Purely anecdotal, but I play World of Warcraft and I clocked significantly less bots farming herbs/ore around. On a more serious note, Ukraine has accomplished many things, but if they can bring down Russian propaganda bots it might be the biggest gift to the world yet.

Much like most anecdotes, it’s not really based in reality. 👍
The Ukrainians are not just gritty and resilient, inventive and brave, they sure know how to make fun at the same time. What a country!
just noticed my Xcancel is b0rken
That’s due to a lawsuit Twitter brought against them. Nothing to do with Ukranian attacks.
just a C&D, no suit has been filed

Overblown verification process (Anubis). JS required. Not recommendable.I kinda figured Anubis was one of the better verification processes? Seems preferable to Cloudflare anyway?
Both Anubis and Cloudflare require js and cookies to operate. So from privacy first perspective they are on same level:
Sadly, you must enable JavaScript to get past this challenge. This is required because AI companies have changed the social contract around how website hosting works. A no-JS solution is a work-in-progress.
Missing feature Cookies Your browser doesn’t store cookies. Anubis uses cookies to determine which clients have passed challenges by storing a signed token in a cookie.

So THAT’S what it means to put your data in the cloud - vaporise it!
