I tend to agree. I think there’s little need as a developer to go that extra mile for accurate browser detection without UA unless it’s for fingerprinting. Most feature sets are supported and where it isn’t you have a polyfil or whatever shim to make it work. So in the case of fingerprinting you try not to rely fully on anything the user can alter easily.

Browser detection is rarely done through User Agent lookup anymore. Nowadays we determine browser through feature detection.
I don’t think the average person understands how advanced bots have become at bypassing captchas now. Users will see this and be upset, and understandably so, but I’m telling you there is a big problem right now and devs are having trouble keeping up.
Say no more, I’m sold
4·1 year agoWouldn’t it make a difference in cases where the nameserver and host are not the same entity?
132·1 year agoLemmy.world is NOT defederated from lemmy.ml. the above user is completely wrong.
This is easily verifiable by going to https://lemmy.world/instances and scroll to the bottom to see which ones are blocked
I love how you spent more time defending your wrongness than correcting the mistake. Like is it that hard to hit the edit button

Fair point, I agree there should be such a check. It seems for now that the only ones affected were people who tried to intentionally mess with it. It will be a hard goal to reach completely because what’s ok and healthy for some could also be a deathly allergic reaction for others. There’s always going to have to be some personal accountability for the person preparing a meal to understand what they’re making is safe.
That’s a bit dramatic of a take. The AI makes recipe suggestions based on ingredients the user inputs. These users inputted things like bleach and glue, and other non-food items, to intentionally generate non-food recipes.
17·1 year agoThe user is correct. That’s how Lemmy works currently
Mitch, get off Lemmy and go see a doctor JFC
Lemmy also has this and everyone’s point totals are visible from the API. If you’re not seeing it, that’s because your client is hiding it, not because it doesn’t exist.
Y’all act like that can’t happen on Lemmy. The total score is already visible via API. Nothing’s stopping a community from running a bot that auto removes anyone below a threshold. It’s entirely possible right now to write that code.
