  • Codeberg: army of AI crawlers are extremely slowing us; AI crawlers learned how to solve the Anubis challenges.

  • No, it's expensive to comply (at a massive scale), but easy to avoid. Just change the user agent. There's even a dedicated extension for bypassing Anubis.

    Even then AI servers have plenty of compute, it realistically doesn’t cost much. Maybe like a thousandth of a cent per solve? They're spending billions on GPU power, they don't care.

    I've been saying this since day 1 of Anubis but nobody wants to hear it.

  • up to 1000x energy consumption efficiency in these workloads

    Seems like a win to me

  • A good example were those Apple AI ads. So cringe. Google's ads aren't much better but at least Gemini works.

  • The point they're trying to make is that while Apple location collects anonymized data, the app itself could collect that data and send it off with a unique identifier. Like Strava except it's spyware. It has location and internet permissions, and the App Store data privacy thing is self reported and not necessarily factual. We can't know unless we dissect the app because it's not open source. Right now it seems they're not doing that, but nothing is stopping them.

    Android's Fused Location Provider, even though it's provided by Google Play Services, works in the same way and is just as private as Apple's location API. They are both on device with anonymized data sent back. So IDK what the devs are talking about. But I am interested in their blog post.

  • Fused Location Provider data sent to Google is anonymized with a temporary device id anyway. They also can't tell if you needed location for this, maps, or Pokémon Go. But they do sometimes collect GPS, WiFi, and cell data. Not using it is more private but I don't think it's worth worrying about.

  • Which Distros Are Doing Best Currently?

  • Disable automatic updates in Gnome Software them do them manually via dnf.

  • You're on a forum right now, no? I think a lot of Discords have accompanying Reddits and vice versa, hopefully they start using Lemmy. But forums are still popular. Just not Ye Olde BBS

  • Please support this! As graphic designers we should be able to use a open source OS.

  • By the time they get feature parity I'll be dead. Affinity is just plain better right now, and it's not Adobe.

  • Why Sha256? Literally every processor has a crypto accelerator and will easily pass. And datacenter servers have beefy server CPUs. This is only effective against no-JS scrapers.
