The amount of web crawlers right now which just blatantly ignore robots.txt is frustrating. It's pretty clear many of these are just scraping every single website they can to train generative text AI as well.

If nothing else, there's surely got to be some clear violation of a whole lot of CC licenses from this behaviour.

Hospital had a cancellation, so they're going to be able to fit in my appointment with the specialist later this week! Hopefully won't be too long now until I can get this surgery.

Sometimes, these student responses really state the bleeding obvious.

In response to a question regarding a road safety campaign, part of the student's answer stated that:
"Most people do not want to be run over."

So my plan with my current provider expires soon and I’m thinking of moving to . I like the idea of getting, as part of the plan, extras such as Proton mail - get some control and over my email accounts (away from Gmail). However, I am a little worried that if I create multiple email addresses I essentially lock myself into Proton’s paid plan… Losing email addresses would be an unnecessary nightmare to manage 🤔
Has anyone else switched to Proton to manage their VPN & emails?

@lwpembleton I use Proton Mail, but have intentionally kept my VPN separate, using Mullvad.

An easy way to avoid a lock-in with Proton would be to register a custom domain using some cheap provider, and set up emails on that domain on Proton. Then, if you ever need to move, you just set the custom domain up on your new provider.

Ireland was 6th in the jury vote, 6th in the public vote, and 6th overall. I think the witch has been well and truly crowned. .

Kind of ironic in the context of all the controversies around the contest this year that the winners would be the neutral country. Still, a well deserved win.

Cyprus and Greece didn’t trade 12 points. A historic moment.

Another song that feels like it’d be perfect if paired with a drifting JDM car.

It doesn’t feel like there’s been enough fire on stage this year. Maybe Georgia just used so much that there wasn’t enough budget for more pyro.

Seriously, that song was making me feel like I was running in the 90s, if you know what I mean.

Interesting idea, using the lace doilies as mufflers for the drum kit so they can appear to play without breaking the rules of those instruments just being props.

It’s like they’re all competing for who can wear the least.

Epic Sax Guy, he was not.

No rules, huh? Do you think he turns his computer off without waiting for the shutdown sequence to finish? Does he properly eject his USB drives?

Sweden must’ve got a really good deal at the landscaping supplies store for all these entrants to be able to get their own giant rock.

That throne looked like it belonged in Ireland’s performance.

Once again, I am reminded that under current Eurovision rules, all instruments on stage are props, and any dancing around while “playing” is thus a lot less impressive than it looks.

Another “traditional” string instrument? That’s a shot!

Even by Eurovision standards, this year’s entrants are super horny.

This song is making a good argument to add subtitles even for the songs being sung in English.

I maintain that this beat demands a JDM car drifting on stage.

Not sure telling people to “pitch a tent” is really appropriate with that song title…

Ugh, I can’t watch this entry from Lithuania. Literally. The flashing red lights are physically painful to my eyes.
