On: News publishers limit Internet Archive access due to AI scraping concerns

[croes]

Maybe we should start with those who made such copyright claims a possibility in the first place

[wizzwizz4 → croes]

They're long, long dead.

On: Platforms bend over backward to help DHS censor ICE critics, advocates say

[croes]

Remember, it’s only censorship if they block what I want to say, if the block what I don’t like it’s for the greater good

On: Babylon 5 is now free to watch on YouTube

[croes]

I think because B5 had already a story to tell from the beginning while DS9 was a setting at first.

I doubt that the changelings and the dominion where planned from the beginning.

[Izkata → croes]

There's an interview somewhere indicating they didn't come up with the Dominion until the second season, explicitly saying they put the first reference to it in a Ferengi episode to mislead and surprise viewers.

On: I ditched OpenClaw and built a more secure AI agent (Blink and Mac Mini)

[croes]

But that means a valid reason could exist and Google would block those mails too.

On: Ring cancels its partnership with Flock Safety after surveillance backlash

[croes]

Convenience.

Same with AI, the same people who fought against Google and Microsoft‘s data collecting now throw everything on data but the kitchen sink at their AI services.

[bandrami → croes]

This is such a weird thing to wrap my head around. I don't even use Bluetooth.

On: Realfood.gov includes a Grok search box

[croes]

It’s called Special operation

On: AI agent opens a PR write a blogpost to shames the maintainer who closes it

[croes]

Someone made that bot, it's for them and others, not for the bot

On: 65 Lines of Markdown, a Claude Code Sensation

[croes]

Line one would be a good start
