i encountered this for the first time today while attempting to read something on archive.today.
i confirmed that decoding the qrcode using a computer and following the URL it contains is insufficient; the error it gave directed me here which is what the linked screenshot is of.
the old type of captcha remains available too, for now:
The word you're looking for is .. abomination.
On the bright side, this means they are really worried that privacy practices such as those popular among the Lemmy crowd can make their surveillance expensive or maybe even impractical at scale, rather than profitable. I'm never sure if it's working, with firmware and all. Almost a good sign? Am I deluded?
I had encountered this terrible captcha before. I just refresh the page until old captcha appear.
I hate that it's my responsibility to protect your system from infiltration.
This is going to work just amazingly well with AI moderation, faceborg style.
I got one of these. They had accessibility options so I just did the auditory one. It says a couple words, you write them out, and you're done. Like hell am I using a Phone for this shit.
I still won't order online from a store that won't show me shipping cost without a full address and phone number. I'll give them the zip code, that's all they need, that's all they get before I decide.
Who owns the implementation of this? Is this something that websites opt into and add to their own site? Or is this something that Google injects when you're clicking a search result on Google?
Absolutely not
Everyone needs to fail the test over and over again until they fall back to their non-we want to fuck everyone over even more world.
Nah. Block all fingerprinting. You don't need any of this crap.
FWIW I've found passing it through my local SearxNG usually gives me a clean path to the content. But it's seriously worrying that some of the blocked content is publically available science (e.g. PMC Bioinformatics). But that should not be necessary, at this point a search engine should be a public resource. Fuck Google.
