This is unfortunate. I've been advocating for Firefox and managed to switch many of my friends. This is where I draw the line.

Time to switch to something else.

to what tho?....

May I suggest we switch to a gopher or gemini internet?

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

But what if I need info from the main web?

One thing about gopher/gemini is that it's practically designed to be easily scraped by AI.

Which I'd consider not a variable anylonger tbh: anything on the internet that is not put behind a login wall should be assumed as scrapped, machines can work 24/7 like humans and downloading is easy.

Like sure, we gotta fight that, but technology for open access is not the field where that fight has to be fought.
