Out of curiosity, is anyone else having a lot of misfires with reCaptcha lately or is it just me? Seems like they're milking more free labor out of us these days than they used to.

Fuck the what Google's ReCAPTCHA is now a paid service?

Okay, time to migrate. Which other CAPTCHA services you know are free?

BTW: Planning to kill ReCaptcha package for Laravel, ask Google to bring their own.

#reCAPTCHA: 819 million hours of wasted human time and billions of dollars in Google profits
#Google acquired reCAPTCHA in 2009 and used it to digitize #GoogleBooks and improve #GoogleStreetView by processing photos of street signs and house numbers.
By 2025, reCAPTCHA is easily defeated by bots. Yet Google continues to offer it because reCAPTCHA has evolved into a tracking tool that collects user data and generates billions in revenue for Google

Today #reCaptcha forced me (for the first time) to select a obviously wrong picture:

The question was about pedestrian crossing, and I was forced to put a checkmark on picture of a restricted area road marking (area surrounded by a solid like with stripes inside, like "J" on https://www.gettingaroundgermany.info/zeichen2.shtml#mark or https://korkortonline.se/en/theory/road-signs/road-markings/m9/ )

Anybody still want self-driving cars?
