Absolutely true! Fresh is not a regulated term at all. Organic is, and I believe Natural is (but less than organic). Fresh doesn't have to mean anything

We had a huge push here about waterproof vs waterresistant. "waterproof" means you can drop it into like, 12 ft of water for some crazy amount of time and it'll be fine. Water Resistant is a much more flexible term like "If you use it outdoors and a drop of water gets on it you should be fine. Of course, no average consumer knows the difference and so they assume water resistant means water proof.
No idea who downvoted you, some dude who refuses to believe that? I didn't believe that until I met someone in the food industry and they were like "Oh yeah, that's just to make you believe it's real stuff". Turns out, McDonald's Patties with 100% Real Beef relies heavily on that with, who would have guessed. The rest is ~~sawdust~~ filler material, but hey at least some portion of it is 100% real beef.
Spraying it into my eyeballs in tears YOU BASTARDS
Same thing with "Cheese"
Cheesey, Chee-z, The Chees-iest, any variant of that and it's not real cheese. Cheese is a regulated term. It's not just qWiRkY marketing, it's designed to distract you from the very fake product you're consuming.

Guaranteed some politician is worried about his wife seeing he was watching some nasty porn on the family tv
I picked up a few today from smaller online stores before they realized. Will have to keep the servers running somehow
Yeah in fact, unless you're a really confident person I recommend against it. Friend groups, hobbies meetups, join groups, make friends, and meet new people through those avenues
That's true, even my friends I would consider doing well aren't spending multiple thousands of dollars on a phone right now. Economy isn't in a state where sane people feel like giving away that much
People love giving away their hard earned money
Sorry for the alarming title but, Admins for real, go set up Anubis.
For context, Anubis is essentially a gatekeeper/rate limiter for small services. From them:
(Anubis) is designed to help protect the small internet from the endless storm of requests that flood in from AI companies. Anubis is as lightweight as possible to ensure that everyone can afford to protect the communities closest to them.
It puts forward a challenge that must be solved in order to gain access, and judges how trustworthy a connection is. For the vast majority of real users they will never notice, or will notice a small delay accessing your site the first time. Even smaller scrapers may get by relatively easily.
For big scrapers though, AI and trainers, they get hit with computational problems that waste their compute before being let in. (Trust me, I worked for a company that did "scrape the internet", and compute is expensive and a constant worry for them, so win win for us!)
Anubis ended up taking maybe 10 minutes to set up. For Lemmy hosters you literally just point your UI proxy at Anubis and point Anubis to Lemmy UI. Very easy and slots right in, minimal setup.
These graphs are since I turned it on less than an hour ago. I have a small instance, only a few people, and immediately my CPU usage has gone down and my requests per minute have gone down. I have already had thousands of requests challenged, I had no idea I was being scraped this much! You can see they're backing off in the charts.
(FYI, this only stops the web requests, so it does nothing to the API or federation. Those are proxied elsewhere, so it really does only target web scrapers).

Will it show when Google themselves though are using it?
