riddle me this: what's stopping AI scrapers from changing their user agent if they already don't respect robots.txt

stupid-ass arms race

after downloading and deleting all 97 tracks from my main account (and solving 2 captchas about it), i have been blocked from accessing my 2 other secondary accounts

oh finally discord overlay integration with (checks notes) aseprite

can anyone explain to me why my website shows up in google results with capitalized letters? not a single one of those words anywhere in the http response for that url are capitalized (and there's a spurious comma they added there too), what is triggering google to mangle the contents of my website like this and how do i fix it

here's a new one for me: i bought an msata ssd in order to use it on an msata to laptop ide caddy. the (much older) laptop i put it in unwittingly booted into the drive, which contains a report including the hardware information for the laptop it was erased in. what the hell

got an Olivetti Lettera 82, it was already in decent shape but i had to obsess over aligning some of the characters that had gotten misaligned over the years (not shift alignment, forming type bars for horizontal alignment). this included soldering the U type slug entirely since it came clean off

not awful for the first time, i think
