Yeah skimming it very briefly, it looks like your instance doesn’t even show bot indicators, so, no way you could’ve known really. But there should be a button to turn it off somewhere in your user settings, probably down near the bottom.
I mean I can certainly understand where the confusion may have come from.
Thank god, for a second there I thought they meant “cracking down on people dodging Windows 11 by intentionally disabling TPM,” like I’ve been doing. False alarm, carry on.
Betcha there’d be more posts there if people actually knew where to get kites…
I know for a fact I’ve said I was going to “Xerox some copies” on a machine that was almost certainly not manufactured by the Xerox Holdings Corporation.
“Oh, this new post already has a comment, let’s check it out! … Dang it!”
That’s pretty much my gripe. One time I saw a post with maybe six, seven comments, opened it up, and they were all either the bot, or replies to the bot.
And even if you block the bot the post still shows up as having comments. So you’ll open up a post boasting the aforementioned six or seven comments expecting to find a lively debate, or at least a wisecrack about global affairs, and leave with a bunch of tumbleweeds and the lingering knowledge that somewhere, two or more people are arguing with a machine about whether or not it thinks the newspaper is any good.
Beyond that, it also just runs way worse; new.reddit takes at least twice as long to load a page than old.reddit. And when your entire business model is based on exploiting my stunted attention span to trick me into reading advertisements, you can’t give me that extra two and a half seconds to realize maybe I don’t give a shit about half the garbage I just mindlessly scrolled through, or else I’m gonna just go, like, fly a kite or something. And I don’t wanna do that, where do you even get a kite?
And hell, it’s entirely possible this rate limit isn’t just restricted to old.reddit, but nobody’s noticed yet because new.reddit is too slow to make 100 requests in a measly 10 minutes.
Hell I have yet to see him have worth.
“Now now, Batman, you should know that when a little pest like you dances with the Bug Zapper… He’d better be ready for a shock!”
Doctor Ruth died in-between those two; we’re onto a new set of threes now.
“Security footage shows several ne’er-do-wells in domino masks fleeing the scene with a number of burlap sacks, clearly-marked with bright green dollar signs, no doubt containing the compromised data. AT&T security suggests the culprits must have ‘jimmied open’ their servers with a crowbar, or perhaps a bundle of dynamite detonated via plunger from a safe distance. One suspect is currently in police custody after attempting to escape through a tunnel painted on the side of a brick wall. More on this story as it develops.”
Season 4 episode 1, as well.
“Hey Tray, how’s connecting with the common man going?”
“It’s going super great, Dotcom. Meet my new friends, Nobody, and his wife, Susan Walters hyphen Nobody!”
I only purchased this toothbrush because that was the only way to get the water-resistant Entertainment Center/Speaker/Corporate Surveillance Device for the one room in my house that is the least comfortable, has the worst acoustics, and has the strongest expectation of privacy, and also I can’t just put a regular Alexa in like a plastic bag or something because I blew my plastic bag budget on a fucking app-controlled toothbrush or whatever the fuck this is supposed to be, jesus christ
This deal is getting worse all the time!
That was my impression as well, yeah. Big “hey ChatGPT, summarize this news article” vibes coming off of this one. And this is the only site the OP ever posts, they’ve got no comments, their account is literally named “Solo Ad”… All the standard robot warning signs, really.
Maybe, but on further reading…

…I have some concerns about the reputability of this particular outlet in general.
Edit: … and the header at the top of the page is just the default logo for that blogspot theme, the dates are in French, the “Contact Us” form says “We will revert you as soon as possible”, and the Facebook link at the bottom leads to a page named “Painting Art” with one post from September 2023. Yeah, I dunno about this one, fellas.
Shit, an emulator getting taken down for… actual copyright infringement? You don’t see that every day.
