Personally, I’m of the view that the internet is like a bulletin board: If you post your content publicly then it can be read publicly. Paywalls and required log-ins are perfectly OK.

I think what Cloudflare is advocating for is preservation of a “public+Ads” bundle where ads are viewed by a human. So they want to disentangle a computer reading something (the core premise of the internet) from a human putting eyes on it.

I wouldn’t mind see a world in which more content is private and the creator can decide how to monetize. It feels like Cloudflare stepping in to say public != public is an overreach.

That CRT effect is dope. It's amazing it's even possible.

fun fact: this whole journey started because of that effect. I had that and was trying to think how I could use it haha

I remember learning it in college. How easy it was to pull and parse a webpage and allow me to store and study the world’s information. I was hooked.

Haha. Yeah I feel they’re exact opposites. Emacs is so DIY/wanting to control your experience and create the perfect tool for you.

I've been using gemini for writing my init.el So many ideas so little time, I'm glad I have the chance

Yes. Emacs with AI coding will be a dream come true to me.

I’m a rando. This was on a street in New York. There’s a chance he was just spraying and praying he’d find someone who hadn’t updated iOS, but I guess I can’t know for sure. Would you know if it’s possible to check how any info has left my phone? My email, text, and iCloud look OK, and I’ve changed my passwords, but I’m not sure if it’s possible to wipe records here or communicate otherwise.

Thanks. I rebooted it. For previous exploits, do you think that would be enough?

All the iOS malware I am aware of is persistent

Yeesh. Thanks. I guess that makes swapping for a used phone not an option.

Yeah, that's about what I was thinking, that a zero-day would do it. Thank you. Fingers crossed.
