Can we ban .jpg posting articles without linking to them? This shit is just naked agitprop otherwise.
The knob has been turned up to 11 lately. Fucking weird.
To be fair, I have been cantankerous about this issue for a long while now.
Used to be we archived everything almost without exception.
I think a lot of the lack of archiving is due to the war between Archive.today and Brave. You have to use TOR to get it to come up, and even then it sometimes goes infinity captcha.
Since archive.org takes down archives upon request it is not fit for purpose.
Since neither are actually usable, what do you do?
Print that shit out on paper, we're going back in time
Yeah it's been pretty shitty for months now, I'll grant you that.
I know Ghost Archive is a thing but I've no read on how durable it is long term. Still, a .jpg alone is never going to be sufficient for me. It's too easy to spoof something that seems legit in order to gin up animosity in a direction that's advantageous to bad actors. There needs to be some awareness that there are those who would gleefully psyop the fuck out of everyone on this board for their own machinations and we can prevent that with just a modicum of verification effort. This is going to become increasingly important as generative AI tech improves and we enter an era where we will have "genuine" polaroid photos of Hitler riding a dinosaur into battle against Winston Churchill, except it'll be something far more subtle and and believable.
Wtf are you talking about? I use brave on 3 devices and have no issues with archive.today
Let's also ban YouTube video posting without an AI generated summary of the video at the least.
I say the opposite -- anything with an AI summary should get auto deleted
You're going to watch a two hour YouTube video some guy posts and leaves 0 comment as to why he posted it?
You misunderstand -- AI summaries are faggot shit. Why can't the poster summarize in his own terms?
I think we can do better than an AI summary. If someone's gonna dump a link to a two hour video then they can damn well take the two minutes to type up why the hell we should care about it.
I'm kind of ambivalent to the AI summary, but I think forcing the friction of demanding the poster put in some perfunctory level of effort does a lot to discourage lazy and worthless postings. There are lots of people who just want their little dopamine hit of thread response notifications rather than to actually engage in discourse or the dissemination of valuable information.
Moronic. I'm not watching every two hour video posted here
And require the original link, not just some faggot link to an archive gated by captchas. Provide both, only a faggot archives without the original link as well.
Archive is important, but both is ideal.
Agreed. Both are required.
Sorry, I just thought this is what people share here.
