Google keeps giving me Captchas whenever I use a VPN that it's already borderline unusable lol

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've used Nordvpn for years. For the first ~2 years I sometimes got captchas if not an annoying number of them. Now they are very rare. It might just be dumb luck of course.

Google is making itself borderline unusable as-is without so it's not that big of a deal. If I really really need to Google search specifically, I just pop VPN off for a minute shrug-outta-hecks

I usually set the search results to before GPT 3 was out.

Other than that, I'm going to have to learn the Dewey decimal system soon. But even then books will be AI so it'll all be pointless.

DuckDuckGo is better than either google or bing right now, and I think their implementation of "AI" is the smartest and least obstructive. I think it can be turned off as well, and the search results are a bit better than Bing now.

Doesn't running these things still use a shit load of energy? Crazy amount of waste considering I scroll past it every single time

Why did they make the loading bars skin-coloured?
