  I feel like it’s not a big impact on security if I use 2fa anyway. <Base password><month><year> is fine for me 😅

  When I heard about it first, I thought it was some open source project, because of the name. :(

  There are a lot more people living in China, so it makes sense too.

  When I last tried to let some AI write actual code, it didn’t even compile 🙂 And another time when it actually compiled it was trash anyway and I had to spend as much time fixing it, as I would have spent writing it myself in the first place.

  So far I can only use AI as a glorified search engine 😅

  Basically everyone (noticeably a bunch of people/organisations I definitely would like to follow) still seem to use Xitter as a platform for PR… Please, just stop :(

  Actually currently it contains this:

  User-agent: *
  Disallow: /
  

  Well, that actually is a blanket ban for everyone, so something else must be at play here.

  robots.txt, I guess? Yes, you can just ignore it, but you shouldn’t, if you develop a responsible web scraper.
