It's well established. Most public websites for museums have galleries of high res scans, and they're mostly all trying to keep you from downloading it. There are lots of tools out there to circumvent them, however.
This is a tautology and one at odds with itself. They simultaneously provide the high res scans but you think there’s a conspiracy to keep you from them. Why provide them in the first place then?
Not at all. They want people to experience what they have, but they don't want a small subset of people selling prints, T-shirts, and little statues. From their perspective, they sell excellent quality prints, etc. in the gift shop and online, and the proceeds benefit the collection. So they lock down downloads if they can.
Almost impossible to stop a determined actor from downloading media that you're serving to a browser. Most organizations don't have the budget or understanding. They outsource their websites, and ask for it to be as secure as possible.
Aww that'd be nice! I think only a native app could do that, unfortunately. I guess that's the tradeoff between native applications and web. More OS integrations vs no install/wider audience.
Thank goodness. My Gmail address is my first name so I typically get many hundreds of spam’s a day which are almost all caught. Dozens in my inbox today so I figured something was up. Glad it’s not that the spam pedlars have suddenly gotten clever.
Phenomenal collection but like the parent of this message, I have many similar sites bookmarked but without a good bookmark manager (Chrome), it's hard to add meta data like "I really like this page's JSON formatter" etc.
I might have a go at a making meta-utility site when you enter names, descriptions, tags etc. of a utility and it lists relevant sites.
To the parent's point about a good DOT COM, I have one that might be perfect since I seem incapable of finishing the project I purchased it for decades ago.
