And if you can't figure out how to make an unsubscribe page that doesn't require a captcha (and is triggered by email scanners) you are incompetent. Claude can figure it out.
Did you mean "and is NOT triggered by email scanners"?
AFAIU, "email scanners" get more aggressive over time, so there is no once-and-forever solution. I guess AI-enabled email scanners can attempt to solve captchas as well.
Yeah, use `List-Unsubscribe`. Has the additional advantage that I don't need to find the "unsubscribe" link at the bottom of some bloaty HTML, works across languages etc.
If the email scanner of your recipient insists on clicking "unsubscribe" on their behalf without that being the desired outcome, that's not on you to prevent them from.
I mean if your unsubscribe link unsubscribes someone just because Microsoft Email Phishing for Copilot visited the link to see if it was a Virus, then you need to “get gud” as the kids say.
Email scanners don't exactly publish the methods by which you can reliably determine if a page was loaded or a link was clicked by a security scanner. If they did not appear human, then they'd be easy to trick and then not do their security job well.
In the 14 hours since that flagged post, the OP has changed _nothing_ in that repo to address the feedback people gave him, and instead decided to just resubmit his proj to HN.
"The Document Foundation" for anyone too lazy to look it up.
It has been a while since I've noticed a high-profile OSS schism; for anyone who isn't used to them, this is how communities behave. They're generally healthy as long as the stakes aren't too high. In a lighter moment, I might also call on TDF to expel any vim users too in the hope that they'll take the hint and switch to a more C-x aligned editor.
(Pun explainer: silent s, so it sounds like the cycling event. Meaning Towers of France - tour means both tower and tour[en] in French, only their grammatical gender is different)
