    Since I started using a privacy respecting browser and moved to GNU/Linux, my whole life is captchas.

        It makes sense that VPN users see CAPTCHAs though… By design, it’s hard to differentiate an attacker from a legitimate user, and there’s a LOT of cyberattacks that go via VPNs.

        That’s also why banks and online stores don’t like VPNs. It’s hard to tell if it’s you logging in vs if it’s an attacker using the same VPN as you.

    I tried to sign up for a Blizzard account and they were giving me long-ass math problems and I had to do fucking 16 of them. So I gave up.

    Fuck Blizzard and fuck whoever is setting up the Captchas

        It is entirely based on the theory that computers can’t understand an array of pixels

          Computers understand the content, but now how it’s represented, so they can’t solve it

          Humans understand how it’s represented, but not the content, so they can’t solve it

          Mathematicians understand how it’s represented and the content

          It’s not to keep computers away, it’s to keep non-mathematicians away!

            And everyone knows mathematicians love their kill death ratio and will grind hours into the night to get it perfect

              Nah… Just kill 1 guy out the door, then hide in a corner rest of the match. Boom. 1 kill, 0 deaths, 100 percent kd
