It seems like this solution is intended to solve the problem of bots padding numbers for sites providing advertisements on the web. This isn’t a userland problem, it’s an advertiser problem. But the user experience will be worse for it. I’m

I agree with your overall ideal of free access to information but I disagree that harassment is a necessary or even effective option to push against this. I think the harassment puts us in a category of ineffective, bitter malcontents and t

While retailers continue to rely on customers to replace cashiers, their non-payed cashiers will continue to make mistakes. Seems fair to me. Want to reduce your theft? Hire some cashiers. It’s also really stupid to check receipts at the do

This is a project I’ve been working on to lob verbal grenades at everyone in power. If it seems like I haven’t criticized any certain person yet, just come back later, I’m getting to it. https://larata.media

While I appreciate the push for privacy and anti-tracking, ultimately the tools to prevent tracking are in the hands of users and organizations. The concept that countries have jurisdiction or even exist within the confines of the web is a

It’s not that people don’t want diversity, it’s that the pendulum of inclusiveness has swung to the opposite end; where it can only be recognized as exclusiveness. Diversity of skin color has been achieved for the most part, but now it’s ex

While I do like this concept, I’ve always done this simply by compiling all the dependencies into the same folder root as the application. It never needed to be any more complicated than that. Application developers made it complicated by n
