I've been getting into making and breaking these antibots recently and it's funny to me how the person who wrote this post gave so much attention to what LinkedIn was doing and left the other antibots on the page as a footnote. They grab way more, they just don't let you see it. I haven't reversed PX or Recap yet but the antibot on twitch and Nike similarly checks if you have any of these 53 apps installed (when loaded on a WebKit browser) https://pastebin.com/raw/KACvjpTK

And so did everyone else, making it... Dead? If you've got some good alternative communities then do tell!

I've already been doing this haha, got Claude to install VR mods into a game that most certainly should not have been working with VR mods on linux

It sounds weird because Claude wrote it

Some of the more recent versions of it had memory leaks so you couldn't just leave it on in the background

I had to abandon it because of the memory leak, it would fill up all my memory in a matter of minutes. The devs don't seem to pay it much attention: https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/issues/5363

As one of said generation, I would chalk it up to instant communication creating innumerable shallow remote relationships that significantly replace time spent with others in person.


maybe not overrun by spam, but the amount of bots I see on popular subs is definitely not 0


I found a new one in claude recently with "Fair enough, ..."


Wow this is big, what's the best device/remote stack to use it with?


For streaming, any mini-PC (e.g. N100 or a used thin client) paired with an airmouse remote (I use a Pepperjobs remote). If you want to use Steam on that machine and play modern games however, then you basically need a gaming PC and an Xbox controller.


Hoarding/archiving/collecting is quite fun. I don't think it's a stretch to say he likely read more then the average person, and from his own collection too!
