I just saw this and felt I should share it. I'm sure most people here wouldn't fall for it but it can't hurt to make sure 👍

Edit: I just wanted to add, I have no idea what this tried to copy. I'm using Firefox on Linux which is perhaps why it didn't make it to my clipboard 🤷

Legit question- who is this for? I can't imagine anyone getting to PC Master Race on Lemmy that would fall for something this obvious.

I pressed ctrl+r on my laptop and the screen got a bit dimmer, had to press esc to make it go away. What to do to pass the verification?

PS: I am a human, not a robot.
