Hey, you guys got any cool tips for website scraping?


Hey, you guys got any cool tips for website scraping?


This isn’t very clever. Kids (or at least teens) will find a way around this. If you want proof, look no further than the UK, where everyone and their mother started using VPNs after the new “child safety” regulations started taking effect. It’s also very unlikely that the rules will be well-written. I don’t know anything about the Malaysian government, but I doubt that they are very tech-literate.


Listening to this is as useful as listening a random person yap about the conspiracy theories they believe in. There is no new useful information to be gained. Only there’s a difference. When it’s a random person, at the worst case, they talk about them to try to convince you of said theories, for their own pleasure of convincing themselves that they are right. When it’s a billionaire like this one, at the worst case, they try to persuade everyone and their mother that what they are saying is, not just reasonable, but the absolute truth, and their PR team probably came up with it as a way to make people as likely as possible to hold billionaires accountable for the horrible shit they do. Which means that, in that supposed worst case, which would, mind you, be the most effective way for the billionaire to keep doing business as usual without interruptions, what the billionaire is saying is just a diversion tactic.
TLDR: Please stop focusing so much on what the billionaire says. They probably don’t really believe in what they’re saying. Please focus instead in the billionaire’s actions, because that’s what they probably don’t want you to do.


I’ve never heard of it before, but the name SeaGL is really good (even if it would be more appropriate for a conference on OpenGL)
Then don’t complain once you get arrested…


That reminds me of this video


This is Cortana all over again. And I don’t remember people using Cortana at all…


I’d say that this article’s arguments on not letting a child alone with an AI chatbot are pretty compelling. I think parents should read the article, specifically parents that don’t know much about AI.


Once you select a video and click “Download”, after a few moments, a pop-up like the one in the picture below should appear. You just need to select “Audio” and then “OK”.

If you want, before you press “OK”, you can click the drop-down menu located in the pop-up to choose a different file format or a different bitrate (the higher the bitrate of a file is, the better it will sound).
Happy to help if you have any more questions :)


Official response of the Discourse moderators: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/on-discourse-rules-about-politics/66986
The mods say that the mistake was in the misinterpretation of “queer” as a slur (because it used to be a slur), but they also mention that they privately discussed with the new user to convince them to remove a trans flag from the profile… and the mods didn’t really explain in the response why this happened…?
As always, read the response to make your own judgement.
I recognize “Clean Code” in there. Isn’t that the programming best practices book that seriously recommends programmers to have a hard limit of three-four sentences per function, or something like that?
This is such a stupid joke, yet I like it


That only solves one problem, unfortunately. Other than that, the FIRE app seems to have the same problems as the ICEBlock app.


OP, this was three months ago
Now I need one of those videos where they explain the iceberg image


“You see, your kids died, but at least it was only your kids, and not anyone else. They probably would have died from the shooting anyways lmao”


What motivated the choice of Clippy as a symbol? Meme value?
The first link should look like ⚧️.fm. The second ome should look like マリウス.com.
Thanks for your reply. What are your arguments in favour of parsing HTML with regex instead of using another method?
