IIRC it should be able to be made to work since it does everything a browser does, found this search result, though it has been a while since I used it myself at all. Another thing you might try that has worked for me is iMacros, that’s a little simpler and more basic than Selenium but should work for what you say you want to do.
The reason to use Selenium is if the website you want to scrape uses javascript in a way that inhibits getting content without a full browser environment. BeautifulSoup is just a parser, it can’t solve that problem.
The OP tweet seems to be leaning pretty hard on the “AI bad” sentiment. If LLMs make academic knowledge more accessible to people that’s a good thing for the same reason what Aaron Swartz was doing was a good thing.
A year ago local LLM was just not there, but the stuff you can run now with 8gb vram is pretty amazing, if not quite as good yet as GPT 4. Honestly even if it stops right where it is, it’s still powerful enough to be a foundation for a more accessible and efficient way to interface with computers.

I don’t think that’s necessarily true, right wing activist trolls go for volume.
I think it’s just since it is a visible thing, and because alternatives are products you can buy and be seen using, it becomes a prime target for scolding and virtue signalling.
The feature only lets you filter posts, not users from that instance.

The “waste” is negligible; doing some napkin math, a 20 minute car ride accounts for 300 times higher carbon footprint than a plastic produce bag (can elaborate if you want). A reused mesh bag is going to be less hygienic and less convenient, and factoring in the higher footprint of production and distribution (produce bags come in packs of thousands) you would need to get a lot of reuse out of it to even be worth it. Considering impact of disposal, as long as you live somewhere that has sane waste disposal and doesn’t empty their trash into the ocean it’s not going to be significant either.
What I always think about whenever this sort of question comes up is how it would be super awkward having an adult brain but having to interact with children as peers
We could make it work like that. Just have the thermometer be narrower at the bottom.
Fucking authoritarians ruin everything
Not really, you’re saying if people you dislike are associated with something then you automatically write it off without understanding it. That’s self mockery.
Maybe it’s because they still need someone to watch over the self checkout terminals, in case someone tries to scam the machine or needs an id check for alcohol or makes a mistake and needs to undo a step etc.
that seems more anti free speech than anything
So what do people think of TPM, supposedly why they’re doing this?

Well if I was doing it I probably would be trying to focus on browser emulation to avoid having to dig into those sorts of details. It sounds like OP is a beginner and needs a simple method.
