I don’t see what’s unclear about that account deletion page to be honest. It reads clearly to me that the account has been deleted and if you want to use the same email again, you can create an entirely new account using the same email, but it doesn’t reactivate the account.

Ok, it's clear that I misunderstood. Thanks for clarifying.

Why so agressive? You're making a conclusion from a tenuous correlation. I upvoted TFA because I've been annoyed with my Apple keyboard and them not fixing it. Not becaue I saw some other post on window resizing. Judging by the other comments here a bunch of people are in the same boat. I've been complaining in my social circle about it and have partially switched to Android as a result.

I think so? It caused the same issue when I cross posted to Lobste.rs

Actually I've been informed otherwise, they crawl known links first according to this person:

> Unfortunately, based on what I'm seeing in my logs, I do need the bot detection. The crawlers that visit me, have a list of URLs to crawl, they do not immediately visit newly discovered URLs, so it would take a very, very long time to fill their queue. I don't want to give them that much time.

It's not clear that they are doing that. Web logs I've seen from other writing on this topic show them re-crawling the same pages at high rates, in addition to crawling new pages

How would the links be prioritized? If the bots goal is to crawl all content would they have prioritization built-in?

The follow on post explains:

> You don’t really need any bot detection: just linking to the garbage from your main website will do. Because each page links to five more garbage pages, the crawler’s queue will quickly fill up with an exponential amount of garbage until it has no time left to crawl your real site.

New comment by lolpython in "How I bypassed Amazon's Kindle web DRM"

lolpython — Fri, 17 Oct 2025 15:45:26 +0000

If you buy the book on Amazon, then the author gets some money, but if you don’t buy it, then they don’t. And it’s not like you have zero alternatives, you could also just buy the physical copy in most cases. So when you say you’re unable to buy the book that’s not truthful. No one is forcing you to steal their work, you have the option to just not read their work if your distribution preferences are so specific. And the distribution terms of the book are likely set by the publisher for many authors, especially smaller ones. I doubt most authors even know what DRM is.

Greyhound is a really bad bus operator, and they are the only option for a lot of routes. But on more competitive routes like NYC to Maine or NYC to upstate cities you get much better operators. I’ve had very positive experiences riding on those corridors with OurBus and Concorde Coach Lines. Clean seats, quiet passengers and on time departure. So it’s not bad everywhere in the US.

The majority of the independent developers on the platform are adults. Recall that creators can make money on Roblox.

> The majority of Roblox’s creators are now over 18, and the company thinks they are ready to build more mature worlds on the platform.

It’s an autocorrect typo, and if we are ruling on Alon trivia, Alon doesn’t go by “him” last I checked.

I read Alton‘a blog all the time and just didn’t understand the linked blog post at all. I think it was just poorly written.
