    Anna’s Archive said Spotify scrape didn’t cause domain suspension; it was wrong

    This is bank robbers stealing from jewel thieves. Its turd-on-turd violence no matter how you look at it. That being said, I'll always root against the Scrapers.

    Strava puts popular “Year in Sport” recap behind an $80 paywall

    But it WAS free. Now its not. The only expectations were created by the company itself. "Was free, now you pay" is the quintessential enshittification move.

    Unfortunately not, the border needs to be open to act as a pressure release valve for California's critical demographic of "folks who like to complain about their old home state while simultaneously complaining about their new home state". The rest of the USA: trust me, we Texans are doing the...
