    Ah yes, my very real human ability of scanning QR codes. Truly an inherent characteristic of humanity.

    I don’t have a smartphone and I keep running into more and more of these QR codes. If I, as a citizen, am required to get a smartphone for these QR codes, to do citizen-like things, then it should be a utility and prices for hardware and services should come way down.

    archive.is has always been really problematic about having overly-aggressive google spyware captchas. half of the time i try to follow one of those links the captcha just outright rejects me because of “suspicious activity” before i can even start

    very cool to see that it’s somehow gotten infinitely worse

      Ugh, yeah. Cloudflare too. I hate it. It’s like 2/3 of sites I try,

      Blah blah needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding.

      Then it goes to an enedless reload loop. Or gets stuck.

      I went to a site last week that belonged to a human rights organization. It’s a ranking of countries by different aspects like economic freedom or w/e, and some articles about their methodolgy. Couldn’t load it due to fucking Cloudflare. Cloudflare does not deem me worthy to read about human rights.

      Why? Because I try to protect my right to privacy. The irony.
