I mean just about every metric I’ve seen suggests most websites that see an increase in scraping see a decrease in actual human visitors. I doubt there’s much distinction between chat and search users - the goal of these services is to drop click-through rates.
Did they? They’ve got the recipe for the max tile, but not yet the highest score of all tiles on the page.
No. Just… No.
These will never have any meaningful effect unless you can convince an entire city of people they don’t need to daylight their yards/streets/closed businesses at night “for safety”, and until you can convince an entire planet of businesses their billboards and signs can fuck right off.
There’s such an unbelievable amount of light pollution on this planet and 99% of the population is indifferent at best, and actively opposed because they think their lights are “pretty/tasteful/necessary” at worst.
Even if you had a community commit to these lights, all it takes is one distracted driver mowing down a pedestrian crossing the street to send neighbors into a tizzy to get a city council to bring back the 660000 lumen flood lights. Who cares that the car had headlights, the community needs something to blame and played the safety card. Game over.
/rant, sorry about that but I hate light pollution so much and feel like this is always a losing battle. It can be done but fuck people.
There are also tons of banks that let you bank through a web browser, banking apps are hardly critical if you have a sane bank
Except you skipped the part where IT is ridiculously underfunded and treated like crap (“We’re a utility, not a tech company!”)
With constant turnover, the person receiving the “Just make it work” call is about 6 layers removed from the person who originally set up the infrastructure, and probably completely unaware of all the previous security holes put in “because it’s air-gapped, it doesn’t matter.”
They look like wild California strawberries to me, which I’ve grown in the past and were sweet and delicious:

Legend did what it could to support the game post-launch, ultimately releasing a multiplayer mode named Unreal 2: XMP, which was extremely well received by the people who played it.
I cannot tell you how many hours I sunk into U2:XMP. Have not found anything close to scratching that itch since. A great mix of CTF/KOTH game modes in one, and an excellent custom map scene.
Or you could just get a dog and never miss someone at the door again.
