    Bro, everytime I get the select all the ‘x’ tiles (motorcycle, bicycle, bus, etc) one I never know if it means “all” of them, like even ones with just a little bit on the tile. Does it want the tires, too? It’s bullshit. Never seems to be correct, what I select.

    Ditching CAPTCHA systems because they don’t work any more is kind of obvious. I’m more interested on what to replace them with; as in, what to use to prevent access of bots to a given resource and/or functionality.

    In some cases we could use human connections to do that for us; that’s basically what db0’s Fediseer does, by creating a chain of groups of users (instances) guaranteeing each other.

      Proof of work. This won’t stop all bots from getting into the system, but it will prevent large numbers of them from doing so.

        Yeah proof of something (work, storage, etc) seems like the most promising direction… I think it’s definitely going to raise global energy consumption further though which kind of sucks.

      I hate that captcha – the Google captcha where a single image (like a picture of a street with traffic lights, bikes, buses, etc) is divided up – it is the worst one by far.

        You can just click a couple squares and hit ok. It doesn’t have to be right.
