Sloppers love it when you do the hard work of maintaining a clean dataset for them to steal.
Hell yeah. Though I do always wonder if such entities mark themselves as targets for AI scraping. For instance, Wikipedia is also committed to banning slop articles. But that just means for any AI scraper it just becomes a reliable source of quality training data. So Wikipedia volunteers have to expend a lot of time and resources determining if something is slop and getting rid of it, all so that the slop trainers can come in and create the next version of the slop engine used to spam Wikipedia…
Anyway… whatever. Good for Codeberg!
In Virginia during the fifa World Cup there are a lot of ads pro data center funded by a group that was created for this purpose called Virginia Connects.
It’s the usual shitbags lying to the public to make it sound like data centers are good
Doesn’t change my update schedule of a new phone every 8 years.
Does this pave the way forward for all published content, then? Especially if they win their case against meta (or more likely just receive a fat settlement out of court)

I used to be able to browse the web happily with JS disabled. It started to get worse about 10 years ago and really bad about 6 years ago and EXTREMELY bad over the past year or two.
And I get it, it’s because of all the scrapers constantly fucking everything up and needing to be blocked. But still. The internet is unusable. All so the likes of Gemini or Claude or Deepseek can generate unlimited amounts of spam and slop.
Best of luck to him on his crusade. Full support!
Didnt bother with the article but

I walked into a Best Buy last fall just to kind of browse the computers on offer. The sales rep recommended a laptop (Asus, I think) with 16gb of RAM, saying he actually even got his aunt one of the same model he was recommending to me.
That’s insane. What the fuck is going on in these big tech companies that people are recommending 16gb of RAM for aunties and normies?

Rhetorical question, the answers are: mega-reliance on webviews, every mid-level PM having to ship “features” to justify their position and to climb the corporate ladder, and every UI designer getting the brain-sickness that’s rounded-corners and animations everywhere, while some VP of product insisting on more ads and user-tracking. Add “agentic” aka slop coding to cap a decade of learn-2-code bootcamp 2nd-rate programmers who vigorously studied Cracking the Coding Interview without properly understanding the fundamentals… and voila!
That’s the splendid thing about the Neo. Apple is saying ok, we know it’s only 8GB of RAM, but through the service life of the laptop we can ensure that that will give you a good desktop experience.
When I think of FOSS, and people who are seriously committed to a copyleft future, these names suddenly spring into my mind
IDK why. Generosity, Linux, FLOSS, sharing, GPL… these terms all come to mind when those people’s names come up.
Oh wait, no it doesn’t.
