TIL our app uses reCaptcha and was saddened.

I didn't realize how much i've come to absolutely hate everything about reCaptcha

* i hate doing free labor training AIs for ultra-rich companies
* i hate that they punish Firefox users by increasing the likelyhood of showing multiple captchas
* i hate that the instructions are hostile to autistics

That latter one may be non-obvious. When it asks you to click the ⏹s with things, and one barely crosses into another ⏹, do you click that ⏹ or not?

@masukomi wait so not everyone has that problem?

@jeder i think it's a difference of degrees and stress. A neurotypical sees it, makes a call, and moves on. An autistic sees it, and has some degree of stress over following the instructions and doing the "right" thing, or the consequences of that if my training that that something isn't a bicycle/car/streetlight because it barely crosses an imaginary line means that a car somewhere will be more likely to kill someone.

@jeder and, even more frequently, the neurotypical doesn't even consider the possibility that the edge of a streetlight barely poking into a square should be considered "a streetlight"
