Okay,

So why should reinevent a standard when one that serves functionally the same purpose with one of implied consent?

Edit: my problem isn't robots.txt. It's implied consent.

If you are ever thinking, I wonder if I should ask, the answer is always yes. Doesn't matter the situation. If you are not 1000% sure you have consent, you don't. That's just my ethics.

If you want to propose a new standard, go nuts. But implied consent is not it.

From your own wiki link

robots.txt is the filename used for implementing the Robots Exclusion Protocol, a standard used by websites to indicate to visiting web crawlers and other web robots which portions of the website they are allowed to visit.

How is fedidb not an "other web robot"?

Robots.txt started I'm 1994.

It's been a consensus for decades.

Why throw it out and replace it with imied consent to scrape?

That's why I said legally there's nothing they can do. If people want to scrape it they can and will.

This is strictly about consent. Just because you can doesn't mean you should yes?

I guess I haven't read a convincing argument yet why robots.txt should be ignored.

Why invent implied consent when complicit explicit has been the standard in robots.txt for ages now?

Legally speaking there's nothing they can do. But this is about consent, not legality. So why use implied?

It wasn't scolding them (individual reporters) for doing their job.

It's scloding them (news orgs as a whole) for not doing it.

It's not hard to see a trump presidency sells more media with those rage bait headlines. They endorsed trump and refused to endorse Haris. I blame them for that.

No one is saying it shouldn't be documented. You just threw those words into someone's mouth.

What is laughable is to think news outlets are going to be the historical record. What is effectively propaganda at this point is documentation. They all know how to distract you with chaos headlines in the media for them to focus on while they do the actual messy work of taking people away.

Curious, how many bathroom bill reports have their been in the media?

The historical record will be remembered by what we were able to capture and publicise. Record every government interaction and put it on YouTube, tik Tok, your hard drive, somewhere. THATS what will fill the historical record.

The headlines being reported are not what needs to be documented most.

The headlines are all distractions from what they're actually trying to do.

Yeah sure some headlines are there. But if documentation is your concern, get your phone out every police officer you see and upload it somewhere public.

Canadian here, most of Europe. We're looking like we're expecting Trump lite this year. Not to mention Harper was, a lot.

What does server less communities even mean?

The cloud is just someone else's computer. So to have server less would mean inaccessible?

From their FAQ

Where does the name come from?

Forgejo (pronounced /forˈd͡ʒe.jo/ (hear an audio sample)) is inspired by forĝejo, the Esperanto word for forge.

And if my grandma had wheels she'd be a bicycle.

If it's disadvantageous to the money in control of it, it won't happen.
