In South Africa, we’re vaguely aware of the n-word and its meaning in American culture, but the k-word (after which this plant was named) is highly offensive.

It is theoretically automatable, but on bare metal it requires having hardware that’s not normally just sitting in every data centre, so it would still require someone to go and plug something into each machine.

On VMs it’s more feasible, but on those VMs most people are probably just mounting the disk images and deleting the bad file to begin with.

Pretty amazing that years of effort from massive competitors like Epic and Microsoft haven’t managed to crack this. I wonder what they’re doing wrong?

(Ok I lied. I know exactly what they’re doing wrong and there’s zero chance of them changing.)

Quick plug for WebCompat. It’s always worth reporting issues to them.
