"Sorry, you have been blocked"

Well I guess I won't be reading your article then.

The way so many web sites are now banning whole parts of the world is killing the Internet.

That seems excessive. In many parts of the world, WhatsApp is the default app for texting people (ie the one you use to contact a plumber or a restaurant) and not having it means the phone fails at its most basic requirements.

It blows my mind that a bunch of adults, prosecutors, CPS employees, etc all decided the fair, reasonable and best thing to do was prosecute and punish this mother.

Lucky you, at least you can load it. My IP (from a generic run of the mill ISP) just seems outright blocked.

From my understanding this one is used for hiring tech workers only. The (very) widely used Workday application system for ex seems to have its own built-in ATS.

I try to stick to plain HTML5 / Javascript validation. Trying to not reinvent the wheel and use what the browser already has built-in seems best.

Are we talking about bonds or government bonds here? The former will beat inflations assuming you don't just buy AAA rated ones. Investment grade perpetual bonds in US dollars yield over 6.5% on a Yield-to-call basis.

I use a plain Firefox on a plain Windows 11 PC on a plain regular mass market ISP in a developed country and I get completely blocked by websites daily.

At least let me complete a "prove you are human" challenge or something, but don't outright ban my IP address?

Well my IP (regular plain residential Asian ISP) is blocked on this site. Zealous Cloudflare-blocking is breaking the web.

(also thanks for the useful message telling me to "contact the website owner... while blocking me from the website where the contact info should be)

> It's people who stopped believing anyone was watching.

Which, in the era of social media, video surveillance, smartphones and dashcams, is crazy. Once you leave your home, you have to assume everything you do is recorded and might end up online or in court.

I spent countless hours as a teen on that game. I feel it might be faster to rewrite it from scratch though than reverse engineer it.

AFAIK it's a meme stock, reality doesn't matter anymore than it matters for Tesla or Gamestock.
