You know what, for the time being at least, lemmy sucks real bad, I have a community which I was posting almost everyday, it reached 170 followers and after five days without posting anything, because nobody else cares to do it! now the page has 116 followers and I guess the number will decrease more, which means lemmy is full of bots and toxic dumb users who want to do nothing other than sit on their ass and wait for one mod to provide them with content.

For the very few that try to be different I m really sry!

Now that we know AI bots will ignore robots.txt and churn residential IP addresses to scrape websites, does anyone know of a method to block them that doesn't entail handing over your website to Cloudflare?

Summary

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum mocked Donald Trump’s proposal to rename the Gulf of Mexico the "Gulf of America" by suggesting the U.S. be renamed "Mexican America."

"It sounds nice, doesn’t it?" she said, pointing to a 17th-century map showing California, Texas, and Arizona once belonging to Mexico before the Mexican-American War (1846–1848). She also noted the Gulf of Mexico has had its name since 1607.

Sheinbaum warned new U.S. tariffs would prompt reciprocal measures.

While advocating for cooperation, she emphasized Mexico’s sovereignty and its historical ties with the U.S.

Summary

Brazil criticized Meta's decision to end factchecking in the U.S., with Communication Minister Sidonio Palmeira calling it harmful to democracy due to unchecked misinformation.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg plans to replace factchecking with "community notes," sparking global concerns about misinformation.

Brazil's public prosecutor has demanded clarification within 30 days on whether these changes will extend to Brazil.

President Lula emphasized the dangers of disinformation and vowed to combat hate speech, recalling Brazil's strong stance on regulating social media, including past actions against Twitter/X for noncompliance.

So, I used to have my own VPS and utilize saltbox to roll my own seedbox, but I just can't afford that anymore (could have been my specs, but I was paying like 30-35/mo).

I have used whatbox way back in the day, before my VPS, and it was good.

I'm looking for an adequate seedbox. I'm mostly a Usenet person. I'm very familiar with Linux from terminal.

What do you guys use, other than a VPS and a local NAS. Thanks!

In one case, the same spot in the Gulf of Mexico was labelled "Reclaimed People's Climate Mao Museum".

Did I miss something?

Summary

Hawaii Governor Josh Green warned senators against confirming Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as health secretary, citing Kennedy's anti-vaccine misinformation campaign in Samoa in 2019.

Kennedy discouraged vaccinations, leading to a drop in inoculation rates and a severe measles outbreak.

The outbreak caused over 80 deaths, mostly children.

Green, a physician, called Kennedy's actions deadly and urged bipartisan opposition to his nomination.

Rep. Kim Schrier also criticized Kennedy, stating vaccine hesitancy fueled by misinformation leads to preventable deaths.
