@thomholwerda Thank you for putting “AI” in quotation marks.

@alexskunz @hex0x93 @zeborah @david_chisnall Yes, thatʼs the one I use.

@hex0x93 @zeborah @david_chisnall I hear you as I get annoyed, too. I believe ours is the one with the tick box, so no stupid 'Choose the bicycles' or rejection because you use a VPN.

@zeborah @hex0x93 @david_chisnall This pretty much describes us. Scrapers as well as brute-force hackers multiple times per hour (even literally per second). One siteʼs traffic was 75–80 per cent scraper.

@woozle @david_chisnall I still do! Old habits.

@danherbert @mark @david_chisnall Sadly, that is our reality. One siteʼs traffic was 75–80 per cent scraper (even back in 2023) so up went the Cloudflare blocks and challenges. (Before anyone @s me about this, Iʼm not a computer whiz so this is the only thing I know how to use.) And itʼs finally worked after figuring out which ASNs and IP addresses are the worst, with traffic on that site back to pre-2023 levels (which I know means an overall drop in ranking).

@cstross Wow, did not know number 1. I wonder when this practice stopped in New Zealand. I remember my dad wiring plugs but then that was his trade.

@MelissaBearTrix Goodness me, that is gross.

@SecureOwl Back in 2011, if you typed in Paris when searching for a city in Facebook, these were the only options. The one in Tennessee with the Eiffel Tower looks amazing. No wonder few folks know about non-US Parises, since they have so many at home!

@Gargron Alles Gute!
