https://blog.archive.org/event/the-web-weve-built-celebrating-1-trillion-web-pages-archived/@internetarchive I notice my websites are still being scraped by your bots even though I manually denied all bots in my domains' robots.txt files a year or two ago. WayBackMachine was great before the age of modern AI, but not now. I don't want companies using your APIs to scrape my archived content to train their AI models. I thought I read if I denied bots in robots.txt, you'd automatically pull related website content from your archives... but my content remains on your servers.

@jay @internetarchive that's not how robots.txt works. It only prevents new downloads. If you want to ask them to remove already archived data, check here: https://help.archive.org/help/how-do-i-request-to-remove-something-from-archive-org/

@jay @internetarchive I don't know if Archive.org makes their archives available for AI training. There's a good how-to from WIRED on how to opt out.

@jay @internetarchive you may have been thinking of Common Crawl, which does make its crawl data available for LLM training. See here for opt-out info:

@evan @internetarchive Thanks for your info, Evan. My main concern is I notice the WayBackMachine has a copy of my websites in 2025, as recent as July, although I denied bots in 2024 or 2023 for all of my domains. I don't believe many companies are adhering to "robots.txt" contents, but Google Search currently is. Unfortunately, the only way to really protect a website today is to require user account login (secure session) to wall-off public content from web scraping.

@GiorgiaMecojoni Tra l'altro dall'anteprima del video i sottotitoli sembrano proprio in romano 🤣

@MikeInTheGarden Always be afraid of old ladies nattering in a cluster like that; gossiping about satan knows what

You know what WON’T get stuck in the Strait of Hormuz?
Solar and wind energy
-
@iFixit But does it run Linux without jumping through HP-style hoops?
-
@jcarax Oh totally, but QCom is also not really known for keeping up their promises and r/n every laptop of theirs was something of a letdown. The MBA is there already so I'm not in the market of buying new anyway.

Trump wants regime change in Iran. History suggests that could lead to a long, complicated struggle

@ljrk It's better than a lot of laptops 15-20 years ago, in the dark days of compatibility. But DP alt and video decoding are pretty big shortcomings still. I do like it as a highly portable, passively cooled machine, but we'll hopefully see Snapdragon Elite support mature, and passive machines offered with that. The waiting game for new Macbooks to get hacked together support isn't great.

@iFixit fwiw I’ve had a bad experience with Lenovo. My ($1300) pc will freeze unexpectedly, randomly. And especially if the logi receiver is unplugged. No answer from the company as to how that gets fixed. And Linux can’t be installed on this model
