[Guy looking at butterfly]: Is this an algorithm?

That’s is the thing: I typically don’t find new feeds unless I specifically look for them (using web search, podcast websites etc). It leaves me the fuck alone, and I love that about RSS.

Wow, I didn’t know about either, Wikipedia speedruns or JKR’s Holocaust denialism. Thanks, OP.

Kids today will never know the horror of having to sit through Crazy Frog TV commercials.

TIL those braincells I lost drinking as a teen banded together and started their own Wikipedia.

on Aaron Swartz was prosecuted for scraping, while Meta does it without consequence in c/technology@lemmy.world · 21 Aug 2026
He didn’t publish them, as far as I know. The charges brought against him were centered around the allegedly “fraudulent” use of his JSTOR account and the fact that he downloaded the files from the premises of an institution he did not belong to by plugging his laptop in a network switch in a restricted area where he wasn’t allowed to be. The actual deed was minor, likely not even criminal as far as digital rights were concerned, and the charges were famously so out of proportion that even other attorneys and legal scholars questioned them publicly. The publishers wanted to make an example, and it drove Swartz into suicide before a proper trial could be held.
Meta and other companies do essentially the same thing at a much larger scale and with the clear intent to monetize it through publishing AI models built on top of it all. The main difference is the legal climate, which has changed since/due to Swartz, and the lack of clarity that the law has for these new applications. Substantively though, there is a good bit of hypocrisy here, and it makes sense to point this out.

on Behold, "the whole story of Steam's economy in one picture": the top 1% of games earn 84.5% of estimated revenue, and most games barely make anything in c/games@lemmy.world · 20 Aug 2026
I think this is really where it’s at. If this article was supposed to criticize Steam, the criticism should be that they will need to do better QA to fend off the waves of crappy AI (or otherwise low-quality) games in the future that are beginning to inflate the catalog, and not an economic one that makes this sound like some uneven distribution of wealth (which it really is not).

Don’t care about the rest, but this one stings a little. Thankfully, the originals are still fun to play.
