Stepping into “GIMP sucks” territory with my next Tedium issue. Kinda scared.

robertoqs,

@ernie

I'm a user, by the way (continuation of ). So far, it's the only I've used extensively. Perhaps some day I'll try .



robertoqs,

@ernie

Would you be able to say more about why it was dramatic? I know it was, but I'm not sure why. Resource consumption? Excessive GUI changes? Becoming too similar to KDE Plasma? Using non-libre components?

I have an impression it might be all of those, but I don't know. I started using #GNULinux (specifically #ArchLinux) very recently by comparison to the history of #GNOME.

robertoqs,

@ernie

I see. Thank you.

@haikushack

Greetings. I noticed you're on Bluesky. I'm following the poetry and haiku feeds you created.

robertoqs, to bluesky

It is so important for me to be able to #EditPosts, that that alone is a big disadvantage in using #Bluesky by comparison to #Mastodon. The developers could add that option at some point, and I very much hope so.

At the moment, that difference is even more inconvenient than having a smaller #CharacterLimit, problematic as though that is for me, also. In any case, that can vary according to #Instance.

Why wait for Microsoft to catch up with what we've been doing for decades?

Get Plasma, a modern, fully functional, clean, privacy-respecting, non-intrusive operating system now, regardless from where you live and ditch Windows for good.

Even though I don't prefer KDE Plasma as my desktop environment, I support this due to being and considering what it opposes.

If you've been blocking AI from scraping your website, there's another one to add. This time it's Google.

I've updated my post on the subject.

#ThisShouldBeOptIn

robertoqs,

@clarkesworld

Thank you for this. I'm not entirely sure if it's necessary for me if I use GitHub Pages, but I added the file nonetheless.

robertoqs,

@eklem @clarkesworld

I think it has to be in the root directory.

robertoqs,

@eklem @clarkesworld @hugovk

Well, if you were already using GitHub Pages, you already had a repository named [username].github.io, if I'm not mistaken. The point about robots.txt is to add it to the root directory, otherwise known as the main branch in GitHub.

robertoqs,

@hugovk @eklem @clarkesworld

Ah, I see. Then [username].github.io is only required when not using a custom domain, like in my website's case. That's what I was thinking about.

So what I did was simply to put robots.txt next to my HTML files. Also, thanks for the documentation. I love Stack Overflow, by the way.

I've noticed you often count diphthongs as two syllables in your haikus, which adds musicality to them.

    Time for the for 08/22/23!

    Write a 480-ish character story about this AI generated image.

    robertoqs,

    A short while later, we decided to leave aside unnecessary formalities.
    —Yes, I've met your associates—produced the interpreter.
    —Indeed. Listen, we know you by reputation. We've... encountered... your work before, and we're here to do business.
    —What are you looking for?
    —We want to purchase a few orbit-safe containers of the best variety of lysergide you currently have.
    —Ah, you have encountered my work before.
