Just yesterday I banned Facebook’s user agent that is supposedly only used to generate link previews. It was being extremely aggressive, making 20 requests per second. At the time I thought “I bet they’re actually building their own search index”, and here we are.

I haven’t read wired in a few years, and it looks like I haven’t missed anything.

It’s not fine. They are not archiving the internet.

I had to ban their user agent after very aggressive scraping that would have taken down our servers. Fuck this shitty behaviour.

The charges this guy is facing are insane.

Commodore’s management were way too incompetent for the Amiga to survive, unfortunately.
