GitHub having a "I appreciate your efforts but respectfully, your code is trash" button would make dependency management a bit more bearable

Update: AI crawler requests Note: No distinction is made between content scrapers and AI-invoked crawlers. Some AIs seem to have made a lot of malicious requests in the last few days, but it's difficult to asses without more data. See alt text for more.
Histogram showing the total amount of requests to my old website made by AI crawlers. The data ranges from approximately mid-2020 to early 2025. The data shows an influx of requests over time.Histogram showing the total amount of requests to my old website made by AI crawlers. The data ranges from approximately late 2023 to now (August of 2026). The data shows an influx of requests over time.
200, 301 and 304 requests are usually AI content scrapers because the requests are successful.
404 requests amount to "robots.txt", "sitemap.xml" (which are legitimate requests by content scrapers) and malicious requests (i.e. testing a lot of URLs in the hopes of finding a security vulnerability). The legitimate 404 requests have been filtered out in the "clean" version.Histogram showing the amount of requests to my new website made by AI crawlers. This diagram is equivalent to the previous one except that requests to "robots.txt" and "sitemap.xml", both 404 requests, have been filtered out.
This means that most of the shown 404 requests are malicious, i.e. requests which test a multitude of URLs in the hopes of finding a security vulnerability.
The spike at the end shows data since approximately the 8th of August. According to the sent user agents, the top initiators of malicious requests in this time period are GrokBot (358 requests), Applebot (216 requests) and ChatGPT (174 requests).
Keep in mind that these are only approximate observations. For example, I'm not sure why Applebot would send malicious requests all of sudden, it could be user agent spoofing.

I love making chickpea stew! I'll just attach the german recipe I use because trying to find an english equivalent yields me only slop. I usually leave out the meat and add a can of chopped tomatoes, and some crème fraîche in the end :3 www.chefkoch.de/rezepte/1450...

I found out that it was manufactured in 1994 and now I wonder how many more shared-flat-generations it will reliably outlast after my departure

dear god just saw how an it looks when someone's hit with the account wide adult content warning and it's fucking MISERABLE blurred icon, blurred banner, every single post is hidden, even text posts, and posts that have images require you to hit unhide TWICE for the text and image, fucking nightmare

this story is so funny because it was entirely preventable if a single human had used their brain. this isn't even about AI, just about the brainrot in the industry. it used to be interns destroying prod with admin creds, today it's LLM chatbots. zero learnings.

I love JavaScript because every few months you stumble across a mention of some inconspicuous API you have never heard of and the next thing you know is that you've spent hours delving into a rabbit hole of pure insanity. #javascript

Unfortunately I will not be attending @furality.org this year, as I am not going to give my ID data to #Palantir. I hope they reconsider the age verification requirement, or @vrchat.com adds some other method of verification before then. I value my #privacy. bsky.app/profile/fura...

Fight Chat Control @fightchatcontrol.bsky.social · 12/11/2025
What happened today?

Behind closed doors, the Law Enforcement Working Party group approved the revised Danish Chat Control compromise with broad support. While mandatory scanning had officially been dropped, Article 4 of the new text reframes and reintroduces it by obliging providers of e-mail, chat, and messenger services to take “all appropriate risk mitigation measures”. This effectively forces providers to scan all messages, including private, end-to-end encrypted content. 

The same article outlaws anonymous communication by requiring every citizen to verify their age before accessing a service, kneecapping whistleblowers, journalists, political activists, and people seeking help who depend on anonymity. Article 6 further imposes a digital house arrest and would ban minors from installing software which comes with a significant risk of grooming, such as WhatsApp, Instagram, and online games like Roblox.

What happens next?

The legislation now moves to the Coreper (Committee of Permanent Representations) for approval. Without major political objections, the Council will formally adopt its position. At this stage, both the Council and Commission unite in imposing mass surveillance on all 450 million citizens of the European Union and we enter a rushed trilogue. Unfortunately, while the mandate of the European Parliament does not suffer from the same flaws, the Parliament is traditionally known for giving in.

What now?

We raise our voices. Louder.
