I will say they have made it increasingly difficult to do that.
Behind VPN? "Log in to confirm you're not a bot."
Someone says the f-word or talks about a no-no topic? (oh no!) "Age restricted video, log in to prove your age."
I find the second one especially hilarious, given that I see borderline porn in the shorts section when I'm not logged in with no browser data for it to drum content up from, and that same screen displays to kids when they pull up YouTube.
"For the children" is always a lie, but it's so funny when it's that obvious.
All that said, I don't quite trust it for some reason, but I've been sandboxing FreeTube and using that, seems to work well generally.

Disable it then.
> Someone says the f-word or talks about a no-no topic? (oh no!) "Age restricted video, log in to prove your age."
Saying fuck is not enough to make it age restricted, and logging in isn't enough to verify your age because they require either a face scan or credit card.
> Off topic: blog posts, sign-up pages, newsletters, lists, and other reading material. Those can't be tried out, so can't be Show HNs. Make a regular submission instead.
> If your work isn't ready for users to try out, please don't do a Show HN. Once it's ready, come back and do it then. Don't post landing pages or fundraisers.
This is a blog post and going to the homepage I only see a waitlist.
It also makes claims about transparency, open-source, self-hosting but the Github repo has no code, there's only a LICENSE and README... so I can't do any of that.
Fair point — I should have submitted this as a regular post rather than Show HN since there's nothing to try yet. The product is pre-development; I'm validating demand before writing code. The repo and AGPLv3 license are there to signal intent, not to mislead. I'll come back with a proper Show HN once there's something to demo.

I wanted something like this too but I modified Flameshot so I don't need a bash script in-between.
Flameshot already has a feature to upload to Imgur so I modified that and also added some small things (like randomized file names, some new config options).

Didn't they remove it though? Because someone complained about "privacy" or something? Devs promised to bring it back as the plugin, but I wasn't following progress on it, I don't know if that happened yet.
> I use 1password extensively on my phone and the process of loading and unlocking involves multiple superfluous animations for a task I'm trying to do quickly.
I do too. The animations take barely any time, unlocking the actual vault is what takes time.
They can make great phones and still be spying on the user and everyone near them.
They wouldn't be good for intel gathering (either deliberate or incidental, c.f. FitBit or whatever leaking some US military info because of all the soldiers tracking themselves) if they weren't also just straight up good products.
This lack of exclusivity between "quality" and "spying" is also why I found it hard to trust US products even before Trump 2.
I guess it comes down to "does the government that is spying on me, want me to succeed in general or fail in general?"
As a British citizen living in Berlin, running US software on Chinese hardware (iPhone? Made in China; Kindle? Made in China; MacBook Pro? Made in China; random torches? Made in China; PV? Made in China), it's kinda hard for me to guess who is doing what spying and what they care about with that spying.
Bending Spoons acquired Harvest so I can't say I'm surprised. Someone on Reddit went from $170 to $2,162.50/month.
Also what's the reason for making all the links into buttons but then styling them as regular links? It's quite annoying not being able to middle click or right click any of them.
All the blog posts on my site use a markdown renderer I built so I thought I'd try using buttons for the links since they are themed nicely with the rest of the library. I'll add the ability to right/middle click on buttons with hrefs so they work like proper anchor tags.
I think it could be worth trying to block them with TLS fingerprinting, or since they think it's residential proxies they are being hammered by, https://spur.us could be worth a try.
My personal preference is to first make a small amount of effort finding something unique to the bots that can more often than not be dropped with a simple firewall rule or load balancer ACL. The botters almost always miss something.
How are these "scams & fraud"?

Same with https://travelsafetydata.com/country/NO
It lists child protection laws as "scams & fraud"
