@alexia that's a good question actually. I'm sure it would affect a lot of people from those areas then.
How long do you think mobile devices should realistically be usable for? (At least 10 years for web browser use, surely?)
@carbonatedcaffeine
honestly in my optimal dream world you'd be able to buy a device and use it for 15 years straight, only having to repair it when damaged but not outright replace it -
In other words, I encourage you to look to other solutions.
Some that I know of in no particular order:
- go-away – alternative with No-JS challenges and more customizability
- Iocaine – actively poison AI scrapers, best paired with nam shub of enki configuration
I heard mumbles that Anubis is also getting No-Javascript methods eventually, but I don't know more than that.
Anubis has No-Javascript challenges, there's some more advanced ones in the paid offering
(feel free to add to that list, I had something bookmarked but I've lost it on my old phone)@alexia@shrimp.starlightnet.work My site, as well as @enjarai's, are both under Iocaine. It's worth noting that if it's configured very aggressively, it will block Brave and Opera for pretending to be a different browser. x3
But it seems to be pretty effective (more so than Anubis, at least) and doesn't require deploying JS in the frontend. :3 -

@alexia@shrimp.starlightnet.work @enjarai Probably better than handing them the Markov pages.

@alexia@shrimp.starlightnet.work @aurakle amazing. im always happy to hear about folk helping poison the shit of of these models
i hope it will have a real effect eventually. the bubble needs to pop already -
@alexia@shrimp.starlightnet.work @aurakle o! how do you recognise them? that seems like something i should do as well

@alexia@shrimp.starlightnet.work @enjarai I have never heard of that header.

unless, againg, it breaks

@alexia@shrimp.starlightnet.work @enjarai This is... silly.

@izzy yeah I know I can just set my user-agent to like, curl, but that's a hack and doesn't solve it for all those other people which is the main thin I'm trying to critique

By the way, I am now officially tied to a device which is too old to support Anubis. Not just in the "it takes too long" sense, but also being unable to install any version of Chromium that supports the required APIs.
This is probably what a lot of people which are less fortunate than you feel like.@alexia@shrimp.starlightnet.work I stopped using Anubis because I found better alternatives, and currently there's nothing in between.
I dropped it because it drove people off and broke many things such as git -

honestly in my optimal dream world you'd be able to buy a device and use it for 15 years straight, only having to repair it when damaged but not outright replace it@alexia I think it will be feasible. Hopefully applications won't require 8GB of memory just to function in the future. That would be absurd.
My main concern is the availability of battery replacements. It would make it much easier if there was a battery size and connection standard in the future. But since all phones are different shapes and sizes that wouldn't work.
The Fairphone is probably the best in terms of what we want. But it's a lot of money and isn't available to purchase from my country. The PinePhone also uses a J7 sized battery which can still be found on ebay. But the device isn't made to last.

mind you, technically I CAN install firefox, however on hardware that has:
- 900 **mega**bytes of RAM
- 4 CPU cores clocked at ~1.3 gigahertz
- Android 7
- 32Bit SoC
it's........less than serviceable in comparison to Chromium 66. Yes, chromium 66. That's what comes shipped and I've yet to find ARM 32bit builds newer than this which install on this architecture and device.@alexia my phone has 8 cores, 2 Cortex-A73 and 6 Cortex-A53, a whole 2 GIGABYTES of ram, and still, that isn't enough to run certain apps properly
the discord emoji picker ? it OOMs the entire phone if i open it. Websites ? be it chromium or firefox, a website will take 10 seconds to actually show up, even without anubis.
with anubis, that shoots up to a minute. But! i can have modern browsers so anubis does work, it's just, really slow
which, i get it, it's the whole point, but come on.
this isn't that old of a phone, it's barely 6 years old.

@sneexy Until the Pixel 7 arrives somewhere between 18th and 23rd of this month, I am stuck with:
- Moto C Plus (32bit, armv6, Android 7, modded)
- ZTE Blade A34 (64bit, armv7?, Android 13, stock, cannot unlock)@alexia@shrimp.starlightnet.work @sneexy@booping.synth.download oh you poor poor soul who has to use a non-pixel phone for two weeks and develop empathy for others who are stuck on obsolete versions of Android with no custom ROMs... that ZTE blade has a newer version of Android than my phone yet you're whining about it?
