What are the last two here?
How do you best enforce your copyright as a small developer against #GPLviolations from a large company?
If you knew of a #GPL violation which the copyright owner felt unable to enforce, when would it be appropriate to try to stir up public fury to shame the company into doing the right thing?

"apps"?! *scoffs in sysadmin*
If you want to change some system settings, use `sudo cat /etc/{you use tab completion until you find what you wanted to change}`, then `sed -i 's/{line you want to change}/{what you want to change it to}/g' {filename}`
You see, the unix philosophy is focused on simplicity and versatility...

This one's even better: to rip a CD, you just type in `abcde`... because like the alphabet... and /dev/cdrom ... c and d are next to eachother.
To be fair it would be pretty stupid if they called the binary "settings". There isn't just one desktop on Linux and if everyone started calling their settings app that, we'd have packages clashing with each other left and right.
Also "gnome-control-center" still beats "open -b com.apple.systempreferences" on macOS and... uhm, I'm not even sure if you can do that on Windows 😂

Here's one (simple, though closed source) example, which relies on a small dataset:

But to answer the question, I don't think there's likely to be a good one. It'll either rely on large (not publically available) datasets, or a large enough userbase to generate that data, else it'll be easily reversable (and worthless for 'Telling Computers and Humans Apart').
To solve this problem, you need to think of something which is a one-way operation for computers, but humans can decode.

I've heard it said that you can just use a honeypot technique so spambots get trapped doing something that won't tax your server.
(For me, my private services (on the public internet) have never been found by spambots.)
Of course, CSRF tokens and request rate-limiting should be used almost always, which can solve some of the same problems.

Most markdown to html convertors automatically turn straight quotes into curly quotes.
The text editor atom (annoyingly) by default removes trailing blank lines (and trailing line spaces) on save.

#QRCodes : le logiciel libre de dessin vectoriel #Inkscape est lui aussi capable de les générer.
Intéressant si le QRCode est destiné à être intégré dans une image, un contenu à réaliser dans Inkscape.
Là aussi, pas besoin de générer en ligne puis télécharger l'image, etc.
