I would probably try an AI version of the XKCD packages script

Unfortunately the original non-profit hobby got co-opted by a corporation.

There's opencaching but it's dead.

It was a little weird having both pay and wallet existing.

So now it will just respond "and my axe" to every question?

Yes, but that data doesn't include user IPs.

I would hope a piracy instance is hosted somewhere that doesn't care about such things as American court orders.

I have chronic depression, it's just a normal day.

Burzum and skrewdriver? or is that going too far?

Bots can buy phone numbers, hell, they can solve most captchas better than humans.

There’s a reason why Telegram is flooded with bots, Signal as of now has not been.

Telegram requires a phone number, so it clearly isn't working.

It was the original purpose of the bitcoin algorithm to limit spam.

If you have to do a lot of maths that takes your computer (for example) 30 seconds, that means it costs 30 seconds of compute to create an account. Nothing to an average user, for a spammer that wants thousands of accounts it gets expensive.

Several captcha[0] libraries already use this and it's great for accessibility (normal captchas are terrible for it)

[0] I know, it's not technically a captcha.

Yeah, the dude has like 20 kids, just on pure chance one of them probably doesn't hate him (or at least pretends not to for the money).

At least Ballmer seemed like he enjoyed being stinking rich.
