@glyph Did you quote post something?

@glyph
Did you quote post something? It's not showing up for me (official app).

[glyph@mastodon.social]

@jannem yeah, check on the web I guess?

[jannem@fosstodon.org]

@glyph
Yep, works there. Will be a bit awkward for a while until apps catch up I guess.

@glyph I never thought of myself as running a "FediFiefdom lonely manor" but I do think that idea is pretty funny.

@glyph "harrassing people has never changed their mind"

well to be fair, nobody's accused her of trying to change anybody's mind

@sandorspruit @grimalkina thank you for saying so, that's definitely what I was going for. this was somewhat intentional; when I lampoon this type of behavior I try to make the lead-in very brief and the punchline _extremely_ obvious since overly-subtle satire of this sort of sexism is just more sexism

[grimalkina@mastodon.social]

@glyph @sandorspruit I love when people yell for and with me

@nickzoic the behavior of LLM scrapers is beyond deranged. I have no idea why they act the way they do. It's deeply counterproductive and practically designed to cause a catastrophic, cascading failure of all the infrastructure they rely on to exist

[jonathankoren@sfba.social]

@nickzoic @glyph common crawl isn’t updated quickly, and they want the newest stuff. Still, their behavior is just absolutely asinine. Most pages don’t update.

I heard this week that Wikipedia was complaining about scrapers, and I was like, “You stupid shits! Just download the database! They publish it for that exact reason!”

[matt@toot.cafe]

@glyph Have you had to implement any anti-scraper measures on your own site yet?

[glyph@mastodon.social]

@matt No. I don't handle that much traffic and the fact that it's 99% static means that it pretty much never gets overloaded. if I start adding more dynamic content I might have to revisit that

@glyph i wish vulpine labs was able to raise that much

@glyph don't give corporate america ideas D:

@aeva my message to CEOs about this particular piece of advice is "do it. I fucking dare you"

[jay@oldos.me]

@glyph @aeva The amount of problems in our world caused by expenses that are paid by everyone else in the world is staggering -- and all because you can't put out an invoice for them. Climate change being the gold star example but not the only example.

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@glyph I'm sure it'll get reverse engineered pretty quickly if it hasn't been already. There's lots of people out there who read disassembled shaders for a living.

[glyph@mastodon.social]

@aeva I'm sure there will be attempts but I don't think the kind of team that has the leisure for shader RE'ing are also going to use that capacity to meticulously create a pixel-accurate simulacrum

[aeva@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@glyph there's some valiant efforts to reverse it other ways https://www.shadertoy.com/results?query=liquid+glass I would not under estimate the human spirit's ability to fuss over tiny details.

[glyph@mastodon.social]

@aeva I do not know any shader languages and I'm painfully bad at math but I have played around with this stuff enough at this point that I can, like, *smell* SDFs now

[cthos@mastodon.cthos.dev]

@aeva @glyph Shaders are so cool. They hurt my brain, but they are so cool.
