This is 100% to make it harder for non-paying AI scrapers. Their business is mostly selling data to LLM companies now. This won't stop non-paying scrapers but now they will have to make accounts and it will be easier to spot and stop.

They are still shooting themselves in the foot by almost completely killing search engine traffic but this is their reasoning behind it. Once again a company killing their future for the quick buck.

    Trial by jury is one of the few functioning parts of our democracy... This is a really strange comment... As someone who is extremely critical of the United States right now my time as a juror from start to finish was one of the bright points in an otherwise disappointing time in being an American. I am not sure what your point is with this comment...

    I started this movie and was intrigued by the potential for a movie that explored the class struggle. Nobody in the movie could be considered a "good guy". The closest was the low intelligence cousin that just got wrapped up it things. The major thing I left the movie with was just anger at how it ended. It built all this class struggle stuff up just to end it like "lol aliens". It's like the ruling rich made this movie just to laugh at the people who would go see it. Maybe I am just jaded with the fucked up reality of capitalism but this movie left a serious bad taste in my mouth.

     

    I need a distro that is stable with a particular need to set up zero input automatic updates. If an update asks for a password or needs user interaction in basically any way it simply won't get done. All he needs is a reliable platform for browsing the web. I am replacing an Ubuntu system that has apparently just stopped working (I have not had a chance to examine it yet) after years and years of not getting proper updates after he forgot his password.

    Something like Bazzite is intriguing because of it's locked down environment although he is very much not a gamer. Is there something locked down like Bazzite but with long term LTS release cycle?
