Hot Take:

It’s like the Wild West out there in the Python Package Index (PyPI), folks! Instead of bandits robbing trains, we’ve got malicious code playing dress-up as innocent packages, ready to mosey into your digital wallets and rustle up some cryptocurrency. It’s the modern-day equivalent of a stick-up, except instead of a gun, these bandits use a keyboard, and instead of a mask, they hide behind seemingly legit package names. So, giddy up and secure those mnemonic phrases before your crypto rides off into the sunset!

Okay, deep breath, let's get this over with. In the grand act of digital self-sabotage, we've littered this site with cookies. Yep, we did that. Why? So your highness can have a 'premium' experience or whatever. These traitorous cookies hide in your browser, eagerly waiting to welcome you back like a guilty dog that's just chewed your favorite shoe. And, if that's not enough, they also tattle on which parts of our sad little corner of the web you obsess over. Feels dirty, doesn't it?
