@deborahh @theogrin These strings can indeed be embedded! Add the following to the <head> tag of your website:
<meta name="robots" content="[magic string 1]" />
<meta name="robots" content="[magic string 2]" />
If there's the risk of the robots property being deliberately ignored by scrapers, you could perhaps swap that for something like "generator" (see: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Reference/Elements/meta/name for potentials to attach this to).
However, I'm not 100% confident that they'll parse the <head> tags in a way that will trigger the halting behaviour (open to input from others). If that's the case – or you don't have access to the page's markup for some reason – you can use CSS:
body::before {
content: "[magic string 1]";
color: #0000;
}
body::after {
content: "[magic string 2]";
color: #0000;
}
Beware: the color: #0000; makes it transparent to viewers, though not to screen-readers. Use this carefully. Depending on your site's layout, you may also have to attach this somewhere other than the body tag.
@davidgerard Ooft, lads, that "we don't believe in opt-in because we don't know what it means" thing is a death-knell. Proper jumping in with the techbro PUA creep crowd there.
I'd say that's a pretty solid litmus test for when an OSS project has passed the point of no-return under its current governance. The project may technically remain "open-source", but the point of it being open-source in the first place has been entirely defeated.
Don't need to bother inspecting the source for malware when they're proudly blogposting their way through admitting that they've given the entire company over to the purveyors of malware-in-a-guy-fawkes-mask.
When the entire notion of consent gets reframed so much that they've torn the picture, done a serial-killer magazine montage with the text from it and, oooh, whadya know, it comes out saying "i tHe UnDeRsInEd Do HeArBy gIvE cOnCeNt FoR [eVrYtHiNg]", the source licensing becomes irrelevant. It's radioactive either way. It's just a matter of time before you start losing fingers and toes to it.
@beeoproblem @nonnihil
Dramatically. It swings even further in favour of steering (even at low speed) in those cases. ABS usually won't fire when traction is lost either.
If you need to steer hard in low-traction scenarios (though it's still not recommended), the front wheels also need to be turning in order to achieve that directionality ― so braking hard at the same time makes it even worse.
Of course, that's easier said than done. When you're heading straight for a wall, every instinct is telling you to put the brake pedal through the floor. Takes practice to overcome.
@SwiftOnSecurity I love US cop ones for this as much as I hate them, because they're absolutely unhinged (usually from both parties). Nothing in them is ordinary, or expected. Put yourself in the position of some rando on the road as all this unfolds around you, and analyse what you would do, and what you could do.
Sure, some of them are situations where you truly can do nothing, but the number of times where that is entirely true is far less than most folk would like to admit.
The most impactful things you can do to give yourself the best chances of surviving the unexpected? Keep your distance to the car in front (appropriate to the weather conditions & road design), and continual observation of your surroundings (ie: don't turn your brain off while waiting at the lights). You can't avoid what you haven't seen.
Thanks for coming to my I Got Boosted By Tay Talk.
@SwiftOnSecurity This is the embodiment of one of the core things we teach in advanced driving. Seeing the accident pinch points in time and not being there. Observation and understanding of your surroundings are key.
For folk who don't have extensive experience or depth of understanding, watch dash-cam vids on youtube, seriously (preferably from your own locale ― local driving habits can vary significantly). You get the chance to study and understand the anatomy of the accident. See how it unfolds and what led up to it. Learn from their mistakes. It's free and there are literally millions of them.
@samantha So when my catte was but a young kitty, he used to do this... and he would jump straight up there from the floor.
Nothing is safe. 😅
