“Select all images with parking meters”. How am I supposed to know what a US parking meter looks like?!
Stop using this imperialist Google CAPTCHA spyware on your websites!
@laura ye me every time
This is one good reason, but not the only reason.
Captchas are, and encourage bad behaviour!
Please stop putting #reCaptcha or #hCaptcha or any other 3rd party captcha or your webpages!
Just say no to 3rd party captchas!
@laura exactly! This blogpost (not mine) nails it https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2017/11/captchas-dont-prove-youre-human-they-prove-youre-american/
@laura
And do I choose just the squares with the actual meter or also the one with the pole etc etc....I despise these things
@Jkp @laura I have the same problem. I guess this is supposed to be "common sense".
Also for me the Captchas are mostly broken, maybe due to browser settings. Most of the time it says I made a mistake even though I answered correctly, so it forces me to go through five or so of those stupid things.
Remember when recaptcha was a reasonably good thing that was supposed to help digitise books rather than train killer robots?
@laura Honest question. If a company has a lot of spam issues on their sign up form. How do you fight that if not with some form of captcha? What is a good solution?
@exstral there’s some good resources at https://switching.software/replace/google-recaptcha/
@laura thank you!
@laura Every website should replace recaptcha with hcaptcha
@laura There is a very good essay about "Why you probably don't need recaptcha": https://nearcyan.com/you-probably-dont-need-recaptcha/
@laura stop using ANY google spyware on websites (fonts, analytics, etc...)
@laura use google images; and pray you don't need to use a captcha for that yet
@laura we need a decentralized captcha service helping to train openly available AI and NNs.
@laura wouldn't it be parking feet if it were imperialist?
