The Android app has a decent read-aloud feature. Hope it will still works after the service closes. I don't use it for article discovery, nor for sync.

What are they doing with all that oil? Is it used to oil fighters for Greco-Roman wrestling?

It looks like a Marker obelisk from Dead Space.

Yes, it's just talk and I doubt Netanyaou would take it seriously.

Don't (just) threaten sanctions. Do raise sanctions. Israel is already blocking humanitarian aid.

Si on continue à permettre la production en masse, même avec responsabilité juridique, ça va être produit en masse et se retrouver dans des mauvaises mains.

Une fois dans les mains de narcos, groupes terroristes, tueurs à gages, ça deviendra une arme pour cibler les civils. Ces groupes ce moquent des risques juridiques.

I missed Eurovision's finale this year, because I watched the 803th Interstellar Song Contest

I'm carefully spending my money by buying less games, mostly DRM-free indie games.

She was immediately placed under expedited removal—a process to quickly remove her without the right to have her case brought before a judge

Mateo’s attorney, Luis Campos, told reporters that when he attempted to visit her at TMC, ICE agents blocked the entrance to her hospital room

Isn't she being denied the right to a fair trial, which is proclaimed by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the United States Constitution? And the right to counsel?

I hope the USA see consequences for ignoring basic human rights and the rule of law. Including effects on tourism and foreign investments; fewer people would come to a country or invest in a country that blatantly ignore the rule of law and human rights.

Bruce Springsteen is welcome in Europe, to visit and enjoy freedom of speech here.

Generating plausible-looking gibberish require resources. Giving any kind of response to these bots is a waste of resources, even if it's giberish.

My current approach is to have a robots.txt for bots than honor it. And drop all traffic during 24h for IPs used by bots that ignore robots.txt or misbehave.

In my experience with bots, a portion of them obey robots.txt, but it's tricky to find the user agent string that some bots react to.

So I recommend having a robots.txt that not only target specific bots, but also tell all bots to avoid specific paths/queries.

Example for dokuwiki

User-agent: *
Noindex: /lib/
Disallow: /_export/
Disallow: /user/
Disallow: /*?do=
Disallow: /*&do=
Disallow: /*?rev=
Disallow: /*&rev=

This dark pattern seems similar to what spammy companies do. After registering you're automatically registering to 10 differents newsletters/spamlist. Clicking unsubsribe at the bottom of a newsletter removes you from 1 out of 10 lists. People either need to repeat the operation, or better, delete their account.
