Purely anecdotal, but I play World of Warcraft and I clocked significantly less bots farming herbs/ore around. On a more serious note, Ukraine has accomplished many things, but if they can bring down Russian propaganda bots it might be the biggest gift to the world yet.

    A particular party in the BBC may not have been able to measure a difference in their monitoring. Okay. But I would take it with a grain of salt...

    Science can't prove something didn't happen. We will never have evidence for that.

    We can only collect evidence for things that occur. In this case, we have some anecdotes. And, not having evidence is even more anecdotal.

    The Ukrainians are not just gritty and resilient, inventive and brave, they sure know how to make fun at the same time. What a country!

    That's due to a lawsuit Twitter brought against them. Nothing to do with Ukranian attacks.

    Overblown verification process (Anubis). JS required. Not recommendable.

    I kinda figured Anubis was one of the better verification processes? Seems preferable to Cloudflare anyway?

    So THAT'S what it means to put your data in the cloud - vaporise it!
