  • @OwOarchist @Rhoeri Unlike AI crawlers, search engines generally respect robots.txt and noindex tags, which will tell them not to index or surface those pages in search results. This is how fediverse profiles which have chosen to opt out of internet search indexes do so.

    You should still assume things you post in public with no auth required are public of course.

  • @Reisen Among other things, it's useful in terminals where the standard ctrl-c/ctrl-v send a control signal rather than copy/paste. Most terminals nowadays have some other copy/paste shortcut so it's less important now, but a lot of us still find it convenient.

  • @HubertManne I suspect that dropping the letters at a doorstep isn't the hard part. Letters require their own sorting infrastructure which can actually be quite complex, so doing this probably lets them streamline behind the scenes.

  • @alyaza As someone who's still very covid-conscious and an agoraohbe, takeout being widely available has been a boon. Still, the commentary on the experience lost resonates with me. I generally tend to favor certain kinds of meals that I know are going to tolerate being in 3 layers of container for half an hour and still be pretty good. I don't tend to get apps or dessert, since that just prolongs the degradation. It never occurred to me that restaurants would be actively prioritizing menu items that deliver well, but in retrospect it's obvious, and I think it's a bit sad to think about. There are so many meals that are much better served fresh and plated nicely in courses rather than slopped into a box.

    And before anyone chastises me for being "lazy" or relying on extractive services, I highly favor ordering directly from the restaurant and picking up. The deeply abusive nature of Doordash et al towards both customers and restaurants is not lost on me.

  • @EldritchFeminity @infinitesunrise I'm not sure if it's organized, but it does describe a specific school of thought that isn't just "I don't personally want to have kids." Antinatalists generally believe that it's unethical for anyone to reproduce. The core argument is usually that since you can't consent to being born, you can't ethically impose it on someone against their will. It tends to go hand-in-hand with misanthropic ideas such as that humans are destructive to the planet/fundamentally cruel or that life in general just sucks. Ultimately, the thesis is that humans should extinct ourselves. Given the current state of the world, it's gained some traction amongst groups of people trapped deep in despair right now. (Which, let's be real - there are a lot of on Lemmy)

  • @brickfrog @faruniversity1990 The dev saying it's about "information on how to fund the project" is being... misleading. Windows binaries from the project are paywalled, so alternate builds being distributed via Winget presents a pretty clear threat to that funding by being free and more convenient. They're well within their right to not distribute their own builds for free, but the misleading way it's framed here is not endearing... especially given this is a fork of another piece of FOSS software that will happily provide you Windows builds.

    As an aside, it really is so much better to have stuff distributed by a package manager. Who the hell wants to download an installer from Patreon for every new release, honestly. Some devs drive me crazy with their insistence on asinine distribution channels.

  • Our basic assumptions about photos capturing reality are about to go up in smoke.

  • @Gaywallet I have a couple thoughts on this:

    1. This seems like a way that device attestation could worm its way further into our devices. Right now Google is trying to watermark AI-generated photos as AI, but you could easily go the other way - if a photo hasn't been manipulated, it's signed with a key that is locked down to device attestation. What, your phone is rooted? That's kinda suspicious - how am I supposed to know your photos are real?
    2. Short of that, though, I suspect that the most likely consequence of this is the videos will start being increasingly seen as necessary for true proof, since those are harder to fake - for now, at least. And of course, there will be a lot more misinformation on the internet, especially in the short term while awareness of this catches up.
