I don't see it catching on at all... I think forcing people to record themselves is asking way too much, and not everyone uses the command-line or the same application/machine for everything. Plus they acknowledge that it can be faked and that LLMs can/will get better at faking it.

Proving a request came from a human is a many-billion dollar task right now, and nobody seems close at all to coming up with a workable solution. The only thing even remotely feasible (IMO) that I've seen so far (and which still doesn't actually prove anything) is charging money for accounts. But tons of people still don't want to do that, even though it would lessen the amount of bots and make it easier to ban bad behavior if everyone needed an account to access a site. I don't like that option, but it is an option. Making payments on the web easier (and less tied to the whims of Visa et al) probably also needs to happen.

When I try to save files from the Media tab from this site, all of them fail

Doesn't explain how to use it at all. Tried clicking on the extension in the toolbar, nothing happens.

I need something that works on lazy-loading carousels and automatically grabs all the images that are linked through another lazy-loaded lightbox you have to click on for each one.

Compared to DDG-noAI: zero 3rd party requests.

No need when they're already selling your search habits from the backend.

honestly LeCun should know better than to argue with a crazy person.

it doesn't matter how right he is, musk will turn everything around and have fun while doing it.

still... 35 years? obviously there is more missing information.

Privacy measures currently being rolled out, such as end-to-end encryption, will stop tech companies from seeing any offending

Front doors also stop them from seeing things... is that next? What about clothes to conceal drugs?

That was probably me. You can check it here among other scary fingerprint stuff https://abrahamjuliot.github.io/creepjs/

The server is proprietary and last I checked you can't even turn off auto-updating or verify the binaries they push to you.

In the Ubuntu 20.04 package base, the Chromium package is indeed empty and acting, without your consent, as a backdoor by connecting your computer to the Ubuntu Store. Applications in this store cannot be patched, or pinned. You can't audit them, hold them, modify them, or even point Snap to a different store. You've as much empowerment with this as if you were using proprietary software, i.e. none. This is in effect similar to a commercial proprietary solution, but with two major differences: It runs as root, and it installs itself without asking you.
