We were getting about few hundred spam registrations per day on one of our sites. With CF's captcha number drops to tens per day. I have no idea who and why make these registrations.

Article is not clear. Does this law blocks B2B calls? If so then it can cause damage to the business.

I have exactly the same problem with Time Machine spinner on macOS. It even doesn't rotate.

Somewhere should be rare specialists with diploma who are capable of fixing such problems with waiting lists for years ahead.

Pasteboard counter exists to help apps to not ask again about the same item in the buffer.

And nothing stops from using reset it every day.

If you don't have adv from platform itself it doesn't mean that site content is not flooded by endless spammers content. LinkedIn is great example where you have both.

More interesting that LinkedIn use fingerprinting everywhere and connect your personal data to every device you are using and connect to other services connected to their network.

At work, I meet many people with similar experiences. But the number of people who are able to use new tools is gradually increasing. I myself spent many hours learning how to make my AI work and make workable code. Moreover, I treated it as something important and new. So much so that I began to view my own old code differently. Not as something with sentimental value. But at the same time, it can easily become obsolete in the face of new realities.

I don't mean to devalue your feelings about your code. But I myself I went through devaluing my own work. Perhaps people who did carpentry in the old days treated their tools with care, creating beautiful engravings for the hard-polished handles. But now you can saw a board with a power tool, and we have lost the culture of these craftsmen.

AI is changing the attitude toward code. It may sound painful, but the value of old work has diminished. On the other hand, the main goal of developers has not changed. We're still solving problems, not writing code for the sake of code.

Honestly, I couldn't care less about the rights to my code in today's world. What you're describing probably really bothered me a couple of years ago. But today, I'm not even sure what programming language my next project will be in. Everything has changed so much and is changing so rapidly that perhaps in a couple of years, corporations will be worried about their huge and important products.

What if, in a couple of years, you can create your own Photoshop with video editing capabilities? Maybe that will be possible too.
