    @inari@piefed.zip , may I ask why do you change the title so awfully it does not only not state the same as the article but misleads it?

      So it looks like the source originally used that awful title misrepresenting the article it self. In other words the source needs to be blacklisted for spreading bullshit. Dose this community have a blacklist yet?

      I know blacklisting sources is a steep slope to censorship, but at a certain point if the source feels they need to click bait people with tabloid headlines they are not worth our time.

      The URL they posted has the same title as the post here so it’s the source that changed their title after the fact.

        Thank you, but no, it does not. The URL may mean literally anything, where the “slug” may not include question marks, any punctuation, or have a partial content even:

        torvalds-ai-is-the-new-compiler-not-the-new-programmer

        What if the nonsense/sloppy slug was generated like?:

        Torvalds: AI is the new compiler, and not the new programmer?
Torvalds. AI. The new compiler is not the new programmer.

        Therefore, the URL may not express the actual title, and may also be malformed.
