A short intro on what Biome is would be helpful - specifically here in a more general community, but also typically in release notes.
Quoting the home landing page:
Biome is a fast formatter for JavaScript, TypeScript, JSX, TSX, JSON, CSS and GraphQL that scores 97% compatibility with Prettier, saving CI and developer time.
and include expensive endpoints like git blame, every page of every git log, and every commit in your repository. They do so using random User-Agents from tens of thousands of IP addresses, each one making no more than one HTTP request, trying to blend in with user traffic.
That's insane. They also mention crawling happening every 6 hours instead of only once. And the vast majority of traffic coming from a few AI companies.
It's a shame. The US won't regulate - and certainly not under the current administration. China is unlikely to.
So what can be done? Is this how the internet splits into authorized and not? Or into largely blocked areas? Maybe responses could include errors that humans could identify and ignore but LLMS would not to poison them?
When you think about the economic and environmental cost of this it's insane. I knew AI is expensive to train and run. But now I have to consider where they leech from for training and live queries too.

You like the marketplace? I dislike it. Or at least its form. I appreciate that there is sharing of actions.
But I dislike having to navigate between repo and marketplace pages. I dislike that I have to assess who publishes them and inspect whether they and the code are trustworthy, and I have to assess risk or whether to copy or extract the relevant code. (And then you have to add and configure via text and magic strings and look up params elsewhere which of course is a consequence of the tech, not a fault of the marketplace itself.)
I feel it adds so much indirection and diffusion it's hard to do good trustworthy actions/code well. Which if course stands against it's usefulness of sharing workflows and actions. I know I'm more concerned and more thorough with that stuff than most people.
You mean as a library? ffmpeg can be integrated as a library but also be considered an application. GStreamer is a library only, as far as I know. You'll need to run other applications that use it to run it.
I haven't seen information on that. Only speculations in comments here on Lemmy. I didn't and don't follow SUSE or this news closely though.
A commenter mentioned how SUSE has core business in hosting and business environment, while OpenSUSE userbase is more desktop and [non-paying?] end-user.
There wasn't (to me anyway) strong arguments for why they do. Maybe they just want to get rid of the investment, and don't see enough gain in the good publicity and it as an entry point to them anymore.
PDF magic… It has grainy text. But the selectable text and displayed text have a 1-character offset.
I assume they display the original scan so it definitely does not contain errors, while still providing the image-parsed text for searchability, indexability, and select-+copyability?
Unfortunately, the grainy text is hard[er] to read.
Kan't go wrong with that
The advocation for package manager platforms to include licensing and pay is interesting.
I had no idea experts exchange existed before stack overflow.
For me, it started showing up in web search results years after stack overflow became popular. And I was confused and annoyed why a copycat with pay walled features (even the answers IIRC) was given priority by search engines.
I use a single key and morse code
Arguably, the openness is in that the EU OS can switch from one to another at some point if it becomes necessary.
Supporting multiple alternatives within the same platform and OS is costly. Not only the integration, but also user training and troubleshooting, specifically about the many, big and small subtle differences. Focusing on one, for now anyway, makes sense.
