you can peck one eye out. he needs the other one so that he can watch in agony as immigrants cross the border

it feels like monopolies have become so common and widespread that companies are starting to forget that sometimes you can lose customers after raising prices.

can we get another red rectangle around the whole picture please

what do you mean reasons other than us politics? do other kinds of reasons even exist?

”Money making is a skill,” the website states. “We will teach you how to master it.”

step 1: convince people to pay you 50$ for access to your deranged ramblings.

how the fuck could they have possibly done things in a way that makes explorer tabs depend on recall?

if they can’t even separate out recall from the rest of the operating system then i have absolutely no faith it will be secure.

why write better software when you can simply tell the customer to buy better hardware?

i would probably word it as something like:

Robots.txt is a document that specifies which parts of a website bots are and are not allowed to visit. While it’s not a legally binding document, it has long been common practice for bots to obey the rules listed in robots.txt.

in that description, i’m trying to keep the accessible tone that they were going for in the article (so i wrote “document” instead of file format/IETF standard), while still trying to focus on the following points:

• robots.txt is fundamentally a list of rules, not a single line of code
• robots.txt can allow bots to access certain parts of a website, it doesn’t have to ban bots entirely
• it’s not legally binding, but it is still customary for bots to follow it

i did also neglect to mention that robots.txt allows you to specify different rules for different bots, but that didn’t seem particularly relevant here.

but then the market would be ever so slightly less free. the horror!
