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 -

i have other problems ;w; -

in Germany it increasingly is, and that's despite more people becoming poorer

I mean yeah sure I'm getting a pixel soon but only thanks to fundraising
god knows how many people are out there which aren't as fortunate as me and cannot just get a newer device
what do like the majority of people in idk Cuba or something do, they don't even got most newer devices over there -

They literally use screenshots for unlocking a Xiaomi device — A completely different manufacturer -

I already know that there is tools that can unlock this device, I've seen people use those, however they all permabricked their devices in doing so and 99,99% of these tools cost money and have DRM that only works on Windows. -
By the way, I am now officially tied to a device which is too old to support Anubis.I think the biggest statement that I want to make here is this:
Software should be efficient, and fast. We've all forgotten what it means to be on a platform that is restricted ever since our computing resources started going up, and this is where it left us.
Those less fortunate are unable to view even the simplest pages because there is software in front that simply won't run on my device.
Our software isn't quick or snappy anymore, to the point where any software which IS quick or snappy markets itself as being so. It has become a marketing feature.
Sure, all our new fancy tech is quite nice, but let's not forget that not everyone is as fortunate.
I am very glad that there's tools which work even on the cheapest or oldest devices. -

otherwise...I guesstermux+ some terminal IRC client would do??? -
By the way, I am now officially tied to a device which is too old to support Anubis.To put this into perspective, I cannot visit some static websites that have Anubis deployed, but I can:
- Chat over XMPP using Conversations or use delta.chat for Chatmail
- Hang out on Fedi using Tusky
- Listen to music using any player, or by visiting my local Copyparty instance (which works all the way back to Netscape 4.0)
- Navigate places using Comaps
But visiting websites with Anubis? Nope. Not happening.
Even if it could run, it would probably take me a minute to visit your website. -
By the way, I am now officially tied to a device which is too old to support Anubis.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. -

it uses WebAssembly or WebCryptography APIs, both of which I don't have. -
By the way, I am now officially tied to a device which is too old to support Anubis.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)
