The government is not one person. Are there members of congress, state and local government with whom you align? Do you think they will be more able to have a positive impact under Trump or under Biden? I’m all for criticizing Biden and the Democratic party. I recognize the cynicism of the “lesser evils” cycle we are stuck with when it comes to presidential candidates. I recognize the unfairness of the “if you don’t eat the Dems bullshit and vote blue you will be complicit in creating a fascist state where women don’t have bodily autonomy.” It feels like we are being forced into accepting the Democratic party based on a threat. I won’t be threatened. But I will also not make things worse for people out of personal frustration and discomfort. So Biden is another neo-centrist. We know this. And I’ll vote for him again because the politics I actually support will have a better chance of doing some good than if I don’t vote for him. You can say I’m giving in to the Dems threats but I don’t give a shit. Our country has failed to deliver good candidates but I’m not gonna take my ball and go home.
What are the ways that US domains can block AI? I figure pay walls, and captchas, but is there something we can add to robots.txt that has any teeth against AI scraping? I mean would we even know if they obeyed it anyway? How do we set traps and keep this shit out?
