Use of published information is still always constrained by copyright law. If I had a copyrighted movie playing on my television visible through the window, and you recorded that, redistributing that recording would unambiguously be a violation of copyright law and piracy.

I’m also a little confused by what you’re saying here; are you asking whether scraper bots are illegal, or whether they’re immoral/unethical?

Yes. As a more common example, fiber optic cabling is known to transmit information significantly faster then copper.

Campsite team, if you happen to be reading this: consider whether a more permissive license still meeting the FOSS definition, like GPL or AGPL, would better fit your needs. GPL means that anyone who modifies the source code, or integrates it into a larger work, has to release the modified version.

So this would ensure that everyone’s contributions continue to help the wider community. As a side effect, it would also prevent anyone from using your work without releasing the source code for their project or product, benefitting open source as a whole.

The choice is obviously ultimately yours. I personally didn’t realize the benefits of GPL until recently.

No. You’ll want a photogrammetry or LIDAR app for that.

1. That’s kind of the point of free software, is it not? If you don’t want people “leeching” off of your software for free, don’t make it free. 2. Reddit is an amazing source of coding information and general Q&A on an extremely wide variety of topics. I would not characterize all of it as chitchat.

If that secretary’s summaries were as consistently wrong and unhelpful as those ChatGPT generates, they would be fired.

Strict tracking protection mode does not block third party JavaScript. Are you referring to another extension you have enabled?

Sure, basic analytics is not objectionable. The issue comes from the analytics not being limited to basic things, as this post shows.

How much did the server hardware cost?

Some IDEs actually have GitHub PR integration (JetBrains ones) with full comment support. It is amazing and one of my favorite features by far.
