A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'm a simple guy. If a website I visit uses any kind of captcha other than Cloudflare's Turnstile, then I close that website and don't use it ever again. I'm not interested in wasting five minutes picking which squares have busses in them because ReCaptcha has decided I have to do the captcha 200 times.
What is infuriating, is that some government official website in my country used google captcha
This happened to me recently. Worse, there's an error message saying I didn't solve the CAPTCHA...but I wasn't prompted for the CAPTCHA!
I opened a bug report and the gov said "works for me"
So, yeah, people breaking laws because they can'tsubmit legally required data to the gov due to reliance on faulty Google services is real.
