    I've been using double hyphens (which auto-corrects to emdash now) for as long as I can remember. Now that it's a marker of AI, I find myself removing it whenever I reply to commen…

    I have my phone set to silence Unknown callers. What did you have setup on the Pixel before to block them?

    There's ways that prevent it - - Freeze all code after an update through permissions - Don't make most directories writeable - Don't allow file uploads, or limit file uploads to me…

    Hey Pete -- Love the article - you may want to lock down your API endpoint for chat. Maybe a CAPTCHA? I was able to use it to prompt whatever I want. Having an open API endpoint to…
