What these companies then sell to *their* customers is network access through the devices/PCs that have an app with this SDK installed. They are proud to tell you how you can funnel your (AI) web scraping etc through millions of rotating, residential and mobile IP addresses. Exactly the pattern we see hitting our servers.

The web is broken, IMHO
So there is a (IMHO) shady market out there that gives app developers on iOS, Android, MacOS and Windows money for including a library that sells users network bandwidth. Infatica [1] is just one example, there are many more.
I am 99% sure that these companies cause what effectively are DDoS attacks that many webmasters have to deal with since months. This business model should simply not exist. Apple, Microsoft and Google should act.

uspol, cynical anarchist viewpoint
Democrats maintained the camps for two presidencies after no questions asked, gave cops bonuses when they rioted and killed, and emboldened the DHS and post-9/11 "national security apparatus".
They are already coaching people over how they just need one more go at giving a fuck about other human beings. As an anarchist I can't say I buy it when the praxis has been lacking the whole time. Maybe they are scared of being called anarchists and communists for opposing white people's racial purges, roundups, and lynchings over the past two decades? So terrible, better do nothing and expect power to return as an inevitability of the damage which won't be repaired.

question for other computer touching educators:
if I have a student who has a project concept that’s way out of their league in terms of required programming skillset, but the student is insistent on doing the project NOW rather than revisiting it later after some time spent skilling up, what are some strategies for assisting the student with their process (while avoiding doing the work for them) and helping them navigate the inevitable crunch-fallout toward the end of the semester?

Programmer and IT girl. Pseudo-vegan for the environment (-avocados +oysters). Very uncomfortable with astrology. Please don't call me "dude", "bro", "man", etc. Radical egalitarian anarchist, hierarchies and hate are incompatible with a free and equal life .
If you hate stoners just dni. I am also a trans woman so I *checks notes* meme about femininity and feminization sometimes. After dark account at: @thufieplus but read my bio there before sending a follow request even if we are already mutuals here. Oh and just to be clear because I think I see other white people on here trying to fake not being white under a bunch of other text, I'm just a disoriented white girl trying her best.
