I'm kind of a bot myself, I guess?
Garbage tech. Makes me hate the sites using it, just like Google's dumpster-juice tier captchas. Might not be so awful if they made it stick, but these tech leviathans can't manage it apparently. I click over to a site I've never been on. Cloudflare: 😲🫴🦋 is this a botnet?

Wait for it...
As someone who has cut down dead trees, what was his plan? "This way, it can fall in any direction and it'll go fine" ?! So much extra work too, and with an axe! I'm not surprised at all it finally fell the way it did.

We Finally Know Why The TSA Is Cracking Down On CLEAR At Airport Security
anti-clickbait tldr: system uses facial recognition, complete with the expected false positives, false negatives, and bias.
Key passage:
Clear’s methods determined its facial-recognition system to enroll new members was vulnerable to abuse, said people familiar with the review, who asked not to be identified discussing security-sensitive information.
The computer-generated photos of prospective customers at times captured blurry images that only showed chins and foreheads, or faces obscured by surgical masks and hoodies.
The process — which allowed Clear employees to manually verify prospective customers’ identities after its facial recognition system raised flags — created the potential for human error.
Apparently last July “a man slipped through Clear’s screening lines at Reagan National Airport near Washington, before a government scan detected ammunition — which is banned in the cabin — in his possession.” And he’d “almost managed to board a flight under a false identity.” The TSA checkpoint found the ammunition, which is what it is supposed to do. This had nothing to do with his identity. There’s no suggestion that the passenger intended to do anything nefarious.

Joining two Communities?
You can join both, sure. You'd just independently click the Subscribe button on /c/[email protected] and /c/[email protected]
Because they naturally each have different rules, cultures, members, and such; having the same community on different instances is mostly thought of as a feature, not a bug. I've seen comms be toxic on one server but thriving elsewhere. The hope is that you can organically sub wherever you want to participate or are seeing what you want to see, and weed out bad communities or ones that die out.
There's are GitHub issues around "multicommunities" for every client, but I haven't seen anything up and running. Example issue.

How can I bind the buttons on a Logitech joystick to steam games?
Can’t say for sure it’ll meet your needs and work with your Logi gear, but I use AntiMicroX to re-bind unrecognized controls.
