It’s said in the screenshot. To get the screen reader-accessible text, you need to press a specific button (instructions are displayed before the scrambled text), and then your browser will be computing some complicated puzzle for a few seconds in order to “unscramble” the text

This puzzle is computationally expensive, so while it doesn’t fully protect against bots, it drives the cost of scraping way up. And since this scraping is done to somehow profit from it, driving the cost up is definitely a deterrent

Well, legally it’s (AFAIK) really a grey area. But morally… Especially considering that Russia was targeting Nova Poshta with the same justification for quite some time before the attacks on Wildberries started.

Camouflage nets, rifle scopes, body armor, trench candles… Just to name a few.

That is a risk that should be accepted. Still doesn’t answer my question, why shouldn’t it be done?

Let’s say hypothetically that I’m a student who has a mediocre laptop with only a single internal drive. And I need Linux for college, and I want Windows to play [insert a game with shitty DRM that’s unsupported by Proton] with friends. Why shouldn’t I install two OS’s on the same drive?

Why not? It works perfectly fine if you install windows first and Linux afterwards. I’ve done it multiple times and the problems only arose during windows updates, occasionally. If windows wasn’t such a piece of shit, what would be wrong with this configuration?

As a person diagnosed with ADHD, I sometimes do feel like the name was made up by teachers who are bad at teaching, no sarcasm…
