> Thing from the 20th century that killed millions of people was actually good and should be tried again and the only reason it failed was because of reasons (Jews, never been tried, ww2, ...) not because it's actually a terrible idea.

I am not against AI as a concept as I think machine learning programs can be useful for many tasks. I don't want to completely discredit an entire section of computer science research. I have even written some of my own machine learning programs.
But it is true that many companies at the moment are not behaving ethically in many aspects, like making their machine learning models proprietary and only usable behind a proprietary SaaSS API and lying to public about what their programs are capable of. I obviously do not support companies such as OpenAI, Twitter, Google or Facebook.
Of course the scraping they do is terrible too. It is essentially a DDOS attack and the companies doing this should be taking to court as conducting DDOS attacks is literally illegal in most parts of the world.
However I also think Anubis as a countermeasure is quite unacceptable for regular users just trying to read a website. It requires me to enable javascript and it also requires me to disable the JShelter browser addon (which is supposed to prevent malware from running on your machine). So what Anubis is doing is equivalent to malware, even though that is not the intend.
And even though it could be hijacked to make it malware, the people who use Anubis set it up themselves, and they obviously won't just let malware run on *their own website*. Overall, you're extremely unlikely to be up against malware with Anubis. If you're still worried, you should blame the scrapers, not the users of Anubis. Scraping costs them A LOT. They're doing this as self-defense and preservation.
GitHub - TecharoHQ/anubis: Weighs the soul of incoming HTTP requests to stop AI crawlers
Weighs the soul of incoming HTTP requests to stop AI crawlers - TecharoHQ/anubisGitHub
I do not want my computer to process a useless hash algorithm (which sometimes up to 2 minutes on my slower machines).
If you install Anubis, you're forcing me to run software on my computer that I don't want to run.
So even though there is no malicious intend, you're making me do things I don't want to do. I consider that malware.
If a website would require you to mine bitcoin for 2 minutes in order to access it that would be considered unacceptable.
So why is it suddenly considered acceptable in this case?
It is essentially the same result for the end user, their computing is doing things the user doesn't want it to do.
You need to understand that whatever tests you can make a scraper do, AI companies will try to (by)pass them. The only known solution to this problem that's available RIGHT NOW, because hosters need it to stop NOW, not after they figure out a new way to block scrapers, is Anubis. Hosters don't have the resources to jump method-to-method, test to test, block to block as soon as the thing they use gets inevitably passed by scrapers. They need something that WORKS and will KEEP working. Overall, I think you don't measure how much stress (financial, or resource-wise) this is putting on hosters. They are resorting to Anubis knowing that it's slow. They just can't afford to do anything else. To come back to the dilemma : you can only use Anubis, or make scrapers stop by getting their attention.
indeed, it isn't requiring you to mine bitcoin. it's worse: it's requiring you to waste your computing resources, so that the site doesn't have to waste fewer resources of its own. proof of waste is an overall environmental, security and freedom loss. blog.lx.oliva.nom.br/2025-03-2…

National Socialism.
Nationalism without capitalism.
Socialism without internationalism.
The greatest and strongest union of the people that ever existed in history of man
No other ideology could unite the nation and rally the people more
No other leader had stronger support
If I dare say it. Adolf Hitler did more for humanity than Jesus Christ himself
And he too was in the end sacrificed by the Jews
A people who exploit ever war and tragedy to their advantage and thus they crave more blood
Please do not compare National Socialism with the Jewish Socialism as described by the Jew Ludwig Von Mises
I didn't see the link when I first answered, I could only see Ur comment. But "Socialism" and Socialist economy as described by Mises had nothing to do with National Socialism.
If U claim that Adolf Hitler faked economic development then U are miss informed.
What National Socialists did under Adolf Hitler was not some political trick. They transformed the nation in a way that no other nation have done. Their progress have not seen the likes after or before.
Germany under that time was not a planed economy. Like I already said, it was nothing like communism.
U do well to actually read something.
Preferably not Jewish propaganda.
I have noticed a disturbing trend in #donation pages of respectable #charities.
In the course of the last few months, it seems that the options to designate a donation to a specific world region or conflict zone have been silently dropped, and replaced by generic "designate globally" donation forms.
Charities may always take the stand that they know best where donations should flow, of course.
I find it slightly unethical though to use photographs of the #Gaza genocide for fundraising, when donors are only informed in the small print that their donations are distributed world-wide.
If you know of trustworthy charities that don't follow this trend, please suggest the respective URLs in a reply. If you're a VPN user, by all means pick a US-based server for testing, and check where the respective donation link leads you to, before recommending it.
Boosts appreciated.

not for what it strives to preen as,
and more so,
people see past their "othering" hateful distraction ploy,
and even more so yet,
look to somewhere that's actually going to do something good.

ps, some of those stopped clocks could chirp well when it was just problem identification re-chirpings... but when you start probing them for what their ideas are in terms of an ideal outcome and means of remedy... wwwwow does the crazy come out. #weareinalotoftrouble #idiocracy #stultophobia

I was also shocked that Kim Iversen gave La Roughe a stage from time to time.
And I'll ask you again. Do you know La Rouche?
So I'm not just talking about hearsay. I know their methods, because I've often encountered them in some of their spin-offs. Sect is really the closest thing to it.

in reply to brainwavelost • • •Don't expect me to give you a definition right now.
I'll tell you how I differentiate between the two.
A sect is not a voluntary gathering of all sect members. There is at least peer pressure, but sometimes also deliberate psychological terror.
A cult, on the other hand, is something people join voluntarily.
That's what I mean about La Rouche.
It's often married couples who take on the leading role.
They set themselves apart from all other groups. They are very engaging. In left-wing circles, there are many circles that all have something sect-like about them, but even the MLPD would not be described as sectarian in the same way as La Rouche.
La Rouche members are very demanding; they quickly sell you a newspaper or something similar. This is in stark contrast to other left-wing groups.
La Rouche may have been anchored in the left-wing milieu at some point, but they are very technocratic, cybernetics, fusion reactors, etc. It's all very strange and, in some cases, unique to this group.
