Do you drive over a lot of cattle grids?

CD players are precision items and don't take kindly to high impulse. Conversely, many tape decks are seriously robust. My dad had an old Grundig tape deck that was built like a tank (or a 380Z). Pretty sure whoever has that now is still getting quality sounds out of it.

Not necessarily. You can spend your cryptocoins with any number of businesses and it is very much the choice of those businesses to accept them or not. No private individuals need be involved.

Note also that any non-crypto currency can also devalue at any moment, although perhaps not to the same extent. Holding anything of any perceived value carries a risk and also a potential reward.

Lucky you. Blog.js fails for me with a TypeError and I'm disinclined to debug someone else's javascript on a whim, so I don't get to see any of the content at all.

To the OP: JS is for enhancements. If you are using it in such a way that it becomes a potential blocker for all of the content then you are not going to reach the audience that you otherwise would. If you are on somebody else's platform/framework then by all means pass this up the chain.

This was not the article that I expected. The headline is correct in both cases but I assumed that it would be about fighting against the army of LLM scrapers, which is the source of my exhaustion in relation to them. Perhaps that is one for me to write instead.

With the rise of AI, all audio, images and video is now also suspect.

Of course it is. But there's no point trying to put policies into a directory in a tree which doesn't exist and by extension which Firefox won't be reading.

In Linux (and in any sane system) there is no need for elevated privileges just to alter your browser settings.

I have firefox installed on Linux. There is no /etc/firefox/policies/ dir, nor indeed even an /etc/firefox/ dir. Therefore, no need for sudo.
