@jdp23 @moderation @ansuz @Homebrewandhacking It's all cool đ.
Thank you for thinking of me Jon
But Sheesh there's a pipeline to the fediverse that ignores consent.
It's all about the content aggregation. Because obviously the fediverse only wins if everyone is on it /s đ
"So it still needs to be called out, because there's a pipeline to the Fediverse that thinks about the technical aspect first and the wider community a long time afterwards."

Of course!
From a consent perspective, I wonder whether it's paying attention to existing signals like indexable and discoverable on public posts?

@jdp23 @ansuz @Homebrewandhacking I suspect it isn't. Consent seems to be ignored a lot of the time, the exceptions are notable.
There's little excuse for ignorance now.

the fact that the apparent author links to readily.news from their masto bio but fails to mention that it's their project makes me think that they know what they're doing is sketchy.
people who are proud of their work tend to put their name on it, but even on the site itself there's zero mention of who's behind it. I only found confirmation of it because I went digging through old versions on archive.org

@jdp23 @onepict @ansuz @Homebrewandhacking I don't think so, considering followers-only posts are being scraped

Yeah you did great detective work -- and the FediForum session makes it clear it's him. And yes, he's not acting like somebody who's proud of it. So maybe I should initially approach him somewhat gently on Bluesky instead of confronting him with "you are thoroughly busted" in the first post.

Alternatively, if anybody else feels they can toot about this in a way that gets more traction, please do!
Maybe I ought to change the headline of my article to "Techbro builds Cambridge Analytica for the Fediverse" or something more inflammatory like that?
@ansuz honestly the observed facts are bad enough, don't sensationalize
-
Thanks @ansuz for the detailed writeup about readily.news. I can share the link with the guy who appears to be behind it on Bluesky if that would be useful, or alternatively start by engaging with him and asking questions.
@misc @haubles it looks like you were both at the fediforum session on Discovery and the Fediverse (algos, curation, interfaces). Do you happen to reember anything from the discussion about Readily, which at the time was "adding Brave Goggles to itâs daily digest to allow users to choose what gets boosted".
If you want a clickbait-y title another option is to include non-consensual, fediverse scraper, and LLM in it. That said the understaed approch of the current title is good too and it's style is more fedi-like. It's always hard to predict which of these incidents gets traction and which don't -- and stuff often flies under the radar for a while.

Come dici tu non dev'esserci UNA causa.
Io do una lettura non positiva a quello che osservo; non è che la gente si stia stufando dei social tradizionali (o meglio sÏ, ma in troppo pochi).
E' proprio che sono cambiate le abitudini al dialogo, a voler capire il punto di vista degli altri, o a imparare cose nuove.
E in questo, sĂŹ, i social tradizionali li ritengo uno dei principali responsabili.

@simonperry @Fulvio_952 Non saprei quali possano esser le cause. Probabilmente un insieme di cause. Forse stiamo anche un pĂł perdendo il gusto del dialogo ? Intendo in generale eh, non solo sui social. La voglia di mantenere una mente un pò aperta, di confrontarsi, di analizzare almeno in parte le cose anche attraverso âquattro chiacchiereâ scritte ?
Su temi piĂš âseriâ certamente credo Fulvio abbia almeno in parte toccato un tasto giusto. A volte si è sopraffatti dalla velocitĂ con cui cambiano anche drasticamente le cose.

@inherentlee I believe one would only need one o-ring, a touch of silicone grease, and a ton of liquid absorbent material to safely carry it around in case the plastic breaks, right? :D

it's just an old ipv4 silliness about number choices from earlier in my career, and loosely associated with my acquisition of too many rfc1918.$TLD domains.
Perhaps others do this too... I have a tendency to dis-prefer odd numbers (they're surely the devil's work, like left-handed people lol jk) and to prefer numbers in base 4 (who doesn't?). with that in mind, what are 192 and 254 but de-constructible objects of fun within the limits of v4 quad-notation?
```
192 == 64 x 3 == sixty-four PRIMEs, lovely
64 == winrar of numbers, obviously
64 == 16 x 4 == four is best-base, what could be better than four of fours?
64 == 4x4x4 == the best number cubed, lovely.254 == last addressable IP in a v4 (255 is a downward tangent, we won't go there now)
254 / 64 = 3.96 (evil, clearly)
254 / 4 = 63.5 (almost decent yet part of the curse)
254 / 2 = 127 (everyone knows where home begins)
```---
rfc1918.hosts = baremetal hosts
rfc1918.dev = dev systems
rfc1918.io = storage protocol scopes (iscsi, fcoe, roce, ib)
rfc1918.ai = GPU/ML compute VMs
rfc1918.systems = embedded systems
rfc1918.${others}there are several additional ones that I use for other roles, and while I could use subdomains to sort ... I also already use subdomains to sort. also, whoever owns rfc1918.net needs to sell it to me. :D

@vonblubba in che senso sbagliato? ne hai fatti troppo pochi? :D
