I have a script that watches apache or caddy logs for poison link hits and a set of bot user agents, adding IPs to an ipset blacklist, blocking with iptables. I should polish it up for others to try. My list of unique IPs is well over 10k in just a few days.

git repos seem to be real bait for these damn AI scrapers.

If planning on being a serial killer, run a barber shop or something where literally thousands of people leave their DNA on-site, and your DNA is on literally thousands of other people.

At some point we'll just have to tunnel IP over DNS, and then they can't block traffic without destroying the entire internet. Not that it'll dissuade them.

I know, I know it would not be simple or necessarily beneficial in the short-term or maybe even the long-term. However, I'm tired of corporations being given all the rights of people, but never being treated like people in the legal system.

A person skips a mandatory court appearance, or fails to comply with a court order? Contempt charges, and jail until they comply. We need to do the equivalent to corporations.

Corporate equivalent? I dunno -- freeze their assets immediately and embargo all sales activity until they comply.

No problem, boot them out of the country and nationalize their factories. About time Canada took charge of car production and reduced its reliance on the USA and crappy multi-national car makers.

Hall and Oates, "Out of Touch".

This just shows that Valve/Steam is way too powerful in games distribution. Another example of over-centralization in our modern world. My initial thought of course was "just move to itch.io or something", but they claim no one will give them investment funds to develop games unless they can be on Steam, which is just insane.

Yeah, hard pass. Don't let an OS which has a walled-garden by default for apps get a toe in the door. Android is based in Linux, use that instead.

Present! Installed it just last week, works great.

Yup I use it, when I must use Windows. So much better than the default, I sometimes forget I am using Win11.

Did they leave the switch in the wrong position?

Ah. That's nasty, what a pain.

Forgive me but what is intune? I did a quick search and just found some Microsoft endpoint protection thingie -- there is mention of a Managed Google Play but I have no idea what that would mean.

Time to step it up to Vuvuzelas :p

I haven't yet tried -- planning to do that in the next day or so when I get the time.

Others already replied with promising results, I sure hope they work for me as well (Scotiabank in Canada is particularly annoying in this respect in my experience, with LineageOS I had to use Magisk and define stealth rules specifically for their banking app).

Edit: As for camera, I've only tried the GrapheneOS builtin/default camera app. It's pretty basic, but I should see if I can get the Pixel9 official camera app on there, it would be nicer to use if possible but the basic one is probably good enough for my purposes.

I'm just a layperson, but doesn't the head and main part look sort of like some species? And those oblong compound eyes..

Of course I know it isn't one, but fun to think about.

Really? Didn't seem to to me; I just installed latest GrapheneOS on my pixel 9 this weekend, and Vanadium definitely let Google Adsense crap all over many sites I visited.

Is there a way to enable effective ad blocking that I missed?

I just installed GrapheneOS on my pixel 9 this weekend, and was surprised the default Vanadium browser doesn't have Google AdSense ripped out or an ad-blocker as default.

(To verify, try visiting slashdot.org with Vanadium, vs. Iron Fox with uBlock Origin).

As a result, I set IronFox to my default browser and am loving it. Why does GrapheneOS not have an ad-blocking solution in the default build? Seems like a big feature they could brag about.

This is why drug research should be nationalized; society should pay for and benefit from the research taxes pay for. Right now, we pay for research and only get the 'profitable' outputs.
