Not being able to run ai spyware 11 sounds like a big entry in the plus column to me ๐Ÿ˜…

Sweden have been leading the way in extracting screens and digital services from schools. Worth reading this: https://www.afterbabel.com/p/sweden-went-all-in-on-screens-in?publication_id=1221094 Plenty of data referenced for the reasons why...

A fair response. Just couldn't see anything except US references when I looked at the site.

Love the princess bride reference. Thank you for acting on behalf of those of us with less technical skills.

Your comment is more technical than I can properly follow, but this all reminds me of the tarpits I read about a year ago. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/01/ai-haters-build-tarpits-to-trap-and-trick-ai-scrapers-that-ignore-robots-txt/

Is that more usable? (Genuine curiosity from someone who would shed no tears if the plagiarism machines experienced resistance)
