Yep or consider just blocking AS numbers of places people typically aren’t purchasing things from such as cheap VPS companies. The user agents, can you post those?

do you have the user agent string of their browser? did you look up the AS number of the IP addresses they're using?

I used to work at the Free Software Foundation which is unionized. Glitch (prior to being bought by Fastly) was also unionized, but the unionization stopped after Fastly.

Where do you live?

I run a music community that’s been around for 16 years and many users are asking me what they can do to avoid AI in their lives and I’m going to start building tools to help. Many of the people pushing for a lot of AI stuff are the same pe

I’m a free software developer and have been for over 25 years. I’ve worked at many of the usual places too and I enjoy and appreciate the different licenses used for software. I’m also a filmmaker and married to a visual artist. I don’t tou

Tailwind also feels way too verbose to be useful. Maybe it’s good like Bootstrap for making every site look the same.

You can absolutely make a web app with just PHP without the need to have a ton of extraneous stuff. The author isn't incorrect here. EDIT: a typical CRUD app will be fine with just PHP, HTML and CSS.
