diversions to avoid making public statements that could pose political risks to him. No one was demanding an answer on the issue (and he left out plenty of issues that US lawmakers HAVE demanded to know about).

    The better question is: Why would he take the risk of saying it at all?

  • In fiery speech to Congress, Netanyahu vows 'total victory' in Gaza and denounces U.S. protesters
  • He specifically said in this speech that Israel would not resettle Gaza. It's maybe the first time we've seen him directly oppose the radical wing of his government that has advocated for it.

    What are the best ways to stay up on what's happening in the OSS world?

    I used to browse through the latest apps on FDroid, but recently I've switched to using obtainium. There doesn't seem to be a web interface that really shows the new activity or popular apps. I'd also be interested to see what's happening outside of Android. How do you stay up on what's happening in FOSS?

    Why is Google takeout so bitchy?

    Sorry but I can't think of another word for it right now. This is mostly just venting but also if anyone has a better way to do it I wouldn't hate to hear it.

    I'm trying to set up a home server for all of our family photos. We're on our way to de-googling, and part of the impetus for the change is that our Google Drive is almost full.We have a few hundred gigs of photos between us. The problem with trying to download your data from Google is that it will only allow you to do so in a reasonable way through Google takeout. First you have to order it. Then you have to wait anywhere from a few hours to a day or two for Google to "prepare" the download. Then you have one week before the takeout "expires." That's one week to the minute from the time of the initial request.

    I don't have some kind of fancy California internet, I just have normal home internet and there is just no way to download a 50gig (or 2 gig) file in one go - there are always intrruptions that require restarting the download. But if you try to download the files too many times, Google will give you another error and you have to start over and request a new takeout. Google doesn't let you download the entire archive either, you have to select each file part individually.

    I can't tell you how many weeks it's been that I've tried to download all of the files before they expire, or google gives me another error.

    Is there a way to see the Quiblr Version Info?

    Basically the title. I'd like to be able to include it in the Lemmy Apps list. To keep it up to date, I need some way to track versions and updates. Some webapps use issue tracking on github or include the version number in settings or the sidebar.

    Thoughts on a new phone keyboard from an organization that is making a convincing case we need to rethink our discussion around FOSS and self-hosting.

    FUTO Keyboard: The Discussion Behind A Cool Product

    A pretty interesting take, and an interesting discussion about what it means to be open source. Is there room for a trusted space between open source and closed corporate software?

    Brooklyn Jewish children were targeted by a man who wanted to use Santa in a poison scheme, prosecutors say.

    Neo-Nazi ‘murder cult' leader plotted for Santa to poison NYC Jewish kids with candy, prosecutors say

    The leader of a neo-Nazi extremist group based in eastern Europe has been charged with plotting to have an associate dress up as Santa Claus and hand out poisoned candy to Jewish children in New York City to sow terror, prosecutors said Tuesday.

    Chkhikvishvili, who has various nicknames including Commander Butcher, allegedly leads the Maniac Murder Cult, which prosecutors said is an international extremist group that adheres to a “neo-Nazi accelerationist ideology and promotes violence and violent acts against racial minorities, the Jewish community and other groups it deems ‘undesirables.’ "
