Is there a way to just ban all these sites? Like a firefox plugin or whatever that detects this crap, and just bounces over to some place more reputable, like archive.is.
It looks like archive.is uses recaptcha so I don’t think that’s the fix you’re looking for.
Given the way Google is going I'm not sure if my next phone will be Android. I am fully aware that I am probably in the minority here. For me the trust is entirely gone.
I've kept a spare cheap android for too long and recently went with Graphene instead. I have one Google profile and only use it for Uber, work's Google Chat and maps. One bank refused to work (even with Google services) so I moved bank. I've moved most of my mobile use to self hosted (freshrss full text, password manager, calendar, tasks) with no direct internet connection. It's a bit irritating but I'm glad I starte…
My setup is similar and nearly 100% self-hosted, including email, files, AI. If something does not work on Graphene, I will do without it. I also have a Google profile, mostly for testing purposes.
archive.is just asked me for a QRcode scan, I'm so ashame of that crap (it's behind Cloudflare) , forcing website visitors to KYC? Are you guys insane!? the web is ruined if you push for this, this is millions of websites that will suddenly force KYC? What...the...f https://ibb.co/X9Q6Y84 By KYC, obviously it's because there is very few non-criminal ways to have a SIM without KYC and get a Google account for Playstor…

Stop visiting sites and using services that use reCAPTCHA. Problem solved.
With the new reCAPTCHA this is going to happen because most human visitors will actually be unable to pass the CAPTCHA. It will be interesting to see whether this makes websites ditch reCAPTCHA or whether they literally just don't care about having customers, an attitude that seems to be getting more and more common every day.
Most human visitors will never ever notice the change. reCAPTCHA is completely invisible for most human visitors because they are allowed to pass just by fingerprint.
It's not like an average user is going to have to scan a QR code every time they visit a site via web browser. If it were like this then it would be a non-issue because no sane website would adopt this system. But it isn't.

There really isn't much of an option. Apple's just as bad if not worse.
Could you justify that? Because to me it seems like Apple isn't doing anything even like this.

When companies like this exist, what is the point of relying of TPM? Looks like the future is bright for VC backed bots https://doublespeed.ai/
Why is every startup using that same Serif font now, Garamond or whatever. Is it an LLM design phenomenon? Its kinda ruining that font style for me. Also $1,500 a month for 10 "influencers" is wild. This doesn't seem that sophisticated unless they're doing something special to increase trust scores of accounts. They say they have "in house warming algorithm" which honestly doesn't inspire confidence for me. Whats fun…
The cost is the attestation keys of a real phone. Once it gets burned, the phone is useless to them.

Already happening. The official German identification app, AusweisApp, is designed exclusively for Android and Apple mobile devices
If it was developed by the government, shouldn't the source or an API be available? Surely third-party apps can be made in that case?
The amount of stuff councils and state governments gatekeep about road specs alone... Argh.

How have you managed to accomplish self-hosted email? I tried similar in 2022 and found it damn near impossible without business static IP or a cloud provider.
