The end game for the web to be scraped into entries in a database to be displayed by real software instead of a web browser.

It should content block itself.

What rules there are rules? Ban my account I will make a new one until you ban Tor and make an article about how Tor is toxic. YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM, DICKFUCK. In your world,…

You just confused me with someone else. Cloudflare gives me a hard time as a user only. When you view a page with a proxy or shared IP address, you have to solve a captcha or enabl…

First of all, we have this blog post at least once a year, like top commenter has said. Second, uh, no, you're a moron. Open source now is just completely commercialized. Firefox l…

I don't see how being a "gaming" [1] video streaming service implies that you need to take action against gambling that is implemented via it. They will just move somewhere else. S…

> last paragraph You can't safely paste anything into the shell ever lol. For multiple reasons. It doesn't matter how much visual inspection you do.

Thanks for saving me a reply lol

And it's an invalid point. Scraping prevention is the most stupid thing Cloudflare has ever done, and that's after a very long list.

Please tell me the specific way you check your stuff before pasting so I can tell you how it's either broken or you're the 0.001% user and nobody else does that. I've always just p…

How is it possible to be so wrong on so many levels in just two sentences? 1. Your epistemic reasoning capabilities are broken (as in, why do you think people should know better?) …

Every point in the article is obvious. As a script kiddie pasting stuff from the internet (including stuff from the victim's website) back in the day, I was acutely aware of the fa…

Ah yes, the legendary UN*X hacker who never pastes into his terminal.
