Fun, I can't get to it because I can't get past the "Making sure you're not a bot!" page. It's just stuck at "calculating...". I understand the desire to slow down AI bots, but . If all the gnome apps are now behind this, they just completely shut down a small-time contributor. I love to play with Gnome apps and help out with things here and there, but I'm not going to fight with this damn thing to do so.

My understanding is that is they don't really care if the AI bots got the data on gitlab, but the problem is that the bots are very aggressive and have been slowing down the gitlab instance too much. I definitely agree it isn't great, but I don't know what a better option would be. Also once it passes the page once it should save a cookie and you'll be good to go for a while.
