“it’s impossible to ensure that no one pisses in the pool, therefore we’re allowing pissing into the pool now”

“we can’t 100% enforce that studenst don’t cheat on exams, so it’s not worth to take a stand against cheating”

as is often the case you need to follow the money, when you open up the linux foundation sponsor list and see google, microsoft, amazon, meta, and anthropic in the top tiers it gets kinda obvious why there was really no chance he’d decry the “product” from the companies paying him big bucks.

it’s really sad to me as well to see important free software projects go this route, i guess the gpl doesn’t mean much anymore since apparently it’s this widely accepted that you can introduce chatbot code with mysterious origins into your codebase now.

just fork it bro, what a disingenuous argument for a codebase with 40+ million lines of low-level code

anubis does its thing by making you waste your cpu cycles and then giving you a cookie, if you use that cookie for subsequent requests then you’re free to browse the site. it might in theory slow down dumb scrapers that don’t save that state and parallelize the mass scraping via multiple ip addresses (since without the cookie they’ll have to solve the challenge for each request) but if one’s making a targeted attack for one specific site, they don’t do any of that. it should be trivial for a bad actor to solve the challenge once and use the cookie, like a regular user would. anubis only slows down scrapers that scrape all sites indiscriminately and don’t expect it, once you know it’s there then it’s easy to bypass (and if you can afford to scrape the entire site you can surely afford to get past anubis once).

i just visited and no, they don’t seem to use it, or at least i could access the site without it. but even if they did, anubis is incapable of defending against targeted scraping.

they police that the guy is lying to his wife and having a secret relationship behind her back, and they’re very right to police that. cheating on a person you supposedly love for life is vile and disgusting and the wife has every right to be upset that her husband is secretly pursuing romantic partners behind her back (and judging by the sitting woman’s expression, she likely doesn’t know, so he’s likely hiding his marriage from her too).

is posing with a sign in public and making a scene distasteful? yeah, might be. but it’s nowhere as bad as cheating.

that’s also assuming that the situation is real, which i doubt. but it applies to all cheaters in general regardless of this specific image.

reread what, your comments about how not wanting a partner to cheat on you somehow equals sexual oppression? wouldn’t policing what kind of relationships people are allowed to have (aka what you’re trying to do) be closer to domineering?

honestly i think it’d be nice to have a full p2p video directory instead. something like peertube but without instances, resembling a torrent tracker like nyaa, aimed generally for educational stuff, entertainment, music, etc. basically youtube but as a torrent tracker, to reduce the storage requirement. you’d be able to seed your favorite media and the fact that people would not want to waste their storage on seeding worthless stuff and the technical hurdle of p2p would keep the mindless slop out.

i mean… blocking lists are universal, but the other features ublock offers are not - i’m making heavy use of ublock’s dynamic filtering panel and per-site switches. one important thing i use ublock for is to whitelist which sites get javascript permissions and to get rid of remote fonts to make pages more readable. those features need manifest v2.

if firefox drops manifest v2 and you’re relying purely on those inbuilt blocking lists then you might as well use the manifest v3 version of ublock without seeing a difference, right?

last time i saw that user’s profile, all of the posts were sexual. many of them not even really memes. posts about having intercourse with old men, wearing revealing clothes in the club and so on. i don’t think any of them were tagged, so the user themselves doesn’t care and apparently neither do the mods of the communities wherever it was posted to.

no one’s pushing the nsfw users out, just wanting a mechanism for users who don’t want that stuff in the timeline to filter it out. why should people play whack-a-mole with people who don’t tag their horny posts properly and people who keep remaking accounts every other month?

i find it dissapointing how the nsfw community preaches that consent is key, but at the same time when someone doesn’t consent to being exposed to porn by default then they’re a prude and should make new communities on their own.

the least they could do is tag their nsfw posts as nsfw, which they consistently don’t do.
