interesting strategy to hire a lawyer for that instead of a psychologist
in my defense, your honor, i didn’t think anybody would actually fall for it
one of my old computer science professors said self driving cars “have been 5 years away for the past 20 years”. still rings true to this day
oh man that’s an incredible option. i was already super happy with the “share as image” option they have, but it seems like they just keep outdoing themselves
windows 11 is a next generation experience. microsoft teams now has 16 times the detail
it’s hard to thoughtfully discuss thoughtless decisions
how the fuck could they have possibly done things in a way that makes explorer tabs depend on recall?
if they can’t even separate out recall from the rest of the operating system then i have absolutely no faith it will be secure.
why write better software when you can simply tell the customer to buy better hardware?
i would probably word it as something like:
Robots.txt is a document that specifies which parts of a website bots are and are not allowed to visit. While it’s not a legally binding document, it has long been common practice for bots to obey the rules listed in robots.txt.
in that description, i’m trying to keep the accessible tone that they were going for in the article (so i wrote “document” instead of file format/IETF standard), while still trying to focus on the following points:
i did also neglect to mention that robots.txt allows you to specify different rules for different bots, but that didn’t seem particularly relevant here.
but then the market would be ever so slightly less free. the horror!
from the article:
Robots.txt is a line of code that publishers can put into a website that, while not legally binding in any way, is supposed to signal to scraper bots that they cannot take that website’s data.
i do understand that robots.txt is a very minor part of the article, but i think that’s a pretty rough explanation of robots.txt
the more lions the better
thank you. that fact was much more fun
i am not having fun after hearing that fact
Another thing that sticks out about the complaints filed with the FTC is that they seem to involve plenty of elderly fans of Donald Trump. One 72-year-old man who reported chatting with a “beautiful” woman on the site was scammed out of $21,000. His complaint ends with, “I haven’t told my wife about this blunder. She still doesn’t know about it.” Another person in their 60s said they lost $500,000 to scammers on Truth Social and seemed to think there might be a way they could get their money back, telling the FTC, “After I pay this they promise there will be no more fees and I will receive my assets.”
what is even happening here. this reads like something from an onion article.
floods and swarms of insects? are we sure that florida, with all of its blasphemers and heretics, hasn’t incurred the wrath of god?
it’s very telling that being pro palestine is immediately interpreted as being “anti israel”
