It’s truly worth the price. DM me your steam handle if you feel comfortable and I’ll gift it to you.

I did the same thing. I just want a product or service that doesn’t leverage AI. Mozilla’s resources are better spent improving the web.

That’s so nice to hear. Hopefully it becomes a yearly tradition to watch it.

We introduced it to our daughter this year. She was a little scared but enjoyed it nonetheless. I caught myself wishing there were more shows like it, but it’s so unique and that’s probably why I love it so much.

It really is a wonderful show. I watched it again recently because it’s that time of year, so this was on my mind. 😁

Phone books were useful at one point, though less so for individuals.

Not saying you’re wrong but it reminded me of a moment when I was a kid. I was all of five years old when I got lost in rural Arizona. I was visiting my grandparents and my cousin and I went out looking for turtles after a monsoon the night before. I got separated from my older cousin and then lost. I wandered around for hours until I found the main road that led through a nearby small town. I managed to hitchhike to the local trading post where the clerk managed to find my grandparents phone number to let them know they had found me.

They were sometimes useful. Also, they were great for prank calls.

I guess if you can’t beat them it’s the next best thing.

Goodness, this could be my cat. I have a torty named Moosie that looks very similar.

I agree and I wish I was actually that cool. I just look at data all day and write rules. 🫠

I’m a blade runner. 😁

I don’t think it’s a bad idea but it’s largely dependent on the crawler. I can’t speak for AI based crawlers, but typical scraping targets specific elements on a page or grabbing the whole page and parsing it for what you’re looking for. In both instances, your content is already scrapped and added to the pile. Overall, I have to wonder how long “poisoning the water well” is going to work. You can take me with a grain of salt, though; I work on detecting bots for a living.

Please forgive me because after a really shitty day at work I’m going to be direct and say “it’s not you.” I don’t know you or your work situation, but I have worked with so many people that felt this way. I feel this way sometimes too. I think a lot of people on Lemmy will say they feel this way at times. Hell I bet your coworkers feel this sometimes too.

Work sucks. It sucks more than ever too. Most companies are running on skeleton crews. Someone leaves, takes a sick day, or takes PTO, and the whole thing falls apart. You’re still expected to somehow optimize through all of this instead of the company hiring additional people.

Fuck that. You’re awesome because you show up and do your job through all the bullshit. I have worked with people that don’t always put up the best “metrics”, or whatever bullshit measurement your middle manager uses to make themselves look good, but those folks brought other soft skills to the team that made the day better.

You’re human. Vent. Rant. Be upset. Feel your feelings. We all know the current situation sucks and no one can blame you for needing to get it off your chest. More people need to speak up and point out how shitty it is because it’s just getting worse.

Anyway, if you want someone to vent with then DM me and we can complain together, maybe start a riot or something.

Okey-dokey! Okey-dokey!

You son of a bitch, I’m in.

Excuse me, what?

Apparently we’re running out of sand. That’s going to make the transition to glass harder. I’m not saying I don’t agree because I would definitely prefer glass than plastic.

Task failed successfully.

Chaotic. I love it.

There isn’t. This article is laughable because there is an astronomical amount of bot traffic that masquerades as legitimate human traffic. Things like puppeteer extra stealth and residential proxies have made it easier to hide a bots presence on the web. Also, the tracking they allude to via fingerprinting would very much be the same whether it’s a human solving a captcha or a seamless process where your browser solves one.
