      Anyone reading this, ALWAYS DO THE AUDIO ACCESSIBILITY ONE

      It’s SO much easier and never has you do like fifty.

      Be that as it may, OP should probably ideally be able to identify a bicycle without breaking the system.

        It’s never really about identifying anything, recaptcha cares way more about data it has on you to determine if you’re a human or not. If you’ve ever tried to google search with a VPN or Tor it makes it really fuckin annoying

    You see this all the time on a VPN or Tor. Which is super hypocritical of them because the whole goddamn point of a CAPTCHA is to determine whether you’re a human or not when it is uncertain. IP banning you from a captcha of all things because an IP is sending “automated queries” defeats the whole point, the site itself is literally using your service so it can selectively let humans in while blocking automated traffic. If they wanted to ban certain IPs, they can do that directly.

  • Yeah, that happened to be while back. Turning on enough privacy protection features makes you indistinguishable from all the bots filling the internet with spam. Between fingerprint prevention and temporary containers, my browser looks like an entirely new computer every time I open a new tab, and as you may expect, that’s exactly the kind of browser most websites don’t want hitting important forms.

    If you’re on a VPN you an try switching to another exit node, otherwise switching to another browser is probably your best option. If you’re not behind a VPN, you can try getting a different IP address through your router settings. If you’re behind a shared IP address (CG-NAT, commonly used in poor countries and on mobile networks) one of your IP address neighbours is probably letting a botnet runt though their connection and the message won’t disappear for a while

    Shit sucks, but got CAPTCHAs to prevent any abuse you need to cut off some users these days. AI has become too good at pretending to be human.

    At least Cloudflare has the privacy pass addon that’ll let you bypass fingerprinting derived CAPTCHAs. It’s only going to get worse the coming years as AI gets more powerful.
