Stock buybacks are just more tax-efficient dividends. Both return value to the shareholders, but buybacks only realize the gains for the shareholders that want to sell some stock.

If they were illegal companies would issue more dividends

No, not until you embrace open source software. It was always going to be enshittified. Just a matter of time

Because I don't care to set up a bot that monitors what is being said while I'm offline. Matrix is actually better, though

Oh, it can get a lot worse

It's actually better than Google's search results which are SEO spam

Yeah, it's fine as long as you don't block legitimate users. For example, when I use a VPN a lot of sites block me. Even when my actual IP is banned when I'm in China (4chan range bans Chinese IPs) or the website is blocked in China.

Ever heard of counting attempts? Log the IP, present a CAPTCHA after 100 requests in a minute.

Besides, if I wrote a bot I would run a browser dialer from Chrome. It would request your site in a Chrome tab and appear completely legitimate to your stupid fingerprinting scripts

By that logic everyone should buy a foldable

I bought a pixel fold because the screen on the front is small and it opens in a wide format when I need to look at tables

Terrible, horrifying. But what kind of porn? Where would I go to see it to verify this?
