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.

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

You can't blame kids for trying to get away from camps if they're abusive.

For anyone not aware of what goes on in some of these camps, give this a read: https://elan.school/

Trigger warning.

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.

Okey-dokey! Okey-dokey!

Pooping, honestly.

Excuse me, what?

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.

Chaotic. I love it.

Well done. I for one appreciate the effort you're putting into making this a better place by keeping the bots out. Any thoughts on what can be done to keep bots from signing up to begin with or is the plan to continuously purge inactive accounts? I know from experience that a lot of these bad actors are going to pivot and redouble their efforts. This is unfortunately a cat and mouse game that will continually need to be addressed. But, again, thank you for your work on this!

I feel like the perfect album can exist for anyone. Sometimes an album hits just right at a specific time in your life. It becomes the background soundtrack for your day to day life. For me, it is The Postal Service's Give Up. There are so many reasons I love that album and to me there are no throwaway songs. It feels altogether ephemeral for me.

So yeah, it's highly subjective, but I think it's possible for all of us to experience music on this level. I hope you one day experience it, OP.

Well, I guess I'm here for a good time, not a long time.

You son of a bitch, I'm in.

Ah yes, from Twitter to Shitter.

Nah Albuquerque, fam.

NYT also uses a third party bot identification and mitigation service.

How I feel reading your comment

Look what regex has done to this poor soul.

Thanks for sharing this graph. Please forgive my pessimism regarding the subject. I know a lot of progress is being made in the area of renewables and sometimes it still feels dire. Hopefully we can hasten that downward trend with coal.

Venus would also like a word.

Edit: For anyone curious, I'm referring to Venus as a potential model for runaway greenhouse effect.

Mom's Eggo waffles.

I hear you and admit that I did misunderstand your point. Thanks for chiming in and clarifying. For the record, I didn't downvote you and I'm sorry you're being misunderstood overall.

Out of curiosity, was this the dynamic growing up and prior to the move? I just wonder if your father is a narcissist. If you were always blamed while your siblings could do no wrong then there's a strong chance that's the issue.

Regardless, I'm so sorry about how your father has treated you. I feel like I can relate in some way. As an adult it's taken some time to sort through those past issues. It's hard to come to the realization that a parent can't be what you want or need them to be.

Someone else in the comments mentioned therapy and I just want to echo that. There's nothing wrong with it and I think everyone should do sessions with an expert in their life. I hope you can find some peace regardless. Best of luck OP.

Well then, good news. It's a suppository!

Very grateful to see some no till here on Lemmy. The cover crop is always nice to leave, I think. It gives the grow space a certain je ne sais quoi to the grow space. Except for the hairy vetch.

Are you referring to email verification on sign up? If so, it's unfortunately easily overcome by bad actors. Depending on how the platform handles it, one email can be used over and over again to verify accounts or there are many services out there that provide an endless amount of quick and easy emails. The automation of this has already been solved too. For the first scenario, limits on how many times an email is used for account verification is useful. For the second scenario, we really start the cat and mouse game. You can block sign up from accounts using spam email domains. There are lists out there that can help. If someone is really persistent, they may have a trove of legitimate email addresses they can use. Then you have to start considering where the sign ups are coming from, the IP, it's reputation, the behaviors, and hopefully it's fingerprints from the device. You could serve a captcha but most are trivial to bypass with code straight from GitHub or captcha passing services. Overall, this is not an easy problem to solve. I know a lot of conversation on Lemmy is being had regarding this topic. It's going to take all of us together to help solve the problem.

Well said, friend. To each their own, the gate is open come on in and let's all grow weed how we want. I hope you can one day get some space outside and get a little closer to nature. ❤️

Thank you for the response. This isn't my field of study but my Astronomy professor back in college pointed to Venus as a possible outcome for Earth if we continued with our current emissions. I know atmospheric CO2 levels in the past were much higher on Earth but I'm truthfully not sure I understand what mechanisms Earth has that Venus lacked. I'm not trying to argue the point; really, I just want to learn.

Lastly, I love your username. It sounds delightful.

Yes, absolutely, you are right. The comments in this thread and elsewhere are that Earth will be fine. Our current trajectory doesn't bode well for that assertion.
