I get slapped in my face with this shit on many many sites and it’s annoys the hell out of me.

I don’t even do anything shady ever. I have scraped a website once. Apart from that I try to use privacy respecting stuff like Firefox with addons. Have cookies delete at the end of the session though I don’t know if it does anything.

I have read that reCaptcha gets easier or harder depending on how Google has profiled you.

Why am I helping train AI models if I am a complete normie?

    On a slightly unrealted note, what issues are known with hCaptcha? Of course I’d take a self-hosted captcha anyday, but hCaptcha seems far better thanreCaptcha, but are there any known privacy or security concerns (even on a possibility/autistic level of concern) with hCaptcha? Their advertising seems way too good to be true, and their crypto spiel seems kind of sketchy. Although I haven’t looked too far into hCaptcha. It is FOSS right?

        Shame, figured. I don’t understand why sites can’t just use a self-hosted solution.
