Does anybody else share my intense and all-consuming hatred for Google Recaptcha? (exploding-heads.com)

I browse the net on VPN 99.9999% of the time and generally use firefox with privacy addons. So Recaptcha is an absolute cunt to people like me.

I just got done being prompted 15 times in a row before saying fuck this shit. Normally, I use ddg or searx.be for searches but it seems like some sites just like to troll me by using this shite for DDOS protection, registration, etc.

Really wish more sites would use competing captcha vendors like hcaptcha, friendly captcha, pretty much any other alternative, or even rolling their own. (one thing i loved when i used to use poal was their answer Hillary4Prison)

TL;DR - why do people still use shitty google captcha?

There really is a lot not to like about rust. People are so happy to use it because it's not C++. But C++ has 40 years of baggage. And I would argue that the safety guarantees of rust are not the best parts. It's mostly just Cargo, a single build system and less legacy baggage. I prefer golang for most things I could use rust for.
