Yes, it is. No, the delays on Youtube don’t come from the performance of the adblocking code, so you won’t notice many differences. But more efficient adblocking is good for everyone - noticeably more so on devices with batteries, but still helpful for everyone.

Last time I went, the doctor just told me “sick prostate bro” and then booped it

Is this a gas leak year meme? ew

Amazing photo! Sweetie looks so suave and stylish with their chest fur collar

My cheeks clap when I walk so yes, I expect princess treatment

More accurate:

Metal guys: “Hey cool shirt”

All your underwear is crotchless? u nasty

Because it would look much more weird to walk around naked, except for your butt?!

Isn’t that just Valhalla?

Maybe the issue is that you’re too horizontal? Try doing a handstand first.

Squirt of lemon

Just like this house isn’t a lie!

Well yes, but have you also considered that line must go up?

Firstly, the GNOME Foundation’s financial woes long predate the rise in AI scrapers.

Sure. Does the Gitlab -> GitHub redirect also long predate the rise in AI scrapers?

I know of no such increase.

If you haven’t been staying up to date, maybe do that before dismissing explanations? The increase in scraping is such a massive issue that it’s been discussed to death again and again, and big parts of the open internet has changed.

You’re basically calling bullshit on a charity having increased fuel prices, because you’re not aware of any Iran conflict!

Ah, and why isn’t it reasonable to assume that the increase in hosting costs which is hitting everyone for the last few months, is also hitting GNOME? Why do you think they are exempt, when even big commercial platforms are struggling with the amount of traffic generated by AI scrapers?

Given that hosting costs have objectively increased across the board due to AI scraping, and the GNOME project just introduced these changes, it is obviously sensible to assume that GNOMEs hosting costs have increased too.

It’s not stupid insofar that it is an additional fingerprintable data point. But it’s obviously still much harder to fingerprint you if many users share the same value that you have, so it is invalid.

You’re approaching this with an everyday definition of “proposal”, but in the industry that term is overloaded with more specific meanings.

If you asked 100 random devs, I have no doubt that the majority would call a PR to be something much more concrete than a proposal.

I feel like most people would also bite far more if they didn’t have opposable thumbs and were walking on all four extremities.

We often forget: for most animals, their mouth fulfills the same function as our hand.

Not righteous at all, bro :(
