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?

    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).

        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.
