The image shows a transparent plastic package containing a detailed, intricately designed object. The object is square-shaped with rounded corners and features a complex, white, floral pattern that covers its surface. The design includes fine, delicate lines and shapes, resembling leaves and branches, creating a lace-like effect. The object is encased in a clear plastic bag with an orange tab at the top, suggesting it is new or for sale. The background is a dark, textured surface, possibly a table or mat, which contrasts with the light-colored object. The object appears to be made of a translucent material, possibly resin or acrylic, and is slightly reflective. The text "WORLD" is visible in red on the package, and there are some indistinct letters and numbers, including "P" and "b," on the package.

A shift away from AI rulemaking
IT'S MONDAY, AND THAT MEANS DIGITAL POLITICS. I'm Mark Scott, and hope to see some of you at the tech policy meet-up I'm co-hosting in Brussels on May 15. I also have my first meeting of Ofcom's Online Information Advisory Committee on May 16 — wish me luck!
— The drive to regulate artificial intelligence has given way to a desire to harness the emerging technology for economic benefit and national security.
— India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire in a quickly escalating regional conflict. That didn't stop waves of disinformation from spreading on social media.
— Platforms, citizens and governments should be responsible for creating a healthy digital environment, according to a global survey. But companies are more responsible than others for combating hateful online speech.

