Das Kontaktformular der #dowert funktioniert natürlich nicht - der zwingend notwendige #Capcha-Service blockiert den Versand von Nachrichten - #Kundenschnittstelle at it's Best!
Daher habe ich jetzt per Mail eskaliert und freue mich auf die Antwort:
Guten Tag,
wie ich heute sehen konnte sind bei unser Wohnanlage die zwei 1000 Liter Mülltonnen für Wertstoff wegen einer von Ihren Mitarbeitern festgestellten Fehlbefüllung nicht abgeholt worden.

Just tried to look and see if a Fave from Masto got through to Pixelfed. I was presented with a login; I thought for PF.scot but actually PF.social. Anyway, there was a new #Capcha there which was the weirdest, most incomprehensible one I've ever seen. A tiny blurred images, then some more blurred images and you had to pick some that fit the scene. Got it wrong enough times that there was an even weirder one that I can't describe. Absolutely f-ing ridiculous!

So now I have to prove I am not a bot to #cloudflare #capcha in order to access an article generated by a #LLM bot. -.-

Alguien más de aquí ha borrado su cuenta de #RockstarGames por los #capcha que no permiten gestionarla?

Constan de 15 MALÍSIMAS pruebas de reconocimiento de audio o imagen.

Audio:
3 muestras de audio, 1 a elegir que concuerde con lo que se pide reconocer por escrito, se mezclan y en ocasiones reproduce 2 idénticas.

Imagen:
5 habitaciones, una debería ser idéntica a un plano pero hay opciones idénticas.

Si aciertas todas tras la verificación 2FA deniega acceso por tiempo de espera excedido.

After a solid half an hour trying:

I have been defeated by this #capcha/sign up process.

I had to ask one of my team mates to sign up for me.

PSA: optional HCapcha support has been addded to Mastodon 4.2 beta 1. HCapcha's solution for screenreader users involves setting a user cookie, which is a privacy risk and not always reliable. If you'd rather a more accessible capcha solution be implemented for managing spam, please add viable options to the ongoing discussion at https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/25023
