2 out of 10‽

4chan has captchas for posting. It’s pretty insane.
twitter loves that one, I’m glad the artists I follow are all making bluesky and misskey accounts.
So at some point I was to afraid to ask (on Reddit) but, uh… the mildly part is sarcasm right? Cuz’ fuck that shit!
Either probably, but luckily my title was not sarcasm. I indeed did not need to log in this badly and gave up when I realized it’s gonna be ten of these.
10??? That’s got a violate some kind of unpaid labor law. 
Recaptcha will keep giving you problems forever when it has an error or fails you, so that’s always fun.
HOW MANY BIKES DO YOU WANT ME TO FIND?!!!
I once went through 8 or so rounds of picking busses…
I think there’s script somewhere in internet that can bypass captcha
I use the bots to defeat the bots that defeat bots
Since I started using a privacy respecting browser and moved to GNU/Linux, my whole life is captchas.
Firefox and Linux have not really caused any more captchas than I had on windows, using a VPN on the other hand is horrible.
It may be because I have all history turned off, and I run a pihole + ublock origin.
Captchas is one of the reason why I ditched Google as my default engine because I started having nightmares about blurry low res pictures of motorcycles and busses and pedestrian crossings broken up into squares.
Has anyone else received a reCAPTCHA from Google where they intentionally pixelated the image squares you have to click?
Yes I have come across those. They want new data lol
There are some really awful captchas out there. I miss the days of just typing out some stretched and tilted numbers and letters.
OTOH there are captchas that you just need to check a box today. It boggles my mind this is not more widespread.
“No, let’s make our users play a fucking puzzle for a minute before granting them access”.
“No, let’s make our users play a fucking puzzle for a minute before granting them access”.
Of course, they want you to train their AI for them.
But checking a box only works if they can somehow determine you’re human (cookies, crawlies, i dunno). Which may work if you’re only using uBlock, but not with a hardened user.js.
Those captchas only work because you previously have correctly solved a captcha and it saved your session. It is a credential-less login.
That’s not true. Look how invisible recaptcha works.
Try using a VPN on top of that.
It makes sense that VPN users see CAPTCHAs though… By design, it’s hard to differentiate an attacker from a legitimate user, and there’s a LOT of cyberattacks that go via VPNs.
That’s also why banks and online stores don’t like VPNs. It’s hard to tell if it’s you logging in vs if it’s am attacker using the same VPN as you.
I mean properly you could say that about most any public network though. So far I haven’t had to deal with such but I wonder what the experience for those who’s ISP sticks them behind a CGN is on that front.
The difference with a public network at a coffee shop or whatever is that people usually aren’t using that network for DoS attacks.
who’s ISP sticks them behind a CGN is on that front.
Good ISPs that use CGNAT also use IPv6, and modern OSes prefer IPv6 over IPv4. There are some bad ISPs that use CGNAT and don’t support IPv6, in which case I imagine the experience for users isn’t ideal. I’ve tried using a network like that and kept getting “unusual traffic from your computer network” CAPTCHAs on Google.
Even just using a VPN makes google spam me with with captcha after captcha for each search
Honestly doesn’t seem that bad, depending on how fast it responds to input.
I’ve seen one of these and they suck. Took me three attempts before it decided that I succeeded.
Have you tried being more human?
lol a bot will definitely be better at this one day
Lots of hyped up fanboys think they already are, but we have to at least try to filter them out the best we can. The bots, too.
LOL nice!
2 out of 10, spend 6 seconds on each and its a minute just to access a potentially disappointing ai written website.
“Train our ai for us in order to login”
Get fucked.
you’re at least a decade late for that concern. why do you think chatgpt is so good at solving recaptcha?
Not all AI is ChatGPT.
…I know.
What i’m saying is that Chatgpt is good at captcha shit, likely because it was fed the data from all the captcha we’ve done.
And I know captcha is different from recaptcha, if you want to be pedantic, which you appear to…
that is what I’ve just assumed had been happening for at least a decade now.
I only ever get these things when using auto fill or remote desktop now that the input is on the phone and sends everything you typed all at once.
Most of the time it’s just the single checkbox one.
Reminds me of that pokemon episode where ash and everyone was at school lol.
A jigglypuff seen from above
That’s the one haha.
Thank God there are others who have found these stupid captchas. I thought i was being flagged as a boarderline bot when nobody knew what I was talking about and assumed something completely different.
I had the misfortune of finding one last week.
Pretty sad when I’m relieved, instead of annoyed.
Drone training.
I use an VPN and its way worse. It is actually slightly better when I switched to a dedicated IP VPN. So, it would ask for the CAPCHA once and then never again. For those wondering, I use Torguard via wireguard on my PFsense.
Maybe I’m the crazy person, but those types of captchas don’t bother me. I’ll gladly take them over doing a normal captcha on TOR while trying to log in to certain services, only to have entered the wrong password and wasted maybe 5-10 minutes of my time per attempt (usually 2 or more attempts needed).
10 captcha tests is a little ridiculous imo for any situation. I’d just leave the service if I saw that.
I think they are tougher for people with poor spatial reasoning. I don’t know what it looks like to them, but all the ones I see people complain about look just as super obvious as all the other ones to me.
You should see how bad the Walmart website can get. They have this “press and hold” thing that basically shows up every page refresh when I’m at the store checking my shopping list.
And it’s not a “press for a second”, it’s like 5-10 seconds… every. single. time.
I mean, if they don’t want me to be a customer anymore, find another way to tell me!
I wonder if it’s a mobile thing because I have the same issue on my tablet (which I completely gave up using for Walmart) but never on my PC.
