Yeah AI scrapers is one of the reasons why i have closed my public website https://tvnfo.com and only left donors site online. It’s not only because of AI scrapers but i grew tired of people trying to scrape the site eating a lot of reasorcers this small project don’t have. Very sad really it was publicly online since 2016. Now it’s only available for donors. Running a tiny project on just $60 a month. If this was not my hobby i would close it completely long time ago :-) Who know if there is more support in the future i might reopen public site again with something like anubes bot protection. But i thought it was only small sites like mine who gets hit hard, looks like many have similar issues. Soon nothing will be open or useful online. I wonder if this was the plan all along whoever pushing AI on massive scale.
I took a look at the https://tvnfo.com/ site and I have no idea what's behind the donation wall. Can I suggest you have a single page which explains or demonstrates the content, or there's no reason for "new" people to want to donate to get access.
“In fact, so rare it is to find someone who knows what I mean that it feels like a magic moment.”
There, lack of interest from the person you talking to or you when listening. It’s because you have different interests. This is a human feature not a flaw. But it’s interesting to think that LLMs might have similar behavior :-)
“I’ll never again ask a human to write a computer program shorter than about a thousand lines, since an LLM will do it better.”
From my personal experience with ChatGPT it can’t even correctly write few lines of code. But i don’t use AI often. I just don’t find it that useful. From what i see it’s mostly a hype bubble that will burst.
But this is my personal opinion and my own observation. I could be wrong :-)
This also happens a lot on AliExpress most storage devices are fake. Some 64gb flash drives, sd cards or 320gb 2.5 mobile hdds are okay. But you should run f3 test on any new drive you buy.
It's missing containers and overall has less privacy features available than firefox.
This is exemplified compared to forks like librewolf that enable the majority of them.
Ungoogled Chromium and stock Firefox are pretty similar privacy-wise though.
The main advantage is all baked-in telemetry is stripped out, but it doesn't do much to protect you from privacy-invasive sites other than disabling WebRTC and blocking 3rd party cookies.
I used it for a number of years, but recently switched to Librewolf ~5 months ago and don't expect to switch back unless Firefox and all downstream forks completely implode.
It can run ublock origin right now, and will be able to run ublock origin lite into the future.
No chromium-based browser currently plans to keep MV2 support. It's just not feasible for a small group to keep it maintained ontop of the inevitable breaking changes that will be introduced in upstream over time.
If this bothers you, use a real browser that isn't sourced from an ad company.
Otherwise, you'll be getting exactly what you should expect, and nothing more.
Ungoogled chromium is a good alternative in terms of privacy because all google-related services are gutted and there are no other built-in telemetry things.
There are some downsides, too.
First, you have to do some research on learning to make this browser work conveniently, e.g. finding alternative services to sync and backup your settings, bookmarks, accounts and passwords, etc.
Second, changes pushed by Google like Manifest V3 is still hard to deal with.
I’m sure this is just a coincidence than but Rudolph sounds a like Adolf, or in today’s concept Russian Adolf. And word red doesn’t help, as red was favorite SSSR color. 0_o
