Does anyone else command + w on first sight of a cloudflare screen?

I'll tolerate that but that new QR recaptcha that wants a selfie is 'hell fucking no' from me 100% of the time.

There are captchas that demand selfies now? I have never heard of that before and it sounds completely crazy.

I sure hope humans are in the loop at those companies, reviewing pics that aren't recognized as faces. If I ever see one of those captchas, they'll get to see some things that no human has ever, or should ever, see.

Nah, I just have my clanker deal with it. It's better at those stupid puzzles than I am.

Cloudflare doesn't do puzzles. It either says you're a bot or you're not a bot.

Love when something decides I'm a bot and the decision is final. (Looking at you, CPU-World -- it even lets me know my IP address has been banned for "abuse", too.)

Right. Because IP addresses uniquely identify people. /eyeroll

Even if I were behind CGNAT (which I'm not), you don't see that message if you're already blocked. They won't even serve you the signup page then.
