It’ll probably be done with an overlay/prompt for the user to click on (Unless the advertiser is paying for exposure and not direct traffic idk). But such a popup would provide a hook for a patched version of yt-dl to detect the ad and trim it out of the final video.

Also, shouldn’t a forum signature at all should be enough to screw with AI scrapers? No need to link to anything specific

Semantic/licensing quibbles aside, these futo guys seem pretty based (affectionate). They even use the word “normies” in their goals/value statement.

Seriously tho, with power/wealth as lopsided as it is in america, we really need capitalist class traitors to get anything done and I’m glad people like this exist

well good news, the readme implies they are planning on it

I would look into rclone. From what I remember it can mount e.g. google drive to disk

I graduated school before smartphones were everywhere but I got a pretty mad when I learned about this. the kids are not ok

Doesn’t blahaj zone already run a sharkey instance?

At least this way they’ll have to work to scrape it instead of getting it for “free”

so take it up with gargron, why complain to individual users…

do they really get blocked? It doesn’t make sense to block all tlds except for a whitelist imo. As of spammers can’t just buy a .com domain

Those are the things that artists use as income to pay their bills and draw what they actually care about. If they get taken over by AI it really does mean less meaningful art for the rest of us.

The solution of course isn’t fighting ai any more that the solution for textile workers was fighting automated looms. Our fight isn’t really with AI, it’s with AI being run by centralized private corporations that suck up all the surplus value created by AI and reinvesting it into pointless shit that we don’t have a say in… while we get table scraps. (again this applies for any tech innovation not just ai). Our collective labor helped create it so we should have a say in how it is run.

wish more “AI bros” would acknowledge this but lots of them seem to either not care at all or want to get rich off it themselves

ooh could we have another colorful polygonal bird please? Preferably one that looks like a hawk

They removed it from the main body as like, an organizing principle. and left it in only one sentence at the end. https://gizmodo.com/google-removes-nearly-all-mentions-of-dont-be-evil-from-1826153393

That is so cool I didn’t realize lemmy and mastodon were different views into the same database, assumed they were different services with no overlap except some underlying tech (I don’t know much about fediverse structure). But how does that work with like, character limits? Iirc lemmy can have much longer comments

Wait are you messaging from mastodon?? Is that why the emoji won’t render

Yeah fair enough. I’m still kind of invested in this drama because I was sort of unhappy with how the hexbear admins handled it (Ada’s complaint about the turnaround time was valid imo). Even switched from blahaj to hexbear and then to lemmee (because it federates with both lol)

Wait wdym “we decided to defed before federation started”? Does “we” mean like a subcommunity on hexbear disagreeing with federation?

God I wish that were true but there are a LOT of people (well, conservatives) who are vehemently against wider society allowing cross dressing or medical transition. It’s not 90% :(

Leftists aren’t actually too big on respecting ancestors, but I can imagine it as something a monarchist would say before being executed by communists during the civil war.
