This has to be staged... no way someone would actually get that many checks. Still hilarious

I do, use the Tor browser.

@mangeurdenuage @alyx @nosleep
Every time that FUCKING Google captcha appears, I spend 10, yes, TEN fucking minutes to solve it!

I usually get 2 levels of pictures. I don't thing I've ever got more than 3-4. You people are doing something extremely wrong.

@alex @mangeurdenuage @alyx @nosleep They are just using your input to make their image recognition AI better.

@charims @nosleep@neckbeard.xyz @mangeurdenuage @alex
I know... this honestly annoys me more than still having to do captchas in 2021.
This is also probably why it's better to not use Tor, or anything similar that would make the system through more checks at you to be sure you're not a bot. The less we help Google make its super AI the better.

>Tor
You do realize Tor is barely anything more than a meme now, right? Like, it doesn't actually protect you properly. Either do a decent VPN, or nothing. Tor doesn't help, and it's gonna constantly fuck you up with any website login.

@alyx @nosleep
>a decent VPN
>decent
That's a question of trust and you can't trust merchants. The best VPN you can have is one that you make yourself with a vps because at least you configured it but you can't trust the host to not snoop on you either.

>Tor doesn't help,
Tor gives you the same fingerprint as all the other tor browser thus blending in, VPNs do not in anyway do that.
Same with tails GNU/linux

>and it's gonna constantly fuck you up with any website login.
That is not Tor's fault but webdev faggots using google recaptcha while there are other solutions.

I must be going blind, cause those 2 ISBNs look the same to me.

I'm getting the exact same bad search results. So yeah, they're functionally the same.
Don't know if you tried being a wisecrack, but it failed as far as I'm concerned.

For future reference: putting ISBN-10: 0120885883 leads to a faster amazon find.

Who gives a fuck about browser fingerprint when it's a known fact that your IP can still be discovered and tracked in the Tor network. The entire thing that Tor was supposed to be able to protect against, it literally can't. Browser fingerprint doesn't directly lead to your physical location or your real identity. IP does. You need to figure out your priorities if you actually care about this.

Yes, finding a trustworthy VPN is not an easy task. But it's a whole lot more worthy and useful than who knows how much time you waste on captchas.

@alyx @nosleep
>it's a known fact that your IP can still be discovered and tracked in the Tor network.
It's a known fact that the way the TCP/IP protocols were built was for efficiency and not anonymity.
Nothing is 100% safe one any system, you can only mitigate the problems.

Bro, I don't have 3 hours to watch some overly long lectures. Either TL;DR or just...

I'm sure you can eventually match browser fingerprints across different sites, and find someone's Facebook or whatever, but IP is probably still faster, especially for governments, who people usually want to avoid most when they start becoming paranoid.

All of what I shared are already TL;DR.
Either you take time or not that up's to you but please don't spread information that does not reflect actual reality.

@alyx @nosleep I get this many checks occasionally. But it’s only after I’ve been doing a ton of CAPTCHAs in short order, like when Omegle semi-bans my IP.

@alyx @nosleep the more browser fingerprint protection settings/addons your browser has the more captchas you get. That being said- I have absolutely had that many with a normal fucking clean chrome browser before.
@alyx @nosleep oh it does indeed happen. happens to bf a lot, especially in discord login for some reason. he could spend five minutes doing them until he calls me and says do it for me
