“Look Raymond, a yellow crested warbler”

Oh wow, so someone could literally just post a comment somewhere that says select all or drop tables and it’ll run?

Probably a over simplification, but I guess someone could easily make a script that does that thousands of times.

Thanks for all your amazing work! I know just enough about SQL to know I know next nothing, but could someone intelligent explain how databases are publicly accessible for anyone to be able to make queries?

Well, you’ve encouraged me to make a comment! And given me a great community to watch Lemmy grow!

I’m guessing they meant SEO - Search Engine Optimisation. It’s much more complex than this, but essentially finding high volume search terms and writing website content based around those terms so your page shows up higher organically.

It’s why recipe pages or simple how to guides have paragraphs semi related text that sounds like it was written by committee. The content needs to be human readable, otherwise Google flags it as spammy, but at the same time it only serves to drive up clicks based on those search terms.
