What if you don’t have a webcam?
“For users with accessibility needs who cannot use hand gestures to complete the challenge, reCAPTCHA continues to provide visual and audio challenges, and develop more accessible and secure alternatives,”
Security is as good as the weakest link, either bots will exploit the accessibility feature making the webcam step for humans unnecessary… or its just as secure… making the webcam step unnecessary.
Blatent attempt to extract data from you and nothing more if you ask me.
I’m not even doing captchas any more. eBay threw one at me last week so I bought the same item elsewhere.
REcaptcha isn’t a captcha. It’s an audiovisual skills test that robots can pass & many humans can’t.
good for it…
add more layers and I’ll do the same, close the tab and just go elsewhere. it’s not worth the hassle.
Wasn’t it used to train AI or whatevs lol?
like captcha but it destroys itself
Google being a little removed and saying it “detected abnormal traffic coming from my IP” (I was googling something I google often) was my last straw, which ultimately led to me being here and degoogling.
In some cases, providers group multiple end users under one public-facing IP and do some address translation magic to sort out what goes where. Kind of like your whole neighbourhood having a single shared address and a central post office sorting mail into internal post boxes.
So that “abnormal traffic” might not have been you personally. It could have been some other background process on your computer, or it could have been someone in your vicinity.
Or their heuristics are spewing shit, who knows. Degoogling isn’t a bad idea, at the end of the day.
Curious to know where you went. I buy a lot of stuff on ebay
Went to Walmart.com, which is not great either. I bought something on eBay yesterday and it was fine so they must just be testing or it was a glitch.
Yeah nah, ebay > walmart. I’d rather not support a loud and proud trump supporting company
They’ll use your wifi signal strength to map out where the occupants of your home are and if the one sat at the computer is waving
Quit giving them ideas!
It’s already ongoing
I will not bend here. Either Google stops that, or I will not be using websites that use ReCAPTCHA as their service.
I will not scan a QR code with my phone, and I will not wave at the camera. I will not allow it to access my camera.
It would be nice if there was alert if we side uses this dystopian Recaptcha
Fine, i’ll go somewhere else.
wave goodbye.
Remember when the internet didn’t suck? Pepperidge Farms remembers.
I simply, will fucking not.
No, I don’t think they will.
Google cannot conceive of a computer that doesn’t have an attached camera, can they?
To be fair, it’s pretty rare. Even a lot of desktops have it.
I’d wager most desktops do not, though they are likely in the minority compared to laptops and mobiles.
I’d say less than half, although mine does being an all in one unit. An increasing number of monitors have a webcam now though.
I have a little bit of tape over my webcam in my laptop, so I guess I don’t have a webcam.
They can just fuck off . I will be pretty happy to just close the site . Anyways there is almost zero valuable information there
Does waving with my rear end count?
Does wagging my dick around count?
Not very accessible.
Not my computer they won’t.
I often just alt-w those fucking annoying captchas. Then I will alt-w even faster because I have no can and also have google blocked.
Seems like it’s time to accelerate the degoogling process 😅
