  3. RESOLVED : dropbox on Debian 13

    If you are on Debian 13 and want to use dropbox as a daemon/desktop application, I have found it impossible to use their new software (.debs created for Debian). I also think it is mining your browser data for AI analytics.

    Go with the nautilus-dropbox package in the stable branch.

    And start looking for an alternative. They are coming after your OS and browser. Shameful.

  4. -- Halloween creepy crawly fun fact --

    Did you know that almost 97% of traffic to opensource projects is from AI scrapers and crawlers ? ^1

    So much so that many opensource websites use "proof of work" challenges and waste precious bandwidth to protect themselves ? ^2

    It's as unscrupulous as it gets. The evil witch is winning.

    Why was it easier to get #concerttickets online previously?
    "Tickets for popular acts were snapped up w'in minutes #online sales opened. Such situations can happen only w the use of bots by #unscrupulous (profiteers) .. (as) tickets via e official channel are being snapped up, u will see many sellers listing #tickets for e same concerts on platforms like Carousell etc at #inflatedprices.. most #concert organisers are using #Ticketmaster online" #Singapore

  9. #Unscrupulous #Republicans, like #MarcoRubio, cannot argue based on the #facts because the facts simply do not comport with the #narrative they're trying to promote. Instead, they pretend the facts don't exist, and just go ahead with their narrative. #Rubio used to be a somewhat respected #Senator, but he's now a pathetic shell of his former self. Sad.

  11. When #money , #power , or #political #advantage are at stake, a small number of #unscrupulous (sometimes called “#sociopathic ”) individuals will say or do anything and everything they can to #GameTheSystem for themselves to keep everybody else out.

    There’s always somebody willing to #sellTheirSoul for the right price, and somebody else who can afford to pay that price.
