You can load the script into violentmonkey (minus the last line because it kept refreshing the page) and it’s applied automatically that way. You can also submit it to GreasyFork to make it searchable.
Personally I find chat models that don’t provide sources to be completely useless, that’s why I use Perplexity (occasionally).
Anything is possible with Linux if you pfaff around long enough. But I think you’ll need a controller with USB receiver, you can’t do it directly with Bluetooth.
Consoles have a whole other processor that looks for inputs like that while the main processor remains off. Those don’t make much sense for PCs.
Wow nuance much?
There’s plenty of nuance but that’s not relevant in generalities.
there’s a lot of good happening there too.
No one said it’s all bad. There’s lots of good everywhere. That doesn’t mean everywhere is an equally good place.
Have you been to China? If not, you should 100% go and check it out for yourself!
What am I going to find out by going there that I can’t read about? That I’ve been lied to? That the CCP isn’t blocking information about Tianenmen Square and other govt atrocities? That the mere act of protesting isn’t illegal? That they aren’t murdering dissidents? Privacy in it’s entirety isn’t illegal?
If they set strict level, all bots are blocked.
I don’t know what you don’t understand. These bots are not labeling themselves as bots. They are camouflaging themselves to look like any other type of traffic.
VC funding happens because the result is profitable.
No, VC funding happens because investors are duped into thinking the result is profitable.
What is blocked depends on what the website owner sets as settings in cloudflare.
And how does the owner know which connections are bots?
If they have to crawl the web while behaving like a normal human, it will be magnitudes slower and more costly.
They don’t care, they have trillions of dollars of VC money to power through.
they can literally just block the connection
block which connection? Again, these AI companies know people don’t want them crawling their sites and they do everything they can to be invisible. This has been an issue for years at this point.
just like they do with their DDoS mitigation
blocking DDoS is trivial by comparison.
they can already block VPN traffic unless it goes through their VPN
Yeah that’s how most VPNs work.
their whole business model is based on them being a man in the middle that decrypts ssl and analyses the requests plainly
Okay? Analyze all you want. They can’t stop bots on any of the other sites they regulate either.
about a third of the worldwide websites are using cloudflare so they have a pretry good birds eye view on behaviour of any machine that will be visiting a lot of websites
Great. Bots intentionally change up their behavior and identifying information as to be undetected.
Guardian Project remains committed to producing free software. But for some of our key use cases, it is unfortunately not yet possible to address them without including some proprietary libraries in our free software apps. This means that the Guardian Project repository is no longer included in F-Droid by default.
Can’t be at all to do with the fact that Android has a much more open development and installation platform
Less to do with the “development platform” and more to do with the fact that you literally can’t install them on iOS devices because Apple would never approve them, and you need their blessing to get it installed.
In terms of cost, Android devices are much cheaper
Used to be. Not so much anymore. At least not the high end ones. Google reached price parity with Apple in the last generation.
This is, IMO, the biggest problem with FB and IG. They’ve replaced personal connections. I know some women who say they won’t date anyone without an IG account.
and it feels too personal to ask for someone number when I just met them
Someone’s number is literally just a series of digits. Social Media has their fuckin’ life’s story. I’d say it’s far less personal.
You can use topic B as an illustration for topic A
Sometimes yes. In this case, no.
Do you think it is absolutely infeasable to implement one that would detect adnauseum specifically?
I think the users of such products are extremely low (especially since they’ve been kicked from Google store) that it wouldn’t be worth their time.
But no, I don’t think they could either. It’s just an automation script that runs actions the same way you would.
filtering out random false data seems trivial
As far as I know, none of them had random false data so I’m not sure why you would think that?
In comparison to that it seems extremely complicated to algorithmically figure out what exact customized lie you have to tell to every single inidividual to manipulate them into behaving a certain way. That probably needed a larger team of smart people working together for many years.
I feel like you’re greatly exaggerating the level of intelligence at work here. It’s not hard to figure out people’s political affiliations with something as simple as their browsing history, and it’s not hard to manipulate them with propaganda accordingly. They did not have an “exact customized lie” for every individual, they just grouped individuals into categories (AKA profiling) and showed them a select few forms of disinformation accordingly.
[other data] + clicks ALL the ads like all the other adnauseum people
adnauseum does not click “all the other ads”, it just clicks some of them. Like normal people do. Only those ads are not relevant to your interests, they’re just random, so it obscures your online profile by filling it with a bunch of random information.
Judging by incidents like the cambridge analytica scandal, the algorithms that analyze the data are sophisticated enough to differentiate your true interests
Huh? No one in the Cambridge Analytica scandal was poisoning their data with irrelevant information.
When it comes to AI models, China is streets ahead in openness.
No one was talking about openness, we were talking about data collection.
All openai data goes to the NSA
Online deepseek data goes to the CCP. Local models stay private.
You’re comparing online models with local models. Local OpenAI models are also private.
The only people believing that Americans are superior in everything are Americans.
Good thing no one said that. It’s not just America either. Most countries are significantly more free than China (and Russia and North Korea), and if you don’t believe that, you need to open your eyes.
The VPN has nothing to do with your phone’s location settings.
Yes, plus it’s a shared server so it makes it harder for websites to know your location or to track your activities across sites.
