[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Potentially bad keyword in body (1): wp-config debug 'false' or 'true'‭ by peegeebee‭ on wordpress.SE
@metasmoke The answer to this one may be from a (newish) spammer. They seem to link a lot of their answers to the same(ish) blogs/repos.
@AdrianMole they seem legit, at least from a gpt standpoint. they're going back and significantly revising the code in their answers stackoverflow.com/posts/79331450/revisions
@ipodtouch0218 I added the canned "spam warning" comment in this answer but they link their repos in 3/4 answers.

@CPlus I still think that is promotion for that library
[ SmokeDetector | MS ] Mostly non-latin answer, blacklisted user (126): Cannot solve this naive exponential equation with base coefficient > 1‭ by saeid‭ on mathematica.SE
Only spam if unsolicited OR undisclosed affiliation. If that library accomplishes a task asked about in the question AND (the user is not affiliated OR the user disclosed their affiliation) THEN not spam.
@Cow Therefore I do not believe that answer is necessarily spam.
@CPlus seconded; the domain does have one previous fp entry in MS

all right
Karabiner is quite commonly used, in fact that domain could be whitelisted.

ah so it's statistics on the letter frequencies
