In response to the popular “checking you’re not a robot” pop-up, I implemented a “checking you’re not a douchebag corporation” pop-up and now I can’t log in to anything.

@aral I'm more and more convinced that I'm a robot because I really struggle with Captchas these days. Maybe I just really don't know what a motorbike looks like.

@H4ND
I have a strict principle of never picking bicycles or motor cycles and a couple of times it cost me a few days of ban — not a HUGE problem as I'm on always on VPN and I can just switch to another exit point, but I'm often too lazy to do that as I have other things going on over network.
At times it gives me ONLY bikes — like on purpose, like 20 times in a row with no other options. Like ReCAPTCHA's mocking me 😂
@aral

@m0xee part of my frustration with it all is that we're just doing free labour; helping to train image recognition software.

I just keep clicking refresh until I get an easy one.

@H4ND
I remember in the early days when ReCAPTCHA was about OCR, you've had to enter two words and it was obvious which one was checked against, 4channers had a flashmob and entered the n-word as the one that was used for training. It's racist, but still very funny 😂
