Well there you have it. Although I still feel weird that it's somehow "the internet" that's supposed to solve a problem that's fully caused AI companies and their web crawlers. If a crawler keeps spamming and breaking a site I see it as nothing short of a DOS attack. Not to mention that robots.txt is completely voluntary and, as far as I know, mostly ignored by these companies. So then what makes you think that any them are acting in good faith? To me that is the core issue and why your position feels so outlandish. It's like having a bully at school that constantly takes your lunch and your solution being: "Just bring them a lunch as well, maybe they'll stop."

I'll not sure I see the parallel.

It really, really is. Like that scene from Office Space.

That's based on https://github.com/jonmagic/copy-excel-paste-markdown Would be awesome to see some Lemmy clients incorporate that. I've had it requested but haven't had a chance to really dig into it yet.

This is terrible news. I also have a keyboard-centric workflow and also make heavy use of keyword bookmarks. I too use custom bookmarklets containing JavaScript that I can invoke with a few key strokes for multiple uses including: 1: Auto-expanding all nested Reddit comments on posts with many comments on desktop. 2: Downloading videos from certain web sites. 3: Playing a play-by-forum online board game. 4: Helping expand and aid in downloading images from a certain host. 5: Sending X (Twitter) URLs in the browser bar to Nitter or TWStalker. And all these without touching the mouse! It's really disappointing to read that Firefox could be taking so much capability in the browser away.
