    For starters, it’s open source. And I’m not too into the details, but the creator of Anubis even mentioned that they were interested in creating a non-javascript version for privacy.

    Google’s reCaptcha, to which Anubis is being compared to by OP, is obviously far less private. It’s just another mechanism of control and data harvesting for Google. One of the ways that they determine if you’re malicious/human or not is to check if you have a Google cookie in your browser and are signed in. Not to mention fingerprinting (hardware and software info), browsing data, AI training ironically enough (the fucking streetlights), etc etc.

    Anubis is relevant here because it is more private, among other things.




  • The less people spoof and the more people use Firefox + Linux, the less of a need there will be to spoof at all.

    I just won’t use websites that won’t work with a Firefox + Linux user agent in the same way I won’t use a website that blocks ublock. I’m just not going to give Chrome or Windows a stat boost, even with Librewolf where I unspoofed the UA.

    With Linux usage at an all time high, I’m itching for the year of the Linux desktop.





  • I spent too much time with corpo brain rot to give linux a chance on desktop and realize it’s how I’d always imagined proper computing would be. It changed my outlook on the world when I finally did and it’s liberating (much libre. Very wow). Glad to see more and more people catching on to the possibility of a better future.
