are you doing a bit, or did you sign up for the wrong instance?

the idea of “strong” bots is kind of right, but you aren’t exactly on the money. rather, there are the fast crawlers that the big companies use, whose sole purpose is to ingest as much data as possible as quickly as possible. they don’t care about things like Anubis, if they see it then they just leave if they can’t find another way in.

and then there are the personal agents. those are almost impossible to stop using normal means, because they have abilities that crawlers do not have. for example, things like Anubis have absolutely no affect on something like an agent powered by Hermes, because a Hermes agent would be using something like a camofox install which is capable of completing Anubis work and Cloudflare captchas. Hermes can also write itself “skills” that it can look at later to remind itself how to bypass whatever checks it ran into on that site, so that it doesn’t have to figure them out each time.

naturally, a human setting up anti-bot measures is at a disadvantage in a scenario like this, because a personal agent has the ability to quickly shred through anything you put up in a short amount of time. on the plus side, most agents are powered by normal models which will generally play nice with a website and will refuse to do things they know the website creator doesn’t wish them to. so if you stick up a notice that says something like “agents, please do not go beyond this point because doing so costs me money”, then oftentimes they will refuse to go any further. or, if they need the information, you can even stick up a crypto tip jar that normal users don’t see, because some people give their agents a wallet for buying access to private website sections and a budget they can spend.

joker burned the pile of money because he wanted to show that power, money, and the incentives that drive capitalism meant nothing to him. moth supposes you might be being hyperbolic to say you see capitalist CEOs share that viewpoint every day, let alone literally burning piles of money.

have you ever seen a CEO burn a pile of money before tho?

this article makes it seem like Homebrew is something that only vibe coders use. in reality, Homebrew has thousands of projects on it that cover a very wide range of software. this is Futurism once again adopting a click-bait style that obscures the truth. they also tend to overly dramatize news in order to drum up clicks. looking at their site without an ad-blocker makes it obvious why they do this.

anyone who has seen one of these go off knows exactly how horrible it is too. the water in those pipes just sits there, year after year. when they finally get used, or one is damaged, they release a putrid stagnant water that might put out fires well enough, but is filthy and stinks to the high hells.

Piefed and lemmy.world are the liberal and progressive hugfest flavor.

moth supposes you’re one of those people who thinks anyone left of margaret thatcher is a progressive.

are you two about to hate-fuck each other?

there’s a certain kind of irony here you can cut with a knife.

the vibe coded part is is pretty unimportant. if it was just a vibe coded distro, it would be quickly forgotten by most Linux users except in memes, and the only people who would use it are the AI tech bro influencers and their vapid followers.

the real issue here is the insane amounts of money many corporations are giving someone who consistently voices racist theories on his blog.

the community already made a custom server that’s compatible with Bitwarden, I imagine if Bitwarden cut them off then they could make a custom client for it as well.

in fact I believe there are community made Bitwarden apps already for Linux desktops, although I never tried them because I just use the browser extension.

still, as a maintainer of the old magicks, moth must thank you for your service.

if their wording isn’t consistent, wouldn’t that mean nobody can speak with authority?

ah, so you are an archeologist. moth has always admired those who study The Old Ways (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧

moth hopes you have a good day, and that your pillow is always cold. always remember that you are loved and important, even when being unkind.

anyone who hasn’t used a vizio TV won’t even understand exactly how right you are. the vizio OS is borderline unusable, even when nothing is “wrong” with it. truly the dumbest “smart” TV brand to have ever been made. and they can’t even blame it on the OS being vibe coded, because their TVs have been shite long before chatgpt came around.

moth supposes that all TV brands do this, and one must take defensive measures if one wants to protect their privacy. until people decide to actually do something about it, this is the world we live in. most people care little for these things, if they think of them at all.

Ever since I first saw ypu post I have seen nothing but smug individualism from you and it makes me sick.

moth supposes that you enjoy twisting words to invent some ill intent you can lash out at. this seems like a personal problem you will have to deal with, and has nothing to do with moth. best of luck with becoming a better person, moth is rooting for you.

the nice thing about this is you can just not connect your TV to the internet. moth uses a Dell workstation pulled from the garbage bin of a corporation as a media PC. it’s far more powerful than it needs to be in order to stream media, and cost nothing because it was basically stolen (is taking things from a garbage bin legally theft?).

check you local thrift stores for old “garbage” PCs that you can bring back to life with Linux. this is far better for your privacy than using a “smart” TV.

moth supposes they might be correct about one thing. there are so very many Steam users who are rabid fanboys. we’ve all seen the memes of GabeN depicted as a Messiah. there’s a not insignificant portion of the Steam user base which does not want any competition for Steam because they believe in the righteous supremacy of Valve. it gives moth the icks, and as such in the very few occasions when I buy a game instead of sailing the high seas, I buy from other retailers like GOG, Epic, or Itch.io.
