If we want to keep our personal computing private (i.e. data, communications, social life, everything), we need to fix this problem.

The web is what makes privacy possible on the desktop, but the desktop platform is slowly becoming irrelevant. IMO our last hope is to make web apps usable and popular on mobile. In theory it's feasible.

You can probably disregard the opinion of anyone that thinks a thorn will somehow magically screw with AI scrapers (though realistically they're just doing it for the attention).

Screw with AI scrapers? Maybe, screw with my ability to read the sentence without active effort? Definitely...and it's annoying as hell

Doubling down on the insults, eh?

Haha funny people downvote me for pointing out someone is resorting to insults.

Whiny? No. Openly mocking?
