It's not a big deal since git repos aren't hard to migrate. GitHub is fine currently and if they push people away then there are a couple of alternatives.
Firefox hosting on Github is a good move because it lowers the barrier of entry for contributors.
Do you mean it works reliably well in letting users through, or in blocking AI?
Both, check out this article talking about it: The Day Anubis Saved Our Websites From a DDoS Attack
Looking at the statistics really shows how dire things have gotten with AI crawlers. The before and after is crazy. There are some other blog posts also mentioning they get maybe 1000x less requests per hour after deploying Anubis.
If it weren't tiktok it'd be any other mainstream social media that people spread dumb trends on. Anybody remember teenagers eating laundry soap pods a couple years ago?
Been seeing this more and more lately. It's a shame we need such a nuclear solution, but it works reliably well. It takes a second or two to be redirected to the site you're visiting.
That should work fine, but make sure to get rid of the first few lines in the text file since they're headers for ublacklist.
That's partially why I made a blocklist of SEO/AI spam websites. EaseUS and partition manager were some of the first websites I blocked!
That's... Kind of insane! I've been following Bitcraft every now since it got announced but I never expected them to go to this direction. The blog post makes sense but I'm curious what license they're going to use. It could be a legal minefield to try and stop people from stealing the game, re-branding it, then profiting off of it.
It'll be really curious to see how this plays out because there isn't really any major games that went open source, much less one that's going to be actively monetized like Bitcraft.
Our focus will be on a smooth and successful Early Access launch on Steam, which is our highest priority. Only once we are happy with the state of the game will we start the process of open sourcing BitCraft.
Anyway, it sounds like open-sourcing the game might take a while. I hope early access works out for them.
Isn't Pangora dead? It hasn't been updated in a year.
Don't submit AI generated content to this community. Next time will be a ban.
Yup. I asked around in chat and we're 99% sure it's a joke. They don't actually have a team big enough to transition to a whole new engine.
MIT is the de-facto license that says "Do what you want with the software, just give me credit. Also, I don't owe you anything".
It lets people do basically anything with it but protects you from:
People who would steal your project and claim they were the original creators (your name and copyright info is filled in the license which they have to include and mention)
Any sort of liability or warranty - people can't blame you for any damage done by your software