L’affare in chiaroscuro di “rastrellare” il web
Lo “scraping” dei dati è sempre più funzionale alle aziende: si sta sviluppando una miriade di società dedicate a questi servizi. Che si muovono sul labile confine con il diritto alla privacy e la tutela intellettuale
di Alessandro Longo per La Repubblica del 28 Aprile 2025
La polemica sui presunti numeri di Meloni e Mattarella in vendita online ha tolto il velo su un mercato sconosciuto ai più, dove il lecito e l’illecito si confondono: il business del “web scraping”. Letteralmente, è il “rastrellamento” del web fatto in automatico, con software, per ottenere masse di dati. Utilizzabili per vari motivi, dal telemarketing alle analisi finanziarie, o commerciali. Un mercato miliardario, abitato anche da aziende normali e persino giganti come Amazon e grandi banche. Vale 1,01 miliardi di dollari, nel mondo (nel 2024, secondo il report State of web scraping di Scrapeops, di gennaio scorso). E cresce al ritmo del 10-20 per cento all’anno. Questa è, certo, la parte illuminata – legale, in linea di massima – del web scraping. C’è anche una parte oscura, fatta da chi vende dati di terza mano, di dubbia origine, forse frutto di hacking, nella migliore delle ipotesi, rastrellati violando la privacy o la proprietà intellettuali degli interessati.
l’industria del web scraping affari in forte crescita
Le indagini del Garante
Sull’ultimo caso italiano non ci sono ancora certezze, bisognerà vedere l’esito delle indagini delle autorità, tra cui il Garante Privacy. Com’è noto, alcune società americane hanno messo in vendita presunti contatti di cariche dello Stato italiano e altri soggetti istituzionali. Si è appreso poi che alcuni erano numeri pubblici sul web, per esempio nei curriculum o nei social di alcuni funzionari pubblici. E quindi la vendita è un illecito privacy per le regole europee, ma non per quelle Usa. Altri sono invece numeri fasulli: quelli attribuiti alla premier Giorgia Meloni e del presidente Sergio Mattarella sembrano appartenere in realtà a loro ex portavoce, confermano vari esperti di intelligence (come Antonio Teti, autore di molti libri sul tema, e Alessio Pennasilico, del Clusit, l’associazione della cybersecurity italiana). In fondo, anche questo episodio conferma quanto questo business viva di chiaro-oscuri. Anche la sua stessa filiera “legale” è complessa e strisciante.
Immaginiamo un’azienda interessata a ottenere dati strategici dal web. Può essere un e-commerce che vuole fare analisi sui prezzi o una società finanziaria che vuole catturare sentiment di mercato. L’azienda si affida a una piattaforma specializzata come Zyte o Apify, che offrono soluzioni “chiavi in mano” per automatizzare la raccolta dei dati. Programmano software che simulano la navigazione umana: visitano i siti, individuano le informazioni rilevanti e le salvano in formati strutturati pronti per essere analizzati.
Le misure anti-scraping e i trucchi per aggirarli
Ma non basta. Ad esempio: lo scopo di un’azienda è raccogliere i dati sui prezzi dei voli per individuare il momento migliore quando comprare i biglietti, da rivendere al cliente finale. Il problema: i siti delle compagnie aeree applicano misure anti-scraping, con diversi strumenti tecnici. Per aggirarli, la piattaforma di scraping si appoggia a un altro attore fondamentale della filiera: il fornitore di proxy. Aziende come Bright Data, Oxylabs o Smartproxy mettono a disposizione una rete globale di indirizzi ip residenziali e mobili, che permettono al sistema di scraping di inviare richieste “mascherate” come se provenissero da utenti reali, distribuiti in vari paesi. In questo modo, si evita che i siti web blocchino il traffico o lo considerino sospetto. A questo punto, i dati raccolti possono essere semplicemente consegnati al cliente, oppure — in una fase successiva — arricchiti con ulteriori dati da altre fonti tramite soggetti aggregatori come Explorium o SafeGraph. Questi vendono dati raccolti da terzi, tramite api (interfacce verso i sistemi dei clienti) o dashboard (cruscotti) personalizzati.
Come si vede, lo scraping è ben altra cosa rispetto alla vendita di dati trafugati tramite attacchi informatici. Il chiaroscuro resta, soprattutto in Europa: «Non si può fare web scraping lecito all’insaputa e senza autorizzazione del titolare del sito da cui si estraggono i dati. Le regole privacy tutelano i dati personali e quelle sulla proprietà intellettuale tutelano anche molti dati non personali», spiega l’avvocato Eugenio Prosperetti. «La recente Direttiva Copyright prevede solo pochissimi casi in cui è lecito anche senza autorizzazione, ossia quelli per ricavare dati ad uso didattico e di ricerca, con divieto assoluto di uso commerciale dei risultati», aggiunge. Il problema: «Per combattere lo scraping sul piano legale bisogna dimostrare che un dato è stato estratto dal proprio sito», continua. Complicato poi perseguire società extra-europee; quasi impossibile bloccare la rivendita del dato nel dark web. Così, in questo chiaroscuro confortevole, il mercato va avanti. E persino prospera, per la crescente fame di dati raffinati che c’è ormai propria di ogni business.
What’s in a Washer?
Some things are so common you forget about them. How often do you think about an ordinary resistor, for example? Yet if you have a bad resistor, you’ll find it can be a big problem. Plus, how can you really understand electronics if you don’t know all the subtle details of a resistor? In the mechanical world, you could make the same arguments about the washer, and [New Mind] is ready to explain the history and the gory details of using washers in a recent video that you can see below.
The simple answer is that washers allow a bolt to fit in a hole otherwise too large, but that’s only a small part of the story. Technically, what you are really doing is distributing the load of a threaded fastener. However, washers can also act as spacers or springs. Some washers can lock, and some indicate various things like wear or preloading conditions.
Plain washers have a surprising number of secondary functions. Spring washers, including Belleville washers, help prevent fasteners from loosening over time. Wave washers look — well — wavy. They provide precise force against the bolt for preloading. Locking washers are also made to prevent fasteners from loosening, but use teeth or stops instead of springs.
There are plenty of standards, of course, that mostly match up. Mostly.
If you like knowing about odd washers, you might also want to know about the bolts that pass through them.

The nightrain from Bodø/Fauske to Trondheim (total journey was to be Tromsø -> Trondheim/Bergen) is definetely not going in June. So my options are either flying (brrrr) or taking a detour via Sweden (changing trains at Sundvall 4 a.m., brrr) or staying over night in Narvik (do that already on way North) or Mo i Rana.
Going by skip is too expensive and driving too tiring/expensive.
Any option I forgot?

