sure that I can disagree with, there definitely are people like that, there's billions of us after all but I'm pretty sure he was referencing Elon there, as in there's no such thing as him doing such a salute but hey, I can't even see the original post because it was flagged, like mine is now. so that's great.

I do think it’s interesting that in a conversation about nazis where Elon musk hadn’t been mentioned, that’s the first place your brain goes. You heard “Nazi” and immediately thought “Elon”. Curious.

Agent First is the name of my startup ( https://agentfirst.dev/ ), which mostly does what you described. :-)

>Agent First’s supercluster of real, well-behaved browsers bypasses or solves reCAPTCHA, Cloudflare Turnstile, hCaptcha, & other captchas Can you share how you prevent spammers from simply using this to do what they usually do, or, if not, how you will stop Cloudflare et al. from marking your browsers as bots and hammering them with captchas? Easy access to the plain web for bots is a pretty tough cat and mouse game…

Few details but glad to see the project will continue. Given how much crucial information is posted exclusively to X, having an alternative frontend is important.

They are more noscript friendly ... except for the mandatory bot check. Sad that this is what the Internet has become.

Real BOTs are more and more using whatwg cartel web engines, namely this has an end. If not all, namely the end was already reached. The ones not using them are more likely to be shadowpaid hackers by the whatwg cartel to ruin anything noscript/basic HTML (or they could be beyond idiotic hackers, unlikely). Not to mention, many "maths challenges" out there are nothing more than a 'wait loop' in the end. Namely, you c…

Reading between the lines it appears that the only argument twitter had is that they could not enforce content moderation due to the archival nature of nitter. Pretty cool to see that archival sites cannot get C&D'd that easily!

Correct me if I am wrong, but I'm pretty sure they could get away with this because nitter is not an archival software, but rather a frontend or alternative twitter proxy.
