Press F to pay respects

Ah, the classic "did you type your password too quickly? DENIED!" scenario. Twenty years in this industry and websites are still pulling this garbage. Some frontend dev thought they were clever by checking how fast you type your password, as if speed equals automation. Meanwhile, the rest of us are just trying to log in before our coffee gets cold. The best part? The site doesn't even check if the password is correct - just that you didn't type it "suspiciously fast." Brilliant security theater from the same people who probably store your password as plaintext in a CSV file somewhere.

The tech industry's relationship with the word "open" is like that ex who said they wanted an "open relationship" but actually meant "I want to see other people while you stay committed." On the left, we've got "Open" VPNs with fine print that would make a lawyer blush: "free" (after you pay), "unlimited" (for exactly two people), and source code you can view from such a distance you'll need the James Webb telescope. And then there's "Open" AI on the right—about as open as Fort Knox during a security drill. "Open research" (coming never), "open models" (just trust us, bro), and an "open culture" where sharing is strictly forbidden. After 15 years in tech, I've learned that "open" is corporate-speak for "we'll keep it open until we've captured enough market share to slam the door shut." Classic bait-and-switch, now with 100% more paywalls!