What genocide?
Israel has formally requested the International Criminal Court (#ICC) to withdraw arrest warrants for #Netanyahu and ex Defence Minister #Gallant, citing the court's lack of jurisdiction and denying war crimes in Gaza. The request, submitted on May 9, 2025, also asks for a suspension of the ICC’s investigation into alleged atrocity crimes in the Palestinian Territories.
The warrants were initially issued on November 21, 2024, and an arrest warrant for Hamas leader Ibrahim al-Masri was withdrawn in February 2025. The ICC's appeals chamber had previously ordered a review of Israel's objections concerning jurisdiction in April 2025.

The last 2 paragraphs from that article are a glimpse into an heart of pure evil:
"Today, that customer support channel is hiring again: CEO Siemiatkowski said Klarna has two new agents acting as freelance customer support. It’s also piloting an “Uber type of setup” that lets the workers choose their own schedules and work from anywhere in Sweden, where Klarna is based, at pay starting at 400 Swedish krona ($41.17). Some of these agents, Siemiatkowski said, could even be customers.
“We also know there are tons of Klarna users that are very passionate about our company and would enjoy working for us,” he told Bloomberg."
Customer support is already hard on workers without further backend enshittification.

Simple Blogging Tips And Insights Every Blogger Needs To Know
Occasionally, I receive questions or comments about blogging and social media that inspire me to share key insights with my readers. Here are three recent examples of those topics. Hopefully, you’ll learn something from them.
How to get less spam!
In my recent post, “Astonishing! Some Bloggers Disable Comments on Their Blogs. Why?” many readers mentioned that they turn off comments due to the overwhelming number of spam comments that often come through. This is a valid concern! However, it’s worth noting that WordPress offers a setting that can help prevent you from seeing most spam comments. Activating this feature is simple.
- On your blog’s dashboard, go to Jetpack – Akismet Anti-spam.
- On the page that opens, look for the Settings box. Under Spam Filtering, ensure ‘Silently discard the worst and most pervasive spam so I never see it‘ is selected.
- Click the ‘Save changes‘ button.
You’ll now see much less spam in your blog’s spam folder. On average, I’m seeing no more than a few spam comments every week.
For more details, check out my post, ‘Turn This Setting On To Stop Seeing Too Much Spam On Your WordPress Blog.’
How do you find the people you want to follow?
Author Liz Gauffreau recently left a comment on my post, ‘The Ultimate Guide to Engaging on Bluesky: Tips, Features, and Strategies for Success,’ saying she was struggling to find other users on Bluesky who read or write literary fiction.
I asked Liz if she had checked out the Bluesky Starter Pack directory, where users can search for other users with similar interests. I included a link to the directory. This is how Liz replied.
If you’re a Bluesky user, I recommend checking out the information about Starter Packs. They are an excellent way to discover other bloggers, writers, authors, photographers, and more. Starter Packs are also great for getting noticed and connecting with other users. Click the following link.
What are Bluesky Starter Packs?
And click the following link to check the Bluesky Starter Pack directory I sent to Liz.
Bluesky Starter Pack Directory.
I recently passed a milestone on Bluesky: getting over 5,000 followers. Given that I’ve only been on Bluesky since November 2024 and it took me nearly 12 years to reach 9,000 followers on X, I can’t emphasise enough how every blogger and writer should consider using Bluesky.
If you haven’t already, give Bluesky a go.
How to stop the theme you’re using from crashing your blog.
Amanda, who blogs at ForestWood, recently published a post titled ‘It’s Time For A Change Of Theme.’ She was referring to a change of blog theme. I’d recently published a post about WordPress themes, so I was interested in what Amanda had to say. Needless to say, Amanda’s post inspired me (and many others) to leave a comment.
You’ll have to read Amanda’s post to find out what she and I had to say, but it contained an important lesson some readers may have forgotten or may not know about regarding WordPress themes. Do not attempt to change your WordPress blog’s theme unless you’re using a theme still supported by WordPress.
If, like Amanda, you are using a retired theme and click ‘activate’ on any of the current themes WordPress offers, you won’t be able to return to your retired theme!
If you are using a retired WordPress theme that isn’t causing you any issues, you can continue using it. However, be cautious, as there are drawbacks to using a retired theme, including those related to online security. For more information, check out my recent post, “WordPress Themes: Something Exciting Is Happening,” which provides further details.
Let’s wrap it up!
- Use WordPress’s Jetpack – Akismet Anti-spam feature to significantly reduce spam comments. By enabling the option to “silently discard the worst and most pervasive spam,” users can keep their spam folder manageable.
- Use the Bluesky Starter Pack Directory to connect with other users with similar interests. This resource helps you discover other bloggers, writers, authors and photographers and gain visibility.
- If you are thinking of changing the theme of your WordPress blog, be aware that if the current theme you are using is retired and no longer supported by WordPress, you won’t be able to return to it.
Do you have any questions about blogging or social media? Leave them in the comments section.

