@ebassi @Seirdy Mandating Javascript on a site is an undue trust requirement.

Even with a Free license there is no guarantee it is benign and no particular reason to risk it.

That way it makes sense.

- Anubis requires JS
- JS is a security risk for a lot of reasons

FSF post was looking more like throwing every plausible and made up reason together to justify hating on that particular piece of software...

@untsuki @ebassi @lispi314 yeah “we would be pressuring users into running malware” was like. wow.

i agree that forcing JS is a really awful solution but unless there’s a Web standard for remote-JS-free anti-LLM measures with comparable efficacy, I don’t see any good alternatives.

we don't need standards for this, we need common sense.

there's no compelling reason to put compute-heavy repository views bare-assed on the internet.

require login for compute-heavy views. ban accounts that abuse access. mercilessly rate-limit unauthenticated access. problem solved forever

@khm @Seirdy @ebassi @lispi314 @untsuki Requiring an account to access this site is I think even more limiting to users than running something like Anubis.
