This is getting (Rule)diculous

Yo listen up here's a story
About a little girl that lives in a furry world
And all day and all night and everything she sees
Is just furry like her inside and outside

i think it's better then waiting for the captcha to load then pressing it and then waiting more for it to confirm

panda_abyss@lemmy.ca · 67 pts · 100d (8 replies)

Fun fact, if recaptcha experiences any error it just feeds you more captchas forever.

You’re better off refreshing after you complete one and aren’t authenticated.

unknownuserunknownlocation@kbin.earth · 38 pts · 99d (7 replies)

Another fun fact: most captchas, including recaptcha, are used to train AI. Some of the puzzle it will know the solution to (which is what it uses to verify that you're not a bot), and the rest it won't know the solution to and uses it to train AI. If you train your eye a bit you can eventually make pretty good guesses as to which part is which, and then go on to give the AI training part of the captcha wrong answers. There's something satisfying to knowingly giving the captcha a wrong answer and get the green check mark anyway, pointing a middle finger at the people who thought they could get free AI training from you.

It used to be used to train text recognition software. It was super easy to tell which word was known vs unknown. The known word just looked like normal text that was edited to be kinda "wobbly" while the unknown text looked like an actual image or scan of a page. I'd always put "ass" for the unknown word.

The current iteration of captcha isn't as straightforward in terms of identifying which is which.

unknownuserunknownlocation@kbin.earth · 10 pts · 99d (2 replies)

IIRC, there was a time when 4chan figured this out. You have three guesses as to which direction this went.

Crozekiel@lemmy.zip · 7 pts · 99d (2 replies)

I hear what you are saying, and in today's climate I probably wouldn't strongly disagree... But I would much rather there be a crowd-sourced exchange of services training AI instead of completely ripping off work done by real people without any permission.

grue@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 99d (1 reply)

But that second part is what's happening. You aren't getting any compensation for contributing to the training (and no, merely accessing the site doesn't count), and that data is kept proprietary by Google, not released to the public domain.

Apytele@sh.itjust.works · 1 pts · 98d

Yeah my biggest issues with AI are (in order)

Proprietary licensing of the models
Training on content without creator consent or compensation.

There's actually some really cool uses making things like OCR image readers that more intelligently interpret text for low vision readers and AI background removal has been really helpful extracting objects for digital art collages but either the authors should be paid or they should be 100% public domain.

It doesn't need a mascot at all, though

Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works · 28 pts · 99d (2 replies)

Relax, the cute puppygirl isn't going to give you cooties.
It's actually a really clever monetization system. You can use the software for free, as is, or you can pay a license fee to white label the software and make it look however you want. So, the reason you're having puppygirls inflicted on your poor virgin eyes is actually because the people running those websites cheaped out.

conartistpanda@lemmy.world · 16 pts · 99d

So they charge for making it look boring and corporate? Neat.

ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 98d

That's the secondary line defense. It filters out AI grifters, who then don't want to touch your project

kungen@feddit.nu · 1 pts · 99d (1 reply)

Yes it does. The internet is increasingly sterilized; it's a good thing with more "unprofessional" stuff.

The developer has a sterilized version for sale as well btw, if you don't like it.

PumaStoleMyBluff@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 99d

Buying an unbranded version for my own site would do nothing for the random sites that implement the free version.

I just network block the image in unlock.

PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de · 52 pts · 99d (6 replies)

I don't understand how people can get by with disabling JS? Like aren't 90% of modern website just straight up useless without it?

Railcar8095@lemmy.world · 59 pts · 99d

Honestly, if a site breaks and I have to click to either enable JS or close the tab, many times I just realize I didn't really care enough and close the tab.

UnixSlvt42@piefed.blahaj.zone · 29 pts · 99d

It's fine 50% of the time & when it isn't you can just whitelist a site if you care enough to use it.

Small price to pay for a quick and no nonsense Internet experience.

morto@piefed.social · 28 pts · 99d

I decided to give it a try and was surprised to see more sites working without js than I expected. Most that work do so partially, but enough to be usable. I started going without js after testing and seeing how blazing fast my devices load the pages, and how lightweight everything becomes, so I played a bit by disabling js by default and whitelisting the things that didn't.

Another benefit is having no popups, no cookie banners, no ads, nothing appearing out of nowhere in your face, no content changing place, no bullshit

Arkhive@piefed.blahaj.zone · 19 pts · 99d

It’s kind of a good natural filter for my browsing addiction lmao. Sites that work fine are probably places I will like more. Gives 2000s web vibes.

EatMyPixelDust@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 5 pts · 99d

Yes, but instead of disabling it globally you can use an extension like NoScript to only block or allow scripts from certain domains.

CubitOom@infosec.pub · 1 pts · 98d

You don't have to entirely disable JavaScript, you can just block it by default until you decide to whitelist or grant temporary access to specific sites using something like NoScript

ooooh can u uhm.... just do that in the browser? Like- probably in that weird about page, no?...

DmMacniel@feddit.org · 12 pts · 99d

yes.

in about:config, add the key "general.useragent.override" as String property. and then set your user agent to whatever your heart's desire.

that's not a furry! that's just a jackal girl

Look... Look... I don't know how this stuff works. Fur suits are above my pay grade.

Fur suit as a worker category beside blue collars, white collars, etc. Hmmm, at least better than C-suit

Pardony lack of understanding, but what exactly is the difference?

Twiglet@feddit.uk · 18 pts · 99d (3 replies)

A furry is an anthropomorphic animal/creature, that's just a cat girl.

A werewolf or Bugs Bunny would be classed as a furry, a human with animal ears and/or tail is not. (That would be classed as kemonomimi)

nialv7@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 99d

Anubis (the god) is supposed to be a jackal. (yes i looked it up)

astropenguin5@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 99d

Gotcha, makes sense!

Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de · 1 pts · 98d

the idea of Bugs Bunnies being a species of creature like werewolves is borderline horror

Holytimes@sh.itjust.works · 8 pts · 99d (1 reply)

You have 5 stages of furryness.

Stage 1 normal ass human

Stage 2 animal accessories aka playboy bunnies

Stage 3 real animal features on a normal ass humans. Aka kemonomimis thank generic fantasy cat girls. They have ears and a tail and that's it.

Stage 4 anthro characters. Basically every Disney movie ever, think zootopia.

Stage 5 normal ass fucking animals. ITS A DOG DAVE WOOF 🐕 but also it talks!

ComicalMayhem@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 98d

What about half human half animal, like centaurs? Or like human but with more animal than just ears and a tail? I've seen depictions of humans with like scaled skin or furry limbs but human bodies.

SingularEye@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 38 pts · 99d

she's doing good things

YourNetworkIsHaunted@awful.systems · 35 pts · 99d

Some may find her "cringe" but she's doing critical work in stopping the sites you use being DDOSed by AI scrapers.

demizerone@lemmy.world · 28 pts · 99d

I enabled her today and traffic dropped from 10gb per day to almost nothing. I had to because I could push anything to my forgejo instance. They crippled my site. Facebook is hoovering up the Internet.

Last I heard, the Anubis dev said they were working on a JavaScript-free way to do this. Did that not happen?

aketawi@quokk.au · 21 pts · 99d

there is a prototype based on timing when you reload the page (like, refresh this page manually 7 seconds from now and I'll let you through), but idk how far along it is
