Made by the same developer who made RIF, u/TalkLittle.
Disclaimer: I have 0 affiliation with the developer, I just use this app every day and am very happy with it :p

Codeberg is a non-profit organisation dedicated to build and maintain supporting infrastructure for the creation, collection, dissemination, and archiving of Free and Open Source Software.

The current title at first glance looks like a politics-related post (and I was about to ask the OP to tag their post with politics), but it's actually a malicious attack on the site (albeit allegedly by right-wing extremists but i dont feel politics are the focal point here)
Edit: @OP nothing against you of course, I know the post title is simply the same as the article :) just trying to make the title a little more straight forward

Comment on reCAPTCHA: 819 million hours of wasted human time and billions of dollars in Google profits in ~tech

I suddenly had to do an ongodly amount of manual verifications; totalling more in those months than I've EVER had to complete with the Google ones. To me it felt like if you're on Cloudflare's shitlist it's a fate that's a lot worse than maybe the 1 Google CAPTCHA I did every 2 weeks.
I have 0 clue what got me flagged btw, and there wasn't any one way to fix it that didn't involve an annoying amount of work or 7 other stack exchange/Reddit threads giving opposing advice.
Now that I'm back in their good graces (no clue how that happened either) it is a convenient and speedy method. But I'm still mad about getting flagged without being able to send feedback like 'EY I'm human and always have been check yo systems dudes'.
Edit: I should add that I've only very very rarely gotten stuck in a Google-CAPTCHA bullshit loop (where you get impossible puzzles or you're doing the picture thing more than twice in a row). I can definitely imagine that if that's a regular occurrence you'd rather take the Cloudflare wheel-of-shitlist chances.

Also, OP, may I suggest that if you find yourself feeling down because of the news etc, you try stepping away from it for a while?
During the pandemic, and then the war in Ukraine, reading the fear mongering news was such a strain on my mental health that I decided to simply... Stop... I filter out ALL politics and news. And I've found that for these past 4 years, it has had ZERO CONSEQUENCES whatsoever.
Well, except for the part where I'm generally much more relaxed and happy. If there's anything REALLY important, someone will let me know. I practice the same principle for my work/life balance in that I refuse to look at emails or messages after I'm done for the day - if there's ever an emergency, they have my phone number, they can call.

I would also add, from a practical point of view, you only need to look at the USA where they still have capital punishments in some states. If you igore morality, the amount of MONEY that it costs to put someone to death vs. a life sentence is absolutely insane, and it's also a giant strain on the legal systems resources. That makes it not even worth it from a bettering-of-society standpoint.

But now another colleague said they too had issues registering so I think it's just been overloaded.
I still don't trust it at ALL to be frank, but that's because of other reasons, not because it's a scam or something hah

Though currently I'm dealing with a program I have to 2fa for every 2 weeks per security protocol, and I got excited when I finally saw "we support TOTP now" in a news bulletin!
.... Turns out you can only have 1 authentication method and you also can't freaking delete your current method, without having to delete your entire account!!
I sent a persnickety email like you wouldn't believe*
*I mean I'm always extremely polite to Support people so it was along the lines of "and that would unfortunately be quite the inconvenience" but STILL

I've found ChatGPT to be really great at setting up this sortof small stuff to just get an idea started, and then after I can get more and more specific once I start understanding what it wrote.
Hope your kid is gonna a veritable left/right expert now! :D

Comment on Merry Christmas, people of Tildes in ~talk

And enjoy your Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday for those who don't celebrate anything this week - you're almost done having to listen to endless Christmas music!
That was a big reason why I joined the reddit exodus last year. I had a very comprehensive "I said NO. FUCKING. POLITICS." tag list in my 3rd party app.
I'm on the site sometimes for work related things, and I feel it's especially excruciating to be on Reddit now if you're not an American. I looked a few weeks ago and rhere was even posts talking about US politics related news in the freaking fully-dutch-speaking netherlands-focussed subreddits!!
Thank heavens for Tildes' filtering system.
