yay. woo. great. yet another corpo fediverse scraper

I tried to get them to voluntarily stop, but I’m afraid I’m going to have to recommend a #Fediblock against flockingbird.social

They are scraping post content and making it searchable

*Edit:* It will be difficult if not impossible to block them, because they are evidently getting their content from the hashtag timeline API of botsin.space

@goat@hellsite.site what if we made a mapping of whatever the TikTok algorithm puts in your home feed to traditional tarot card meanings

DREAMORAVE - WAKE UP TECHNO SET

youtube.com/watch?v=Pn-R9HhUQZ

Really really good flow, top track selection, does exactly what it says on the tin (wake you up)

@polyfloyd ooh Calibre is great! gonna queue it for sometime after this amazing techno set

github, angry 

The absolute fucking gall of to claim in their celebratory blogpost that actually, *they* are responsible for "developers no longer just being people building software for tech companies", and that they are "always putting developers first" in the same line as where they bring up Copilot.

Fuck you, Github. Sincerely, go fuck yourself. We were here before you, and this isn't your fucking achievement to claim. You *co-opted* the FOSS community, you didn't fucking create it.

(This is the post in question, by the way: github.blog/2023-01-25-100-mil)

KIRK: Set phasers to stunning.

SPOCK: You mean stun, sir.

KIRK: *already backlit and shirtless* No Mr Spock.

@david@mstdn.ything.xyz @aurynn @maegul

if it's possible, someone *will* do it, eh? Nah, I reject that.

I think your point was to say "it is difficult or impossible to entirely prevent on a technical level", and I totally agree there.

But, man, there are so many basic fuckin' accessibility projects that haven't "just magically happened" because they're possible. Things get built because people care enough to build them. It's hard to look at what you said and not be bitter as fuck, and this is as someone who spends time building accessibility tools, but wanting more.

Being toxic to toxic developers saps the 'caring' out of their project and drains their energy, which usually shuts them down. It isn't a 100% solution, but it's pretty dang effective and requires no changes to code.

@thufie yeah, but phrased in a way that extends it to everyone else, it's the 'contempt culture' thing but applied to editors

@thufie idk, let other people use the tools they want to use? seems kinda pointless to push that preference

how the fuck is this Bring Me To Life techno remix actually so good

nice, away from home long enough today that my AQC CO2 sensor could callibrate

re: not playing devil's advocate 

@dysphoricunicorn yeah, that's the only reasonable use so far. so IMO if GTS gets anything like it, it'd just be for content warnings / media spoilers. Editing content seems super icky
