Been eating this free lunch for over a decade with no signs of it ending. Pretty good dupe!

Dr. Moose@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•AI experts return from China stunned: The U.S. grid is so weak, the race may already be overEnglish14·2 days agoI like how Americans propaganda themselves - china doesnt even have to anything as Americans will gladly put them on a pedestal to spite themselves.
Crazy how apparent this is on TikTok especially. People with LGTBQ flags are salivating about China while their flags are literally censored there
I literally host like 20 websites for free and here you’re telling me to cry over hosting prices lol
There are thousands of alternatives to github pages that will host your content for free. Taking your static website to a different host literally takes 5 minutes. At the scale of Github or Netlify your 1gb/mo bandwidth blog website is a rounding error and well worth the potential conversion price. The ignorance in this thread is astounding.
You can “disagree” all you want but reality is that information hosting made huge gains in the past 20 years to the point where the only cost to share a blog these days is the domain name. Even if you don’t want to feed the “free corporate machines” then you can easily host it for 5$/mo and if you can’t afford that I don’t know what to tell you.
Literally free. So many tech illiterate people in this threat that still think website hosting costs money.
Dr. Moose@lemmy.worldOPto Technology@lemmy.world•Starlink tries to block Virginia’s plan to bring fiber Internet to residentsEnglish2·3 days agoThis is absolute insanity. To think that fiber and satellites are even on the same playing field is absolute brain damage.
I fundamentally disagree with all of your claims. The web was already ruined by SEO farms and I know that cause I worked in organic growth for years, AI is not making this worse.
The traffic argument is non-sensical in 2025. serving 200kb html file costs literally nothing. So if you want to write and share something you can do it without spending a single penny, ever.
I understand the frustration and confusion here but all of this whining is lacking any real vision. Information should be free and accessible to all and the rest can be solved without changing this core principle.
So while you “protect” what you share we all will continue to grow and share information freely and actualy contribute real change not start breaking the looms.
You’re conflating two different issues. The topic is “for whom the web is for?” not banwidth distribution and optimization.
If LLM bot is being abusive then that’s no different from any other user agent behaving like this and we should expand these protections from intentional/unintentional ddos irrelevant of user agent.
overloading from 200kb of html? We’re not in dialup era anymore
As someone who’s been on the web since the 90s I hate this.
The web was designed to be user agent agnostic. Desktop, phone, fridge, ai agents, curl, python script - whatever agent you are using shouldn’t matter for access. That’s the whole point of open internet, period.

Either way, hope you super powers to get through it!

Thats simply not true. LLMs with RAG can easily catch up with new library changes.
