    It sucks that you can't browse anywhere without javascript anymore. It used to be that all the open source sites, most news sites, forums running phpbb, even YouTube aside from the actual element all worked without javascript, and as a bonus there would be no ads.

    Now, you can't browse anywhere without these challenges. At least this one is noninvasive, but the Cloudflare one and the Google Recaptcha do a ton of fingerprinting to choose whether to let you in.

    USPS has a home-rolled one that requires web assembly enabled, or it silently fails with a blank page. There's no non-malicious excuse for that.

    If this is the future of web browsing, hopefully more sites use systems like Anubis. But I also hope at least static pages can be viewable as plain html.

    Yeah. I just leave pages that use this crap, but it's steadily becoming a larger and larger % of the sites I try to visit each day.

    I sadly found out when trying to track the replacement display for my phone from iFixit through the Kobo web browser.

    What's wrong with Javascript

    [–] Limonene@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

    Web browsers have a huge attack surface, and are most people's main exposure to potential exploits. Without javascript, 99% of the attack surface disappears, becuase the attacker no longer has a way to run arbitrary code.

    A lot of terminal-based browsers don't do javascript.

    If I want to scrape a page, this makes it a pain for both parties. I'm not an AI company, so I can afford the hash tax, but it's still a pain to spin up Firefox from a from cron job instead of wget. And I'm still doing it, Anubis doesn't stop small time scrapers like me who aren't running AI training, and only scrape like one page per day. So now the server has to serve the original page, plus all the Anubis stuff each time my crown job goes off.

    If running a development team is like herding cats, of course an self-organized free software team is a "clowder". Autonomy respecting catboys are also welcome.

    [–] savvywolf@pawb.social 1 points 1 month ago

    Tragic that they don't enjoy any fun in their lives.

    Its called evolution, roll with it.

    [–] Hakuso@scribe.disroot.org 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

    At least that one works, the one for Invidious keeps failing me on the bot checks.

    The greybeards somehow dodged gamergate modders and found blahaj members to pass the torch to, I respect that.

    Not cat but obviously a jackal... (seriously... was the name and the 'weighing the soul of your connection'-thing not enough?)

    Not anime...

    Not a nurse... (that's a maple leaf on the cap and since when is a magnifying glass typical medical equipment?)

    Also and much more important:

    Not the more annoying (and often failing) Cloudflare screen...

    Not another stupid CAPTCHA...

    PS: Did version 1.23.1 really change the Canadian flag with a 'CA'... I have found screenshots of versions older than that that did display the flag as do newer ones. So I'm really asking myself if that was an intentional edit to get away with the "nurse" argument.

    Please click on 3000 images of motorcycles to continue.

    3000 clicks later: please try again

    I swear Google just doesn't want me using the internet. The other day I went through 20 sets of motorcycles and buses and bicycles and fire hydrants before giving up

    [–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it -1 points 1 month ago

    I hope you'll rejoyce to know that I chuckled loudly at your comment.

    PS: Did version 1.23.1 really change the Canadian flag with a β€˜CA’

    it's probably an emoji loading failure, that's the "default" for flag when the correct image is not found (if it was a UK flag it would say GB)

    Who the hell is this pissed off at a cat girl

    [–] Shea@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (8 children)

    idk i think its pretty out of place and gets kind of obnoxious seeing specifically anime furry adjacent stuff all the time. If its your thing, its really your thing, if its not your thing its mildly annoying/occasionally weird. Theres some communities where if youre an outsider its better not to engage with the fandom but thats hard when its your job to interact with these people all day.

    ok tangent: i used to think furries are mostly innocent nice nerds, but then i found out how the vast majority are into it as a kink or some kind of nasty besti*lity cartoon fetish nasty nasty. I get reallly uncomfy around those dudes that wear the mascot head to walmart or whatever bc i feel like hes gonna jerk off about being a dog later

    edit: yeah that sums up my feelings, i feel gross like youre exposing me/involving me in your kink when i see that stuff. not in an extreme way or anything. but the nature of it being wantinf to fck dogs takes it up a notch

    [–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

    What's your basis for saying the vast majority are into it as a kink thing? Because I'm someone who used to feel uneasy about furries for much the same reason you are β€” but that was when I personally knew few, if any people who were furries.

    Over the last few years, my work has meant that I've met more furries than I can count, becoming friends with many of them, and developing a better understanding of what being a furry offers them. It's not a sex thing for the vast majority of furries I have known. This isn't just based on my experience either β€” I have an artist friend who draws furry porn for a living. Although she is not a furry herself, she exists in close proximity to the furry community so that she can network and get commissions, and she agrees that the people for whom it's a kink thing is a minority

    Furry porn is a thing the same way anime porn is a thing. Just because someone's into anime doesn't mean they're jerkin it to anime all the time

    [–] kilgore_trout@feddit.it 0 points 1 month ago

    anime furry

    It's literally a cartoon.

    pointless software that I don't know why anyone uses.

    a bot can waste cycles on nothing just as easily as I can

    [–] Don_alForno@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago

    pointless software that I don't know why anyone uses.

    Because it evidently reduces AI scraper traffic.
