[@drwho] (https://hackers.town/@drwho) Kind of makes me reluctant to even have an online presence anymore. Anything I publish, heck even all my masto shitposts are being ingested by these things. This is not OK. Could move everything behind i2p or whatever but i guess it'd just be a matter of time before they slurp that up too... We shouldn't just roll over and pretend it's OK just because shit like this is the norm now either. :(

[@drwho] (https://hackers.town/@drwho) It apparently even ignored the 'disallow: *' in my robots.txt

This. Sucks.

[@doop] (https://octodon.social/@doop) Interesting - I guess it DID make sense there as it was supposed to resemble a spinning disk.

When did a spinning circle become the default 'wait' icon used in all the things instead of an hourglass? It makes so much less sense.

[@makergeek] (https://hometech.social/@makergeek) [@requiem] (https://hackers.town/@requiem) I think that's asking the wrong question. One can always dream up use cases, but the question we should be asking is does the benefit we get out of those use cases weigh up against the potential (and real) harm.
For instance, I don't work on AI projects, not because I can't think of any use cases, but because it would be endorsing the current hype surrounding it. Companies who are currently using AI for profit rely on that hype in order to get more funding.
So the question is, ultimately, is what I'm doing, ultimately benefiting or harming society. And when it comes to using or developing AI projects, any time I make that balance, it heavily shifts towards harm.

[@cat] (https://b4udw3rk5.com/@cat) That ansi screen is fantastic, although the facebook like icon one makes me cringe every time haha - i hit up bbs'es to get away from all that bullshit, ya know? :)

[@cat] (https://b4udw3rk5.com/@cat) Hit up the bottomless abyss - I've been spending some time on the 'Hackers: Cybercity' door (and of course ambrosia)

[@maddiefuzz] (https://hackers.town/@maddiefuzz) [@dibi58] (https://this.mouse.rocks/@dibi58) Ohh, I see - I somehow read that in reverse - I don't really need anything, but it would be good to make sure it's archived on archive.org if it's not there already.

[@maddiefuzz] (https://hackers.town/@maddiefuzz) That's amazing. It looks glorious!

[@maddiefuzz] (https://hackers.town/@maddiefuzz) [@dibi58] (https://this.mouse.rocks/@dibi58) I have a whole bunch of sgi media, and a few sgi machines - what does [@dibi58] (https://this.mouse.rocks/@dibi58) need?
2023-04-16T01:11:19.011Z (jns)
[@maddiefuzz] (https://hackers.town/@maddiefuzz) Whoa, I can't believe that's 3d printed - it looks huge!

[@maddiefuzz] (https://hackers.town/@maddiefuzz) I have an sgi indigo, where can i get one of these?! haha

[@realhackhistory] (https://chaos.social/@realhackhistory) telnet to HTTP port ?!!! - TIL i'm a cybercriminal for debugging.

l wait... anon ftp is considered an attack? :P that's a feature!
(Also oblig. reminder that it's wild that 'cybercrime' falls under counterterrorism...)

Trying to compile modern things on solaris/sparc64 is a good reminder of the sad state of most projects making assumptions that you surely must be using one of x86/arm on mac/win/linux :P - once upton a time, you'd have a reasonable chance of things 'just' working with ./configure && make - mostly because of autotools built-in checks for the presence of various functions, and developers actually caring to check these things... (also, autotools would inform you of the checks you're missing after scanning your source for which functions you're using) - but these days... a lot of developers don't even know other platforms exist, haha - everyone's so eager to drop autotools or even cmake in favor of meson, but I can't even get the latest meson running on this thing - it's not even like this is retro-computing. One can still buy sparc machines.

For reasons unknown, I couldn't get the serial management interface to play nice with my USB serial adapter (i think it's broken), so I had to break out the big tools to talk to this sparc T4 kindly donated to me! - good old dos kermit to the rescue.
