Best of all captchas which require human interaction are completely redundant anyways. From a security perspective anyways (blocking bots generating huge amounts of traffic)... For training your next LLM however...

For me it's that a game I regularly play really needs their rootkit to run before they allow me to start it... If that ever changes or I stop playing it I'll take a long hard look at Linux.

It's more of a way to reduce costs for the CDN, using torrents everyone contributes and they only have to send a small magnet file.

Lock the settings app behind a passcode too, there's ways to block things like settings... Not sure if that works for individual screens in there though

I mean, duh? With proof of work captchas existing, there's no reason to have those image selection captchas... Ever...

How those work is by having the server generate a puzzle. Server side this is cheap to generate, while client side solving is "hard". The server can even choose the difficulty of the puzzle, and even set it dynamically. This means that when your website is under light load the captcha can be really easy/fast to solve. If your website is under attack however the captcha can be set to take seconds to solve.

Only time I ever felt small was when I stepped off the train in The Netherlands. (2m)

Seeing as you had about a 3 frame window to line up the middle one (and pure chance to line up the bottom one), don't be too hard on yourself

Simply making the hash really hard is not a good option. All most people will notice is that their underpowered phone suddenly takes way longer to unlock compared to before. Cracking the hash on very powerful hardware is then 'trivial'

As the other comment mentioned, a hardware solution seems to be the only one.

Train system is not exactly viable here compared to using a car (Belgium)

Edit: but yeah the rest is about right

What I use for such sites is a frozen card which I only unfreeze after setting a limit for my exact purchase amount. Pay, freeze again for the next time.

Same here, sure there's hacks and workarounds that don't require root... But still why the extra step...

I just want my window animation speed to be faster, why does that disqualify me from reading stuff sent to my government mailbox.

Something something Firefox extension: "I don't care about cookies"

Ikr, like I don't need a full feature full stack framework... I just want my tech demo to not look like it was made in the 80s without spending hours. (I'm mostly a backend dev)

I meant fried haha my bad, editing

Unless you're in France, they only fry fries once so the fries are soggy as hell.

Edit: bake -> fry

Small bits like caps can't get sorted for recycling for some reason, so they're just "waste" instead of recyclable

Plenty of paywalled sites have workarounds (Bypass Paywall Clean extension basically does that for you)

So you feel bad about slapping a mosquito? What about skipping a rock?

It is interesting to consider where we draw the line of what we define as an 'intelligent animal'...

On top of the reason the top level comment gave (easy for law enforcement) it also allows for better data collection (linking your activity to your account, no matter where, how or when it is recorded)
