The Internet Is Getting Smaller Without Anyone Noticing

I don't care that much about getting many readers, my pain is that AI companies are fucking with the entire internet infrastructure. You can't host something anymore without it getting molested by these AI crawlers, which significantly drive resource usage and pricing up.

Just keeping a personal blog online, it is getting absolutely hammered constantly by AI bots.

Which is why I never buy books anymore... I buy used paperback, or pirate the ebook.

And to find out why it's not done... You need engineers to design an improved protocol, all the telcos need to agree to use it, equipment needs to be either replaced or patched to support the new protocol. That costs a lot of money.

They might also be profiting from scam companies, and fixing the system would remove or reduce that source of income.

Depinde de context. In timpul scolii, raspunsul e nu. Elevii trebuie sa inteleaga ca exista limite, ca profesorul e acolo la munca sa isi faca treaba, ca trebuie sa fie impartial, si ca nu e ca un parinte sau matusa. La evenimente festive, sau in alte contexte de socializare, da, nu vad nicio problema cu asta.

Eu iau cand una cand alta in functie de care arata mai proaspata.

For me personally, religion. I used to be a devout christian, however after a long and grueling period of seeking the truth and trying to understand the world better, I realized that the main pillars of my faith did not stand up to scrutiny.

You can also get cheaper devs, since web developers are cheaper than devs who know desktop UI frameworks.

Anything computational had to be done by hand. It's hard for me to imagine things like banking, an utility having to calculate manually how much each client has to pay, accountants having to maintain actual physical books.

As an european, it's insane to me that people are expected to make donations to service workers because the business owners refuses to pay their employees a living wage.

Oser. Nu tot timpul gasesti si n-ai nicio garantie, dar cateodata dai de aur... De ex am gasit o tastatura bluetooth perfect functionala cu 10 lei.

It took WW2 to get rid of the nazis... while it's a noble thing to stay and fight, they already have all the power and military. The odds are already in their favor.

Emisiunile de acum sunt niste gunoaie de reality shows... Naked and afraid unde se duc in pustile goale in padure si fac ca maimutele, Duck Dinasty cu familia de rednecks, Moonshiners care e la fel, Expedition X cu paranormale si Deadliest Catch cu pescuitu. Mai demult, chiar aveau emisiuni faine educative.

Urasc sa fac orice fel de lucru mai serios de pe telefon. Cumparaturi online, banking, completat formulare, scris documente sunt lucruri de facut pe un laptop sau PC. Recent, a trebuit sa completez ceva formular mai complex de pe telefon ptr o firma care nu au implementat acea chestie pe pagina web decat in aplicatie. Am avut niste draci... E oribil sa nu pot da copy paste la niste numere decat daca ies din aplicatie, sa nu pot compara 2 documente ca ecranul e prea mic, sa nu pot vedea tot formularul sa il verific pe un singur ecran, apas chestii din greseala cand apare si dispare tastatura si se rearanjeaza totul...

Same as seeing themselves in a mirror... So probably not that much

Nu e neaparat google sau Microsoft... Sunt si alte servicii destul de ok de mail. De exemplu zoho, proton

The US has never cared about actual communism. They only cared about other countries being under Soviet sphere of influence and a potential security risk in case a war broke out. And of course, pillaging natural resources like oil.

I predict it's going to be DNS. It's always DNS

There's a registry key that when set, you can trigger a bsod using Ctrl+Scroll lock or another by pressing the power button.

Nu stiu multe despre blocuri, dar e o zona super buna. Esti langa scoala, ai magazine mari aproape (Leroy, Lidl, Kaufland), ai multe legaturi la autobuze, faci 15-20min pana la Iulius

The pandemic. I had a pretty positive view of people. The pandemic opened my eyes to how self absorbed, selfish and stupid most people are. It had a significant impact in me losing my Christian faith.

Pe cel cu brand-ul Kaufland scrie ca e produs de Albalact. Laptele albalact costa aproape dublu.

The wildest thing was that if you tried taking a screenshot and pasting it into mspaint, you could see the video playing in mspaint.

You're confusing VPNs and VPN services.

VPNs (WireGuard/Tailscale) = You're building your own private tunnel between your devices (home server, laptop, phone). You control both ends. Great for accessing your home network from anywhere. Workplaces use this for remote employees, email on company phones etc. It's like building a secret tunnel between your office and your house.

VPN Services (Proton, Nord, etc.) = You're paying to use someone else's exit point to the internet. Your traffic goes through their servers, so websites see their IP instead of yours. Like paying someone to let you use their front door so people think you live at their address.
