What about clicking a checkbox means I'm human? How does Cloudflare determine I'm human from that? in c/[email protected]

I've recently noticed the same thing with cloudflare and Google captchas while using a VPN. I just use Bing instead while on the VPN because I never get past the Google captchas, or at least I give up after 2 or 3.

It also seems like the resolution of the browser has some impact with cloudflare. If I open a browser window in the corner of the screen, I'm basically guaranteed to get more cloudflare captchas, but if I open it full screen I only get one, maybe two.

Interesting, I recall recently reading that marijuana use is worse for heart attacks.

And another study (can't find it at the moment) that claimed that there is a noticable increase in your risk of having a heart attack while smoking.

Spotify quietly limits Release Radar playlist to 30 tracks from 200, tries to convince users that's how it always was in c/[email protected]

Release radar has always been 30 for me. I use the web client and don't have premium though. The web client randomly seems to lack features that the desktop client has so maybe this was one of them?
