David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*)Web design in the early 2000s: Every 100ms of latency on page load costs visitors.
Web design in the late 2020s: Let's add a 10-second delay while Cloudflare checks that you are capable of ticking a checkbox in front of every page load.
Mark T. Tomczak@david_chisnall I like this one specifically because the Cloudflare gate is there to address the problem of "Too many visitors."
Daniel Schildt@mark @david_chisnall Instead of fixing broken code with proper logging and code performance observability, lets stop all the effort and expect Cloudflare to care about actual humans (and not just about their PaaS billing). 😓
Nick@autiomaa @mark @david_chisnall Honestly I'm kind or surprised there isn't a "pay Cloudflare for X connections without a challenge/captcha", because it would be another revenue stream for them.
@internic There is such payment model on Cloudflare for the LLM companies (giving them much faster download speeds for 3rd party content scraping), but not for regular consumers.
@autiomaa So the bots have an option to bypass the captchas meant to catch bots but the humans don't. That tracks. 😩 @mark @david_chisnall
🌈 Lascapi ⁂@internic That's not a bug, that's a feature!
I guess...
