About zlatko

Bio

According to some, I'm avant-garde ;)

I try to stick to software development and engineering topics, often related to application development, but I also shitpost random stuff, occassionally about photography, (usually not more then) react to politics or economics.

My website is https://zlatko.dev but I less completely-infrequently post a photo or two to my photo gallery https://photos.zlatko.dev.

I also used to post at https://pixelfed.social/zlatko, and https://programming.dev/u/zlatko, and I'll occassionally swipe here and there.

rant against scraper bots, nothing useful for ya probably Toggle visibility

The damn AI scrapper bots are ruining more and more of the internet.

swcombine.com is the latest small community affected (that I'm a personally aware of)

Fucking thousand-fold increase in traffic. And you can't do much about it.

I wish the European commission would go two orders of magnitude beyond what they occasionally do well, impose strict limits on scraping, and threaten to just shut down the company and put the C-level in prison, for repeat offenders.

Some managers would probably still be willing to risk stuff for money, but I don't think VC funds would be willing to risk their billion dollar investments.

But, that's just utopia.

I always liked these days when I'm doing something physical, get really exhausted. I then go on out, for a walk or a run or something (for a beer back in the day), and then on a long boring walk home, just feel spacy and weird. Good weird though. The brain roams to such incredible places.
