How many reCAPTCHAs did you solve today ?

And did you suddenly feel the need to buy a motorcycle ?

Funny I have the urge for bicycles and bridges. Oh wait today. :( I had motorcycles this week tho twice!

🙂 Had some crosswalks and bikes too, but motorcycles were dominant. Maybe Google Streetview should add some more nature photos ? Trees, plants, meadows, rivers.

is there a solution to this or do we have to just put up with it forever

Yes. Proton and New York Times have rather comfortable reCAPTCHA nowadays. And Cloudflare migrated to hCAPTCHA. The problem that I came across is Google reCAPTCHA for some sites that apparently have it not configured correctly or too strict. I've been on sites where I have to solve one Google reCAPTCHA and you're through, each and every time. For certain sites (Like narkive mailing list archives) it appears to be impossible to get through as Tor browser user.

Nope, it'll just get worse and worse as LLMs start getting compact enough to get sicced on that Bot blocker. I think eventually the whole system will invert with captchas only proving you are human if you fail them.

The same session, but about 6 times. Realized the app that triggered it uses ie by default (Citrix session). So I'd been getting them right the whole time, but IE... Switched to chrome and got it first try.

too many and i've just been awake for two hours.

With these types of Captchas, I always wonder whether I need to click on e.g. square C2 that has a tiny bit of the seat padding on it.

Even worse...do I include the rider?

The rider is not a motorcycle, but it might be important to know that the rider is part of the "motorcycle shape"...

Probably 0, because no service I use needs them, and I'd rather read the TL;DR bot than click on an article, if I don't know the website.

None, why? They only show up rarely tbh unless you block the info where it saves that you solved it.

I have no idea dude I save to archive.today and ghostarchive frequently so a lot
