So here's a weird thing that keeps happening:
1. botlicker shows up to open source project and pushes some slop

@glyph@mastodon.social 1. Wannabe is trying to bluff their way past the bouncer without paying by projecting confidence and pretending to be important. 2. "Don't you know who I am?" "No I do not.

Nothing new under the sun.
