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.

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!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

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.

4chan has captchas for posting. It's pretty insane.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (2 children)

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).

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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.

Reminds me of that pokemon episode where ash and everyone was at school lol.

That's the one haha.

Since I started using a privacy respecting browser and moved to GNU/Linux, my whole life is captchas.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

Even just using a VPN makes google spam me with with captcha after captcha for each search

[–] [email protected] 28 points 8 months ago (5 children)

There are some really awful captchas out there. I miss the days of just typing out some stretched and tilted numbers and letters.

Firefox and Linux have not really caused any more captchas than I had on windows, using a VPN on the other hand is horrible.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

It may be because I have all history turned off, and I run a pihole + ublock origin.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Has anyone else received a reCAPTCHA from Google where they intentionally pixelated the image squares you have to click?

Try using a VPN on top of that.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

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 an attacker using the same VPN as you.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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.

I think there's script somewhere in internet that can bypass captcha

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

I use the bots to defeat the bots that defeat bots

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago (2 children)

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...

We need a YouTube tutorial

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago (4 children)

ran into that a few days ago. 20 fucking steps and THEN IT VALIDATED my email address I entered previous and said I couldn't use an @duck domain.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

So at some point I was to afraid to ask (on Reddit) but, uh… the mildly part is sarcasm right? Cuz’ fuck that shit!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

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.
