I’m getting really tired of “verify you’re not a bot” checks everywhere.
I understand these checks help prevent bots, but they seem to appear on so many websites now. Does anyone else find them frustrating?

No. Anubis displays captchas with no audio or text alternative. https://anubis.zehuti.com/docs/captcha
Sorry, I mean the automatic one like this one:
(Sorry for the Italian)
Oh, as long as it never displays a page that requires user interaction, it works. If you go to rblind.com directly, you’ll find I’m doing something similar. I didn’t use anubis because of some controversy about the logo, and the logo has no alt text for me to judge if I care about whatever upsets people. So I just decided not to use it.
I’il check out! Anyway, if you are curious: the anubis logo is just a cartoon of a girl with cat ears and a magnifying glass, nothing too crazy beside it looking “unprofessional”
Agreed re: the logo. And she has a maple leaf symbol on her white hat because she’s Canadian.
The creator also has a paid version where you can change the logo. The creator is a chill person.
Minor nit-picky correction: She’s a jackal, not a cat. So she’s technically more like a foxgirl, instead of a catgirl.
Because Anubis is the jackal-headed Egyptian god that weighs your guilt at the end of your life. And if your guilt weighs less than a feather, you’re allowed to enter the Egyptian equivalent of heaven.
The reference being that the service is “weighing” the users, and only allowing the guilt-free ones (humans) to access heaven (the site).
Ah, good to know. Based on the level of fury from the people complaining, I’d assumed it was pornographic.
She’s in a grey hoodie and red/pink skirt (image ends above her knees, so you don’t see much of the skirt). She would look at home in a children’s animated series. “Unprofessional”, but not scandalous.
Thanks! I’m happy with what I hacked up for our Lemmy, but if it ever stops working I’ll probably move. Although, using something that’s not the number one most popular solution might actually be an advantage, I guess.
