I would guess that the amount of people who care about which keyboard layout they use, don't use the local keyboard layout, and require appropriate labeling of keys (i.e. don't touch type) at the same time isn't that high. I

I still wonder how that detection thing works. My custom Firefox setup with requests proxied through Tor passes as the TBB, but copying the same request as a curl command somehow doesn't.

Yeah after years of suffering from reCAPTCHA I'm somewhat thankful for hCaptcha. It is still annoying (especially Cloudflare's integration which seems barely compatible with the Tor Browser's cookie and circuit management),

Couldn't the poster set a password instead of a cookie, which they could then use for comment moderation on that post?

I normally use the Kanji draw [1] application which is also surprisingly good at recognizing what I'm trying to input. Not nearly as forgiving as Google's solution [2], which I sometimes have to fallback to, but usually it works i

Well the Hungarian one feels like somebody took every single word in the essay and replaced it with the first result from a rather small dictionary. Google Translate produces a better translation (which is of course still awful), but I have

I don't really get the outrage, I've always been perfectly fine being addressed by the government and other organizations without the diacritics in my name. In fact I far prefer that to their placement being mixed up by human erro

And this is exactly why I enabled the global "Disable JavaScript" option in uBlock Origin. The frustration these popups constantly cause far outweighs the slight annoyance of having to re-enable JS for some websites (and you can a

For me it's the other way around, in the search bar it does nothing but it does pause videos.

I believe that these conventions (at least for dates) are indeed the most practical for their respective languages. Take for example "October the third, two thousand nine" (10/3/2009, MDY). In German one would pronounce

uBlock Origin also has a "disable JavaScript" button - I simply press that and reload.

That makes sense then, w3m's inline image option was probably disabled for OP and the other two can't inline images at all.

Sure the technology seems to have a long way to go. But would it not being real really matter once you could no longer tell the difference? Either way, when the alternative is loneliness, depression, and eventually suicide, I find the AI so

It's not so much different from the sighted reCAPTCHA+Tor experience, it just wastes less of your time by straight up telling you you're a bot. Also, for some reason, if you press the audio challenge button through Tor, it immedia

They can't be distinguished from bots with tracking, and tracking is pretty much all v3 does. Google doesn't seem to care about collateral damage, I suppose it's the "why use VPNs/proxies if you have nothing to hide
