There’s a trending posts list which helps fill this want for me.

I blocked ESPN news articles just because I don’t want to see sports content. Does the same thing. They need to fix this stupid shit.

On the other hand, I’m willing to pay for aggregated news to gain access to articles from the likes of The Atlantic, etc. Anyone have alternatives to Apple News+ in this regard?

That’s all valid.

Check out Vivaldi. Yes it’s still Chromium. Consider reading the link.

It’s not just search engines. Lots of people on Mastodon were using robots.txt to block ChatGPT (and any other LLM company they knew of) from scraping their sites/blogs.

I disagree, to a point. I want to be able to control my services to the greatest extent possible, including picking who scrapes me.

On the other hand, orgs as large as Google doing this poses a real threat to how the internet works right now which I hate.

Twitter still has advertisers.

You’d probably feel differently if it were your service. Should you be able to control who scrapes your sites or should that be all or nothing?

For the record, I fucking hate what the internet is becoming. I naively believed that even if shit got cordoned off into the walled gardens that are mobile phone apps, the web would remain as open as it was. This is a terrible sign of things to come.

A service that gasp costs money???

It surfaces better results for me than others so I’m paying for a service that I gain benefit from. Feel free not to…

Can’t have shit in Detroit.

But, my superiority!

I think I’m going with the same processor for my newest build. Seems like a good one.

Fastmail is the shit. I feel it’s really underrated. Everyone on Lemmy just knows about Proton.

Regardless, that energy could be going to offset other energy currently being produced by non-renewables no matter which way you slice it.

And yet they still couldn’t cover the last 30%.

We’ll also ignore the fact that that solar could have been used to offset actual needs instead of this BS.

It’s second to none if you have to get things done in a Windows environment, especially if dealing with Active Directory.

But if not, I don’t blame you for not picking it up. Right tool for the job and all that.

I find objects much easier to work with rather than a bunch of string manipulation.

I really appreciate the consistency. People also dog it for being verbose to write but it makes it so much more legible.

/shrug

I don’t know if you meant this as a joke but it’s legitimately funny.

I watch anime btw.

Why u gotta hate on PowerShell like that? I like it. 😭
