Freedesktop's website is blocked to "protect against AI companies"

In case it's fixed later, this is what the website currently says (also links to the article https://thelibre.news/foss-infrastructure-is-under-attack-by...):

Oh no! Forbidden Error: access denied: denied by administrative rule b7050bdf35a65cce29f930db7f36fe80/0e8b4aae7b07d2b89401 Why am I seeing this?

You are seeing this because the administrator of this website has set up go-away to protect the server against the scourge of AI companies aggressively scraping websites.

Mass scraping can and does cause downtime for the websites, which makes their resources inaccessible for everyone.

Please note that some challenges requires the use of modern JavaScript features and some plugins may disable these. Disable such plugins for this domain (for example, JShelter) if you encounter any issues.
