@dat @cadey it is validating you are a human to not make the website fall over completely

but that's the thing

it's not validating that I'm human

it's validating that I don't care enough about the ressources needed to open that page. And non-humans tend to stop at that point, due to massive-parallelized requests not allowing those ressources.

meanwhile humans tend to not even notice, because we're just opening "that one page".

as I said… it's burning my ressources so the server has spend less of it's own

@dat @cadey well, nobody is forcing you to visit a site implementing it. But good luck keeping a larger site online without any mitigations. I’m open for better solutions :)

@dat @cadey @merlin boo hoo. if you saw the amount of shit git forges had to do just to stay afloat you wouldn't be complaining about a bit of javascript running on your machine that is probably cranking away useless cycles in the background anyways
