Bundeskabinett bringt Recht auf Reparatur auf den Weg

We recently came across an amazing project called uBlockOrigin & uBlacklist Huge AI Blocklist.

As they describe it, it's:

A huge blocklist of manually curated sites (1000+) that contain AI generated content, for the purposes of cleaning image search engines (Google Search, DuckDuckGo, and Bing) with uBlock Origin or uBlacklist.

There's something really lovely at the top of the uBlock Origin filter list, just under the description, that brought us a small bit of very-much-needed joy, and we wanted to share it here with others 🫶

! HAPPY PRIDE MONTH

Nous fêtons ce 24 mars, le 206ème anniversaire de la naissance d’Edmond
Becquerel, le découvreur français de l’effet photovoltaïque.

Aurait-il pu deviner qu'à travers le monde :
🔸plus d’un milliard de panneaux PV seraient fabriqués chaque année,
🔸près d’un habitant sur 1 000 travaillerait dans la filière PV,
🔸près de 1 800 MW PV seraient installés chaque jour.

Merci !

For nearly 30 years, journalists have relied on the Internet Archive to see how stories were originally published, before edits, removals, or changes. We need to safeguard that. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/03/blocking-internet-archive-wont-stop-ai-it-will-erase-webs-historical-record
Blocking the Internet Archive Won’t Stop AI, But It Will Erase the Web’s Historical Record

Imagine a newspaper publisher announcing it will no longer allow libraries to keep copies of its paper. That’s effectively what’s begun happening online in the last few months. The Internet Archive—the world’s largest digital library—has preserved newspapers since it went online in the mid-1990s....
