When I chose the MIT license for all of my software, I thought:

“Should I use GPL, which I don’t really understand? Is that worth it? Yeah, there is a theoretical possibility that some company might use my code in their proprietary product … and then what? Should I sue them to enforce the GPL? I’m not going to do that anyway, so I’ll just use the MIT license.”

And now we have those LLM scrapers and now it’s suddenly a reality that these companies (ab)use my code. I can see it in my logs. I didn’t expect that back then.

GPL wouldn’t help, either, of course. (Regardless, I now think that GPL would have been the better choice anyway.)

I’m honestly considering taking my code and website offline. Maybe make it accessible through some obscure protocol like Gopher or Gemini, but no more HTTP.

(Yes, Anubis might help. Temporarily.)

I’m just tired.

Sooo many new spam feeds to mute in the twtxt.net discovery view. :-( The RSS/Atom to Twtxt feed bridge was a mistake, I believe. I guess I just have to abandon that altogether and rely on my subscriptions to interact with new feeds in order to discover legitimate new ones. Not sure if that works, sounds like a chicken-‘n’-egg problem.

Trump Amplifies Another Outlandish Conspiracy Theory: Biden Is a Robotic Clone
Zolan Kanno-Youngs,  White House Correspondent  -  The New York Times

Stephan: Fascist, aspiring dictator Trump is a psychopath who lies compulsively. Every person who can think rationally knows this. What many don’t seem to know, and that media is not properly covering, is how truly bizarre his lies have become. This is an example of what I mean.
