- omgwtfbyobbq 2y agoAbout five years ago, maybe more, Google started sending me captchas if I ran too many repetitive searches. I could be wrong, but it feel like most large platforms have fairly sophisticated anti-bot/scraping stuff in place.
- SubiculumCode 2y agoGoogle does the same to me: Don't they know, I keep modifying my searches because their results sucked so bad I had to try 30 times to find the piece of information I needed?
- clown_strike 2y agoYandex does the same.
- what 2y agoGitHub regularly blocks me for some reason. They tell me to slow down and I’m blocked for hours. I don’t get it.
- rcakebread 2y agoMake sure you are logged in. It was blocking me after just a couple searches if not logged in.
- Tepix 2y agoRemember when github disabled searches for users who aren‘t logged in? Well, they just set the threshold for searches to 0 these days so they have de-facto disabled them again, this time avoiding the shitstorm.

- michaelbuckbee 2y agoI use Vimium (Chrome extension for using keyboard control of the browser) and this happens to me as well since the behavior looks "unnatural".
- sitkack 2y agoMust suck for people with assistive software. I get blocked on CF for now damn reason.
- verve_rat 2y agoYeah, I do wonder if there are any ADA implications with that?
- TeMPOraL 2y agoI really really hope there are. Not just because of people who need these provisions, but also for everyone else, as accessibility is the last line of defense for preserving end-user interoperability. Screen readers need to see a de-bullshittified, machine-readable version of the site + this is required by law sometimes, and generally considered a nice thing to enable -> the site becomes not just screen-reader friendly, but end user automation-friendly in general. (I don't know how long this will hold, though. LLMs are already capable of becoming a screen reader without any special provisions - they can make sense of the UI the same way a sighted person can. I wouldn't trust them much now, but they'll only get better.)
- bombela 2y agoSame here. And I am also using vimium.
- wordofx 2y agoI wish people would stop using CF. It’s just making the internet worse.
- fastball 2y agoHow so?