Another "AI" coding assistant review from the actual field "But for anything more nontrivial, I found it took me more time to validate the code and fix the numerous big and subtle errors than it saved me."
(Original title: Martin Pitt: Testing sourcery.ai and GitHub Copilot for cockpit PR reviews)
This absolutely reflected my experience and is why I turned off Copilot. The time it saved in typing obvious things was not offset by the time I wasted debugging subtle and hard-to-spot bugs that it introduced.
The most depressing thing was that it wasn't even good at things I'd expect a token predictor to be good at. Our coding conventions specify parameter orders that are consistent across subsystems. I expected that something parsing our code would be able to learn this and give subtle hints to enforce it (autocomplete functions and calls with the parameters in the right order). Instead, the autocompletions would randomly swap parameters at call sites and were completely inconsistent in naming things and parameter order for generated functions.
The one thing that it was useful for was identifying missing abstractions. If Copilot could fill in an entire function body, the APIs it was calling were missing an abstraction.

in reply to Jon S. von Tetzchner • • •Is there a way for me to configure the Vivaldi mastodon client to use a non-Vivaldi server?
Why do you think the vertically-organized tabs is such a rare feature in web browsers? Was it especially hard to make for vivaldi? (It was a big selling point for me.)
Jon S. von Tetzchner
in reply to ShovelTrouble • • •@ShovelTrouble
You can add any Mastodon server as a Web panel. That works just fine. That is really how we integrated Vivaldi Social.
I think the question of tabs is the same as for any feature really. We have the principle that we adapt to your needs. Thus we have the ability to have the tabs on the left, right, top or bottom or even hidden. Similarly we have 3 different tab stack methods and generally just a lot of settings. This comes at a cost, but we think that is how we should do things. Thus we adapt to your requirements and needs. The others just do not think that way.

A browser is more than the engine. There is a lot of UI around it and that is what the user engages with. We also change the engine a lot, with more than 2000 files modified. We also add a mail client, calendar, feed reader and a lot more.

I have led a team building a browser engine. The only team that has done that successfully the last 30 years or so. It is not trivial, which is why Apple, Google, Microsoft and others did not do it.
BTW, Chromium is based on Webkit, that is based on KHTML. The project was built in the same building as Opera in Oslo.

I'm not saying it is, however you're claiming that by using Vivaldi people are avoiding big tech, when in reality, the core of Vivaldi is still heavily dependent on Google's goodwill.

The Mozilla project came out of Netscape. Netscape in many ways came out of NTSC, where the original Mosaic browser was made by Marc Andreessen.
Now, unlike Mozilla, we do not get a big paycheck from Google. We get nothing, but we use the Chromium codebase.
