And because of entities like Google, legal and ethical rarely intersect.

Yeah. Guilty. I shoulda called that out to save some clicks. Lol. Publisher.
I don’t really know of anyone that uses it… Even when I was working in an endpoint team, I don’t remember anyone ever asking for it. Hmm.

Please add the name of the software to the end of the title.
Not mad or anything, but it’ll save some clicks.😁

Maybe it’s a translation issue, we have
- rivers
- streams
- creeks
- Brooks and
- runs
…
Maybe they just have the 2 words so there’s information lost in translation?
- Comment on Google sues web scraper for sucking up search results ‘at an astonishing scale’ 2 days ago:
…and major streams. Don’t forget major streams!
I don’t know shit though, I just pulled that from Wikipedia to support a really bad pun.🤣 - Comment on Monster of 2025: Endless subscriptions 3 days ago:

There are 257 rivers and major streams on the Crimean peninsula.
Each of them are Crimean and therefore qualify for use in the mockery of any tech giant of my choosing via extremely bad puns.
However… Image

- Comment on Age Verification Is Coming For the Internet. We Built You a Resource Hub to Fight Back. 6 days ago:
You are exactly correct and you’re definitely justified in your frustration. It’s laws like this that caused me to stop using Blue sky because Blue sky decided that they would go ahead and ask for age verification in advance of their actual legal obligation to do so.
On principle I felt required to stop using the service but in addition to that it’s a clear violation and really Blue sky just isn’t worth it.
So instead of doing the age verification I just froze my account and haven’t looked back. I deleted all of my posts and all of my likes and the account is sitting there idle in case they decide to change their mind. I don’t think it’s going to happen, I think they’re too afraid of litigation.

You’re right. It wouldn’t. So what happens when enforcement begins?
Server relocation?
How’s that work?
This is my concern.
They’ll just call it a terrorist enclave or a pedo ring and it’s small enough that it can be disappeared.

- Comment on Resources to Fight AI Sloppification At Work 1 week ago:
I understand that. I’ve found through extensive means that if sandwiches were free, my coworkers would still starve.
I’m working on figuring out why they’re not hungry.

This is a cool resource, I just wish my coworkers cared enough to organize. Tried and failed already.

I think you root for better antitrust and copyright protections, no? Seems like that author was suffering from a failure of imagination.

I read all the words, but all I can see is the Em dash. I do hope it there as a little joke. I do so love when people make that kind of little joke.
