I personnaly agree with you. If content is not supposed to be searchable, maybe don't post it online. It is a different problem for writers, artists and possibly even journalists.

But I think it's a fair debate - unfortuantely one that was one (or the only?) reason the whole reddit API debacle startetd.

On the other hand maybe Lemmy should allow certain communities allow an "only for members" view?

 

Will we try to prevent google (and other) scrapers?

The headline is pretty much a summary. "Google Says It will Scrape Everything You Post Online for AI" https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2023/07/google-says-it-will-scrape-everything-you-post-online-for-ai/

The first question is obviously; do we as a community on Lemmy even want to try and stop them from scraping our content here? If no; well. ok then.

If yes; how? I'm not sure if "preventing access" to unregistered users would really prevent this. Pretty sure google has enough money and manpower to figure out a way to make it their mission to get around "can only accessed by members" content.

Nah. I’m good thanks. Maybe on a 90% sale.

But I’m not going to RE-buy what it should have been in the first place. And it’s not going to be.

I have not touched reddit since this debacle... I added a bunch of subreddits to my RSS reader, but I'm honestly not looking at it.

Unfortunately searching for information often brings me to a reddit post, but I'm trying to avoid it and so far found the information elsewhere.

yea. the whole thing smells like a dead fish in sun.

evolution works ok, I just don't like the look and feel. There's a lot of customization possible ... but it's just not for me somehow. so far the thunderbird beta is quite nice.

This looks interesting as well. Going to check this :) Cheers @Fryboyter@discuss.tchncs.de !

If that wasn’t abstract enough … there was Ren & Stimpy.

[–] Screak42@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

uh. that looks promising! I heard about it but that was a long time ago and I forgot. thanks @sibloure@beehaw.org :)

 

Hey!

I'm looking for a better mail experience. I love the look and feel of Geary, but it (still) doesn't have PGP. And from the looks it's not going to happen any time soon...

I hate the look and feel of evolution and thunderbird (and the betterbird clone) ...

I need PGP to work within the client (yes I can PGP crypt messages anywhere in the terminal etc...) but I need the integration.

I consider betterbird my current only workaround, but I'm looking for alternatives. I'm really bad at coding so I can't participate in the Geary project as much as I would like to do it.

FYI: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/geary/-/issues/6

I always wished this would be on the 1.st setup startpage of every home router. ever. It would make me very happy

[–] Screak42@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 year ago

Same. And all I got was the one with 4 colours.

I get your point and I agree to an extend. However I disagree with any kind of tracking or analysis of user data. I'd rather pay money for software - no subscription. I'm ok paying for updates or upgrades now and then.

I'm also happy to donate (and did) but I'm also mad and paranoid enough to doubt such button actually turns this feature off.

[–] Screak42@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

True. Unfortunately I'm paranoid enough to have to create network captures until I believe it's actually off. And even then... I'm unable to prove it doesnt send off a package of data after a certain amount of time.

 

my firefox (iOS) enabled sponsored shortcuts and I hate it. Yes I can disable it - I still hate it.
