Did you read them? somebody is spreading fear for no reason. It almost feels like they want people to use something else.

I had the same thought and I don't understand why you are being down-voted. All those "security issues" are a minor inconvenience at worst. I went through them twice and I am fine living with them in my publicly exposed instance (publicly just for myself and my wife wherever we are).

went there and down-voted everything

Yeah, in addition to the other million benefits. Like being much lighter, isn't a giant spyware, decent scripting engine, covers all features that office has and more (it had PDF export way earlier), ... My bachelor degree dissertation was in libreoffice in 2013. Since then, nobody can convince me to go back to Office.

Tell how chatgpt 2.0 isn't enough to replace these people, save a lot of money since they are overpaid & rid society from scumbags? You don't need to wait for chatgpt 17 to replace everyone else.

There s a place where you can name and shame in a permanent searchable record: https://wiki.rossmanngroup.com/wiki/Main_Page

Be the change you want.

I do agree. Maybe we could normalize having bots that duplicate the good posts from there and discuss them here. But yeah, it's not so obvious how to measure a "good post".

Not gonna lie. The analogy of native americans vs palestinians doesnt click for me. There were jews christians muslims living in relative peace before the plan of an israel was shoved down people throats in the region. This wasnt a new big island discovered by accident.

I would agree though that human life is equally important and displacing humans forcefully is always a terrible crime if this is what the analogy implies.

"Polls show that 99.9% of people like to take polls"

[–] idriss@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

That's true. Scrapping is a gold mine for the people that don't know. I worked for a place which crawls the internet and beyond (fetches some internal dumps we pay for). There is no chance a zip bomb would crash the workers as there are strict timeouts and smell tests (even if a does it will crash an ECS task at worst and we will be alerted to fix that within a short time). We were as honest as it gets though, following GDPR, honoring the robots file, no spiders or scanners allowed, only home page to extract some insights.

I am aware of some big name EU non-software companies very interested in keeping an eye on some key things that are only possible with scraping.

I remember the millionaire who wanted to prove that he could rebuild his wealth if he started from scratch again. He cheated a little bit because he used his friend apartment for free.

Fast forward, he gave up after a couple of months and understood what the rest of us knew for ages.

Wealthy people are delusional and no amount of reasoning will work with them.
