ngl i do think the concept of proving you’re a human every 5 minutes because you’re using the internet is quite upsetting

even aside from “haha not human! can’t press that” like man

@halva I get it because of spam but like
in some places like login forms it feels really stupid, if my password is valid just let me the fuck in
and also in general spambots are at this point much better at solving captchas than humans (or they outsource solving to literal slave farms)

@halva pov: using Tor so your captchas are validated but instead of getting in new ones appear for hours and hours at a time

@novenary
@halva it's also just to *look* at things in most raccases for me

@charlotte @halva yeah especially if you count things like anubis

@novenary
@halva no I mean stuff like cloudflare turnstile

@charlotte @halva yeah, figured but morally these are more or less the same thing even if the motivation isn't the same

@novenary @halva they don’t place unpaid labour on random people

@charlotte @halva ah right, yeah
