“Look, Laura Loomer is not affiliated with the Trump campaign. She said something about curry in the White House that I first read about this morning actually, because I knew that you would ask me about it...” [emphasis my own]
These guys are terrible liars. Between him and Trump, they sound like they have no idea what is going on.
This is correct. I work in bot detections. There are baseline checks for various browser automation used as bot frameworks like Puppeteer or Playwright. Then there is basic analysis of server side and client side fingerprints; meaning, do the fingerprints you claim make sense. There are other heuristics too and I imagine Cloudflare is monitoring movements that point to automation. All of this happens after you click. I personally prefer this over Google's captcha which frequently doesn't recognize me as a human but is easily bypassed by bots.
You can't blame kids for trying to get away from camps if they're abusive.
For anyone not aware of what goes on in some of these camps, give this a read: https://elan.school/
Trigger warning.
Okey-dokey! Okey-dokey!
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.
Police in The Netherlands: "We will have some fun while solving this crime. We may even put some sprinkles on the bread if the bird is good."
Police in America: "The bird looked like it was going to shoot us so we shot it first. And everyone in the bank too just to be safe. Why don't you respect us?"
It's like if Cards Against Humanity made inspirational posters.
Thank you for being a kind person.
