So you call scripts like [1 [2 [3 [4 ... and remember what each one of them does? If yes - that's nuts, I'd visit a doctor.
Thank you

Anonymous middleman that could potentiallly collect browsing histories, serves CAPTCHAS, requires Javascript, maybe in crosshairs of authorities, unreliable according to some commenters (YMMV). NB. Nothing about "honeypot", just observations (cf. "accusations")
Someone recently noticed an apparent DDOS attempt on some blogger using Javascript fetch function
The site used to include a tracking pixel containing the visitor's IP address
Also used to ping mail.ru
Would need to look at the page source again to see what it contains today
It's a crowd favorite
People love it
Third party anonymous middleman that can observe what site(s) a user wants to read
Keywords: anonymous, third party
The websites with the webpages that a user seeks to read, e.g., some page on www.washingtonpost.com, are not third party websites. They are "first party" websites
Other archives are third parties but are generally not run by anonymous operators that keep shifting between different IP addresses and domain names
Other archives generally do not serve CAPTCHAs or require Javascript
Will provide examples if requested
No Anubis:
{
printf 'GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n'
printf 'Host: www.kernel.org\r\n\r\n'
}|busybox ssl_client 146.75.109.55

I use a different prefix character, e.g. "[", but I have been doing this for years
I started using a prefix because I like very short script names that are easy to type
I prefer giving scripts numbers instead of names
Something like "[number"
I use prefixes and suffixes to group related scripts together, e.g., scripts that run other scripts
I have an executable directory like ~/bin but it's not called bin. It contains 100s of short scripts
I have zero problems with the terseness of the k language, the names of the source files nor the source code they contain
I find brevity easier to work with. I wish all software was like that
I like the shell (ash not bash). I like assembly language
I have to "adjust" to verbosity, and sometimes I honestly can't, it's paralyzing to the brain, terseness feels more natural
Why not name scripts in natural language like an LLM prompt perhaps (I don't use LLMs so pardon the ignorance), with spaces and punctuation
Bash allows it
echo echo hello > "dear computer, please output the word \"hello\". thank you"
chmod +x "dear computer, please output the word \"hello\". thank you"
"dear computer, please output the word \"hello\". thank you"
But neither of those things is true. The scripts are for communicating with a computer and are intended to be used only by me
UNIX allows anyone to rename any file to whatever they want. The UNIX user is free to pursue their own preferences in naming, whatever those may be
Funny to see disabling "features" itself described as "feature"
Why not call it a "setting"
Most iPhone users do not change default settings. That's why Google pays Apple billions of dollars for a default setting that sends data about users to Google
"Lockdown Mode" is not a default setting
The phrase "sometimes overlooked" is an understatement. It's not a default setting and almost no one uses it
If it is true Lockdown Mode makes iPhones "harder to hack", as the journalist contends, then it is also true that Apple's default settings make iPhones "easier to hack"
