That sucks :( I think Firefox lets you turn them all off, I've managed to (I hope)

IronFox on F-droid! it's a fork of firefox mobile, similar to Librewolf and some of the devs of librewolf also work on ironfox!

You can also get Waterfox' mobile version on the google play store, the devs of waterfox are anti-AI as well

f-droid will have a decent browser without ai. or you can jailbreak the whole device and get vanadium or something

No such browser as "ironfox" can be found in the f-droid store. the fact you need to get waterfox from google play is a big security hole considering the new rules for android developers. and the few browsers from f-droid i tried had no firefox plugin compatibility and 2 even had no adblocker unless you paid for the pro version.

Good ol' technical debt eh? ive found it easier to just restart from scratch rather than trying to fix old & unmanageable decisions

since i linked to it, i decided it was time to update the formatting on that old ass blog post. incidentally, if anyone has a recommendation for an accessible distro that doesnt rely on systemd, let me know.

artix is pretty good. it's as easy to install as endeavouros and not much harder to use. i recommend using it with openrc because that seems to be the most documented/mature alternative init system, although runit is nice too.

Also, since userdb.json's an editable json file that most distros don't fill in anyway, i was wondering what the legal implications are in america in case that json file is just empty. probably the same as if it doesn't exist, right?

Debian does in fact have official support for one systemd alternative: sysvinit https://wiki.debian.org/Init

I admittedly don't know much about, but IIRC you use Debian, and Devuan is a fork of debian without Systemd.

Oops just realized you mentioned that Devuan is broken, I should have done more research before suggesting! I just moved to fedora but am already thinking of trying VoidLinux after their weird ai comments / the systemd debacle, It does suck theres not more options for intermediate users.

the number of times i used to go into someone's code because they asked me to add a youtube embed and THIS SHIT got poured right into my eyes. what the fuck am i supposed to do with that? and of course the one guy whose account could have mitigated all this diarrhoea code stopped maintaining the site months ago and is off working for firespring now

honestly i should have been charging more for wix users. or really any plugin-based site builder. or static site generators in general. their code is always a mess. to say nothing of chatgpt's early attempts at webdev automation. i once saw chatgpt turn off a P tag 12 times and define a right margin of 1.92298374656738229494em

I actually used WIX one time when I was trying to reformat a fashion blog (this was over ten years ago). Never using it again.

neocities has some glaring holes in its ToS in regards specifically to ai scraping and its moderators banning practises. we asked for clarity and kd responded by making a superficial aesthetic change. so, i'm just concerned that neocities is also polishing a turd.

yeah, i don't mind a little tinker with the look on here now and then, but i would prefer that improvements to the service that are more important than aesthetics, ones like you mention, be prioritized

Unrelated but about IronFox since im unsure if my reply would be seen in the previous thread: the IronFox devs have their own f-droid repo and thus aren't part of the standard repo, see https://ironfoxoss.org/download/#f-droid . Pretty easy to add it to f-droid though. As for why they aren't on the main F-droid repo, seems to be just because they can't be arsed to put time and effort into that
Otherwise there's no issue with not being on the main f-droid repo, since f-droid doesn't have the capacity to thoroughly verify all the apps on their main repo anyway
