Anubis has become so common across the internet that I basically never notice it lol
The world is dominated by people like this Karen. Making society so fucking dry, boring, and lifeless. The same sort of people who invented corpospeak.
I hate that society is largely driven by people who think that whimsy must die with your childhood
The greybeards somehow dodged gamergate modders and found blahaj members to pass the torch to, I respect that.
Fun fact: It's based directly on the implementation seen in "DDOS Retarding by Kiwi Farms" which wasn't absolutely the original idea for cryptographic ddos filtering but the first to popularize and seriously rely on it live service.
Also I think it might be a wolf girl because it's called "Anubis" but I dunno. Anyway, I think it would be a lot funnier if everyone called it "DDOS retarding" but that's just me.
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.

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
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.
The HT in HTTP stands for HyperText, not HyperCode.
First of all, itβs a jackal girl.
Second, we wouldnβt need Anubis if it wasnβt for the hoard of scraping bots trying to copy every line of source code they can, to feed into LLM to be ground up and spat out as an attributionless mass of Frankenstein code.
Would they rather it be a soulless corporate logo? A flat two tone rounded corner letter on a square?
yep. this is like somebody putting a giant retro reflective wall in front of their house because the person across from them idles their vehicle with blinding LED headlights every morning for 10 minutes pointed straight in the living room
I am convinced they are complaining in the name of big LLM.
Tbf, a place as serious as that could indeed use a different logo. Anubis absolutely allows for that, the catgirl is just the default.
But then, obviously some find this janky nature of OSS beautiful in its own right
Nuh uh

Look, FOSS comes in two flavors.
Either all the contributor profile pics are flash lit smiling photos of middle aged bearded guys with glasses standing in an office, or they're anime girls.
or creatures :3
Oh- well i guess i am not a developer anymore now XD
I constantly get reminded that Gonzo, even in business attire, is not an acceptable professional avatar to upload to the companys Windows profile. I'm also a contractor so I dgaf.
I've gone for the corpo middle ground and my company picture is the Japanese business blahaj in a suit. I've been told, "I don't even look for your name I just look for the shark, it stands out more"

Something exists.
People complain about it.
Who the hell is this pissed off at a cat girl
The kind of whimsiless corpo half-person who seems embarrassed to know that anime is a thing, and can't mention it without assuring his audience that he doesn't watch that stuff
