Marketing works wonders on people. My devices are doing a lot of work when Anubis presents, to produce what you claim is not a proof-of-work, that is for some reason a barrier to entry. “Firewall” vaguely refers to perimeter security -- not even web-specific. If you think my browser is just waiting around for for an open slot, this does not explain the time lapse consistency. Please explain why “Calculating...Difficulty: 6,…Speed: …kH/s” is presented, if this is not a proof-of-work. Looks like kilohashes to me.

So you do something that makes you look like an attacker

Choosing to run Ungoogled Chromium is an act of self-defense. It’s also a personal choice for several reasons that are apparently beyond your comprehension. I will not apologize for that. Fuck anyone who advocates for conformity and playing the boot-licking pushover.

The idea that it’s necessary to force everyone to conform to a behaviour or particular software chain is driven by incompetence. “we’ll just arrest everyone in ski-masks. Fuck the people who are skiing. They should not have chosen the same clothes as the bank robbers.”

and then get mad when your seen as an attacker.

Collective punishment at the expense of human rights is not justified. But to understand that, you first must appreciate the human right to autonomy and privacy.

Your own post calla the developer incompetent. How can you judge that?

If you cannot understand the purpose of proof of work, I am not going to write an essay here so you can understand what that means, or how it differs the crude technique of discriminating on appearance and reputation factors. The whole point of proof of work in this context is to yield an appraisel that’s smarter, more accurate than a sloppy reputation judgement.

Because you did everything an attacker would, and then blamed everyone else.

“because you wore a red shirt as you entered the shop just like yesterday’s shoplifter, you should expect to get kicked out -- and stop blaming others. Wear a beige-colored shirt like everyone else FFS!”
