I agree and I wish I was actually that cool. I just look at data all day and write rules. 🫠

I'm consistently proud of Lemmy because of comments like this. It might sound weird, but clearly pizza is great in a multitude of ways. Not everything needs an edgelord's hot take.

I'm a blade runner. 😁

I don't think it's a bad idea but it's largely dependent on the crawler. I can't speak for AI based crawlers, but typical scraping targets specific elements on a page or grabbing the whole page and parsing it for what you're looking for. In both instances, your content is already scrapped and added to the pile. Overall, I have to wonder how long "poisoning the water well" is going to work. You can take me with a grain of salt, though; I work on detecting bots for a living.

You can't blame kids for trying to get away from camps if they're abusive.

Trigger warning.

Okey-dokey! Okey-dokey!

Not OP but I will take a shot at answering this.

One, fragrance isn't really regulated. There are a lot of unknowns when it comes to exposure to synthetic musks and other synthetics. Studies have found certain musks in tissue and breast milk. They could be linked to issues within the endocrine system. As others have pointed out, these detergents that use high amounts of fragrance can cause skin and respiratory issues.

Two, and I say this as someone that really enjoys the sense of smell, musk is over used. Post WWII every cleaning product began using musk as the main fragrance. Since then, it has become synonymous with clean clothes. Galaxaloid, the main synthetic musk used these days, is in everything including our environment. I remember reading about it being an issue in the Great Lakes.

Lastly, I just find musks to be nauseating. 🤷‍♂️

Apparently we're running out of sand. That's going to make the transition to glass harder. I'm not saying I don't agree because I would definitely prefer glass than plastic.

I for one want to offer a heartfelt apology. As someone that works in this space, bots are becoming more and more sophisticated. I can't speak for Cloudflare, but we're definitely not interested in your personal information. As someone who also prefers their privacy on the web, the fact that bot signatures overlap with privacy-centric signatures sucks. I myself have experienced it on my mobile device with Ghostery. It's frustrating, I know.

Would you mind sharing the guide you used for hardening your Firefox? I'm curious to see what could potentially be triggering the issue.

Also, I just want to say, I think it's hilarious that a site blocked you but then allows you to continue browsing after changing your user agent. That right there is bot behavior.

To circle back around to the actual block, I bet changing your skin executes JavaScript which flags something from the anti-bot software.
