Not really. Anything you do would also likely be something their targets (AI scrapers) could be made to do. I also think this is a lead-in for Cloudflare to charge money for the privilege of being proven human to avoid their Turnstile platform. Create the problem and then charge for the solution...

Oh, I assumed this meant checking balance on a web site. Which should absolutely be free.

The voters put legislators in office that crafted this repeal. The governor didn't just unilaterally do it.

Getting charged to check the balance seems...not legal? I dunno, probably not. Some politician that also owns a payday lending company would probably ensure that's legal.

If only they had any consequences for blatantly lying to the public. Nope, not even a slap on th wrist.

It took Uber 15 years to finally be profitable. OpenAI has a long way to burn, before they give up.

My favorite part of the Harry Kim joke is that at the end of Voyager, he was a captain, but Janeway rewrote that timeline to save Seven of Nine, so she ended up doing a retcon on Harry's promotions from Ensign. Never my captain, that's for sure.

I feel like it'd be canon for him to be Naomi Wildman's first officer.

Challenge to Google Chrome

Uses Chromium as the base

So basically they are doing exactly what Google is, and what Microsoft is with Edge.

I don't understand why cell phones don't authenticate the towers they connect to. Is this really just a "standards lag behind modern security" thing, or is it on purpose to allow these Stingray devices to be used?

Wow, I fell for this one

Israel just doing totally normal violations of the Geneva Conventions, every day. No big deal.

Also, TIL the Red Cross is technically supposed to be the enforcer of these conventions.

I think this community is appropriate for this topic, since this solution is being rolled out to combat AI scraping of websites.

I don't really understand why the collective agreement is "it is better than captchas would be", when you didn't need to pass a captcha just to view a website in the first place. Why are people not more pissed off about every website suddenly requiring this laggy, sometimes actually a captcha anyways (checkbox to prove you are human) solution slowing down visits to websites?

And why can't CloudFlare offer some way for us lowly non-AI's to prove we're human, once, for our entire web experience, versus on. every. damned. website. one. at. a. time?

I counted, and I hit this turnstile solution on 28 website visits today, and sometimes more than once on the same site. That's minutes of my life I don't get back, and likely hours to days over the course of a year.

There has to be a better way...

For me, it's a light grey color and the text is white, even when CarPlay is set to always use dark mode. This is hard for me to read, but I can't find any way to change this. I'd rather just have an actual dark background when in dark mode.

For folks using multiple accounts, it feels a bit buried to go from content in one to the other. It would be nice if the number of taps to go between different accounts was reduced by a few.

I don’t know if this is the app, instance issues, or both, but I’ve found this feature to not work well

I think it would be cool to be able to swipe left/right when viewing an image post from the feed or in a community and be able to go from post to post like a slideshow.

Reproduced in latest release today. When I swipe left on a comment in Inbox to reply to it, it just hides it. If I go to the All view and re-swipe left, it'll open the reply dialog. So it appears to only be a bug if you have the view set to Unread.

Build 72 seems to be the nail in the coffin for font scaling. All text is tiny now. It's there any plan to support accessibility?

Some communities will have a deluge of posts, which tend to astroturf the main feed. I loved the feature in Apollo that let us mark a sub as a favorite to make it easy to get to, without subscribing to it and having it hit the main feed.

Can we get the option to put the voting buttons on the left? Also, view on ipad is truncating the titles when there is plenty of room.

When the app launches fresh, it seems to default to All instead of what I had before (Subscribed).

EDIT: I just found the setting for this. I don't recall seeing it before, but happy it's there!

In dark mode, when viewing the voting buttons, could we get higher-contrast coloring when a post is voted on? The upvote coloring is nearly impossible for me to distinguish from the default un-voted color (light blue vs. grey). I'm using the darkly theme, but darkly red has the same challenge. Using browser extensions to override this is only an option for desktop-only usage.

Sincerely, a visually-challenged Reddit refugee.
