I know its supposedly a reference to a meme but I can't get over the fact the Doge was the oligarchical leader of Venice.

I don’t think “used curl to post content to an open endpoint” counts as hacking tbh
- It is by definition hacking.
  Stupid doesn't negate unwanted nor illegal. I may be dumb and leave my door unlocked but you're still a criminal if you come in without permission and move stuff about.
  
  Nah, hacking legally requires you to gain access to a system that you're not authorized to touch.
  Using a public API endpoint is not hacking.
  
  It is more like someone immature sitting on the entrance outside the door and doing graffiti on the floor. Surely unwanted and definitely criminal, but inconsequential.
