Now what the fresh fuck is this, then?

@jschauma That's not a phishing operation I've seen before...

@jschauma well this can fuck aaaall the way off on the rocket with eric schmidt

@jschauma I think the reason was that AI crawlers and bots currently have trouble reading QR codes. Which is weird because the whole point of QR codes is that they are machine readable ‍️

@jschauma in addition to all the other obvious problems with this, have they even considered accessibility at all?

[tom_huth@mastodon.online]

@jschauma
The simple solution?

Bye, no interest on any web content which require this.
No need to agree at all.

[lunareclipse@snug.moe]

@drahardja @jschauma oh don't worry you just need to use Chrome which now has the 4GB AI model that will maybe block a page if it thinks it's phishing and not a real Google ReCaptcha ​​

First, do some evil.

No, wait, I'm not sure that's how it went.

@jschauma what the shit is this nonsense? What website did this so I can never, ever go there?

@zetabeta

Hat-tip to the folks who make `yt-dlp`.

@401matthall @zetabeta @jschauma
Sure, but neither browser, yt-dlp nor NewPipe works for me the last couple of days.

[tattooed_mummy@beige.party]

@jschauma if that isn't a rick roll I will be sad

[401matthall@mastodon.xyz]

@leeloo

Now that's heartbreaking to hear.

@401matthall @zetabeta @jschauma
I expect yt-dlp will get an update in a couple of days that makes it work again, then NewPipe will follow a week later.

Youtube hasn't worked in my browser for a long time, and I suspect it's some setting I changed, I just haven't been able to figure out which one. But a couple of days ago, it changed from showing a black video to telling me to log in.

@jschauma as an ubuntutouchian this affects me

@jschauma There was no "I don't have a phone" button I guess?

@jschauma I was configuring some stuff on a new Bazzite installation yesterday. LibreWolf was unable to access any *overflow site. At first I was annoyed, but after half a dozen failed page loads I just started ignoring those search results. Maybe figuring out my specific situations from the Bazzite, Fedora and Arch Wikis took a bit longer, but I probably learned more too.

[c_merriweather@social.linux.pizza]

@leeloo @401matthall @zetabeta @jschauma Ah, I was having problems with NewPipe as well. I figured Google was messing around with something. However, I was able to access YT via Firefox and DuckDuckGo browsers.

@jschauma He does not have anything to do with it!
