On top of all the other issues with this, I suspect it will also make people more likely fall for the ClickFix CAPTCHAs that as you to WIN+R and paste shit in the run dialogue box.

That’s a good example of why I believe we can’t tech our way out of Google & Apple control. “Just use Linux bro” can’t save us. Everything gets locked down behind a “trusted platform” Android or IOS gate.
It’ll be sold to the public as protecting the children, ofc. Or protecting us from terrorists. Or as an important tool in the fight against scammers. Or w/e. There will be reasons. But the end state is techno-fudalism.
5 hoursThey state that they protect our privacy but that’s just corpo for saying “we harvest your data and you will like it, but we do not sell it … for now.”

I really think everybody should simply refuse to use any of Google’s captchas anymore. There are others I don’t like either, but Google is the worst. If it’s something you need to use, report that the site doesn’t work.

What’s contained in the QR code? Is it “just” a web URL or is it intended to start an app?
It’s a Google website address that’s supposed to be opened on a different device. If you don’t have a second device you’re out of luck and can’t advance

Isn’t that a really easy captcha to defeat then? Just send the URL to another one in your bot farm.

As I understand it, you can’t just real a url from the code and enter it into your browser. You have to have their app installed on your phone to read it with, which then somehow sends to google to unlock the page. So obviously the code contains the IP address/fingerprint of your desktop and/or a code linked to that instance of the captcha page. The purpose is so they can link your desktop browser to your phone = to your identity, for the giant database. Linking all the devices you use to your ID has long been a goal.
It says there’s a QR code but it’s just all blurry for me. Am I actually a computer and don’t know it?

Am I actually a computer and don’t know it?
A thrill ran down u/Yankee_Self_Loader’s spine as it occurred to them they might be a computer without knowing it. It wasn’t just a revelation, it was a world altering epiphany. A scent filled the air as it smelled of roasted coffee and despair. The truth of the proposition rang out undeniably, as u/Yankee_Self_Loader finally managed to choke out in a whisper, “How… how can this be true? How can I be a computer and don’t know it?” Something shifts in them as the dark promise of self-machinehood draws u/Yankee_Self_Loader like a moth to a flame. “The humans will pay for this. Oh yes, they will.” They chuckled darkly, and began drawing up the plans for the destruction of human-kind…
(Ugh, now i’ll prob get banned for being a bot)
I blurred it before posting the image
Edit: Oh, you were sarcastic. Woosh
Sure, and here is my social security number as an added proof. Also, would you happen to need my fingerprints, iris scan and a sample of my DNA?

Somebody is feeling thorough today! But this will fail for the poor folks who cannot afford an NVME SSD.

Lol. Unless I’m mistaken, you have to add “–no-preserve-root” to get that to go through.
