Here's a #VPN experiment for you...
1. Select #Chicago as your VPN's connection endpoint.
2. Go to https://deviantart.com
3. Find out your page request is blocked by #Cloudflare
4. Reselect a new endpoint to Toronto, CA
5. Reload your blocked browser
6. Hmmmm - weird, huh?
Why do I get the feeling we're being punked, or is this just a prelude to more GOP web nonsense? Why DeviantArt, you may ask? I wanted to see something there, and got curious... otherwise, I have no clue why.

@lumiworx I'm not on a VPN but I am in Chicago, and I was able to open deviant art just fine.

Yeah, I don't suspect a standard route would be affected by this kind of block. This is explicitly tied to VPN routing checks, and the reason I find this so odd.
I can only assume someone has put in a rule set somewhere that filters against a list of known IP's, or browser signatures, or similar, but the question then seems to be... why, and why specifically that site...?

@lumiworx could be that someone was misbehaving with that particular vpn endpoint

@sauc3 @mcc @slembcke also, the more contributors a project has the harder it is to guarantee none of them tried to pass off "ai" generated code as their own and managed to get it into review. Having a policy to at least require it be labeled so it can be given appropriate scrutiny might result in less of it getting in than an outright ban (and definitely less than having no policy at all). Hard to say, I'd rather ban it, but people are more honest when the answer is "maybe" instead of "no".
-
@sauc3 @mcc @slembcke to be clear, everything gets worse because of this, and the only difference is the speed of the metamorphosis into liquid shit. The BSD ecosystem (especially in the application space) is not exactly hermetically sealed off from the Linux ecosystem.
-
@sauc3 @mcc @slembcke there's also (hopefully) a difference between allowing "ai" contributions so long as they bear the mark of shame, vs a CEO mandating that all employees hook up the bullshit machine to their golden goose to foie gras it with entropy as fast as humanly possible
-
@Gina personally, I'm usually very thankful for new experiences in life - especially with travel 😊
-
@sauc3 @mcc @slembcke if this is the news I think we're talking about, the Fedora project leadership voted to allow "ai" generated contributions provided that substantial uses of it are labeled accordingly. This would mean that software that is developed and maintained by the Fedora project may have "ai" generated code in it soon, but that does not necessarily mean that other Linux distributions are "infected". It also does not necessarily mean that other Linux distributions are not "infected"

Oh a me piace anche senza formaggio, marinara, con i carciofi, il pesto di pistacchio e il radicchio, ai funghi etc
-
So I guess my question is twofold.
Are all Linux distributions infected with "AI"? If not, which ones are safe to migrate to?
It doesn't have to be Linux either, it could be a Unix flavor like BSD, if that is an option. I, too, want to get as far away from "AI" as possible.

@Gina I'm voting familiar and easy. You'll have plenty of time for hectic when you get back.

Pritzker pointing out that ICE lies first and immediately, knowing journalists will catch up later if at all.'nComing from a sitting US governor, that’s an amazing breakthrough.
