What Webcam?
So we click the things that say can not do challenge and we’ll pick the alternatives, no?
"Accessibility
For users with accessibility needs who cannot use hand gestures to complete the challenge, reCAPTCHA continues to provide visual and audio challenges, and develop more accessible and secure alternatives."
No, they won’t. They might try, mind you, but that’s not happening. I’ll sooner adapt to a piece of tape at the top of my screen than to this.
Lol.
yeah, so that’s absolutely not happening. if it requires me to turn my cam on, I will just close the tab.
Further reason to avoid google’s shit like the fuckin plague.
The videos are never associated with a user’s identity and are deleted after the verification process. Audio is never recorded.
My fat fucking ass do any of this. Google is just as data hungry as everyone else, they will absolutely save it, and feed it to their AI to enhance their ability to generate realistic people.
Exactly. In a few years, there will be some breach, and it will come out that Google “accidentally” saved everything, and they are shocked and appalled that the gosh darn AI that did it.
Exactly. Its what these companies do every time.
and there will be no punishment for it, because people are too lazy and stupid to stop using google, and government is to feckless and useless to properly hold megacorps accountable.
Bet they’ll be “punished” by a 5 million dollar fine (which is like, couch money to google, and would probably be 0.005% of the money they made from doing it)
The fuck it will
Guess I’m not a human anymore
The Electric sheep dreams go hard though /s
Jokes on them. I run Linux on a 2017 MacBook Air and the camera doesn’t work
Are webcams that ubiquitous nowadays? My monitors never had one, and I could never be arsed to buy an external one, but perhaps I’m the weird outlier here.
You’re an outlier simply by being a desktop computer user instead of a laptop, phone, or tablet user.
the world would be a lot better if people went back to sitting at desks to use the computer/internet.
Why wait? We can block their headquarters and wave a hand (and finger) now…
I will not do this. Whatever services require this i will not use.
If I have to do this to log into my email one last time as I’m migrating out, I will write off all emails there as lost. If my phone makes me do it to unlock it, I will go out and by an iPhone on the spot. That makes me want to puke typing that out, because I hate iPhones, but I’ll do it.
Linux phone. It’ll be painful, but maybe less painful þan an iPhone.
Shit what am I gonna do about email
I signed up for tuta, but have yet to actually migrate. I’ve been on Gmail for over 20 years, so it’s tough to get everything moved over as far as having used that for accounts.
Move existing messages from gmail account to new one, set up a forwarding rule from gmail to your new address for everything, change accounts as they show up. Maybe a bit longer route, but far easier to swallow since you don’t need to go trough all the things in one go nor worry if you’ve missed something.
