  • when we stupidize our enemies, we lose sight of how to fight them

  • call me optimistic but i think he's just having a laugh

  • You shouldn't be posting that without the context in that comment:

    FYI, the article was presumably taken down because many of the quotes turned out to have been fabricated, and they said they were investigating this. (I don’t think that they are trying to cover up anything, just that they have not gotten around to written an official response yet, given that this is a recent development.)

    Ugh, that is utterly disappointing to see from Ars Technica. Here’s a bit of context about it: https://mastodon.social/@nikclayton/116065459933532659

    Fortunately, the article was already archived, for what it’s worth: https://web.archive.org/web/20260213194851/https://arstechnica.com/ai/2026/02/after-a-routine-code-rejection-an-ai-agent-published-a-hit-piece-on-someone-by-name/

  • I agree the dispute is stupid, but IMO the more important part here is anrchive.today's undisclosed execution of malware to try and win a dispute.

  • 34 (mainly non–core Anglosphere newspapers) of the 121 platforms TWL can give you access to require an application. The rest you can access automatically, instantaneously right now as long as you meet the stats.

    I mentioned that this (only) solves one (of two) major problems archive.today was used to solve: paywalls. This is also very workable; you already have major newspapers like Haaretz and WSJ available on TWL.

    I also mentioned that the backcatalogue problem can be solved by running a different archiving service on the existing archive.today URLs we use.

  • I am an active editor lol. I'm saying that the proposal is to establish something similar to TWL for media URLs. It would serve the same purpose for editors as a major complaint in the discussion was over addition of Archive.today links to bypass paywalls. Obviously developing this deal would take a lot of work but it is workable.

    You must first apply to gain access.

    That's not true. Anyone who meets the stats you mentioned may access TWL.

    the WML does not host any of these publications

    Indeed, that's what makes it legally sound and prevents us from needing to relicense. We don't need to license the content to copyleft for the thing to work.

  • No, you do not need real time chat, you need searchable, permanent presence

    why not both? Discourse is really nice but it's a forum, not IRC or Matrix

  • I disagree, but we'll see what they do with it

  • Server owners must apply an age-restricted label to any channels that contain sexually explicit content involving adults or content involving adults that is shared solely for the purposes of sexual gratification.

    nothing else needs to be age-restricted, and age restriction of topics you mentioned would be big news for discord. pluralkit's home is discord and has great influence there, and the lgbtq+ community definitely has a larger presence than the plural community

  • only changes for the unverified:

    • Channels, servers, and commands set to age-restricted will be inaccessible
    • DM requests deemed "sensitive" will be inaccessible
    • "Sensitive content" will be blurred
    • Won't be able to become a speaker in "stage" channels, a special type where a few videoconferencers have a meeting where anyone else can watch and type but not videoconference; verified watchers can be invited to speak
    • DMs from unfamiliar users will be routed to a separate "warning"

    nothing else

    I think this is business as usual...

  • she was trying to fly from Boston to Texas, where her parents were, and deported to Honduras

  • transport chaos

  • Their back end now has to have the compute power to encode and serve up gigabits of streaming video for anything more than ~50 concurrent users

    it's actually the customers' bandwidth, not theirs. everything is self-hosted by the customer.

    not sure if that's worse

  • it seems like they sometimes need to stream the finished app coded, too

    (still no need for 60 fps...)

  • useless

    People are paying them for it, so it's useful enough apparently.

  • Could someone link us to where he actually says this? Sorry for killing the mood but I’m skeptical of extraordinary claims that don’t have extraordinary coverage. Or are OC Media and Ostorozhno Novosti usually reliable?
