Those are particularly bad but its becoming a problem across the board now.
Generally take me 3-4 go's to get past the std captchas now on forum postings
etc, it getting really irritating. I'm bothering less and less these days.

I didn't get past this one at all. It also didn't seem to like my email
address. I'm not sure it's not broken, actually...

You got a better series of them than I did, and I also gave up. But I
should have known better, its a rare occasion indeed when the kde folks
care what the user wants. I have gotten the impression that they will do
anything they can to reduce the volume of incoming mail while making it
_look_ like they take feedback. Those capcha's are intended to be human
solvable while OCR techniques fail. But not even I've Been Moved's Watson
could solve those. Stuff them someplace dark with a methane atmosphere,
please.


Cheers, Gene

Yeah, it feels like you're not supposed to actually manage to
sign up. But I wouldn't blame KDE for the vagaries of
Ubuntu Software Center...?

Or turn Captcha things into Ubuntu things turning into Kubuntu things

I have seen official Captcha reCaptcha images become unreadbale quite often
these days. I wonder if it is the quality of the content they feed out to all
the website authentication areas they service, or they have made it more
difficult to make it tougher for bots and spammers to break. Very frustrating no
matter the reason, as is the spam and porn that makes it through if sites ease
up on the verifications

Why would the unguessable or "wrong locale"-y ones (had some Greek
and Hebrew) even get rolled out? If computers can't "read" them,
wouldn't it have to start with humans consciously deciding to add them
(and their clear text "solutions")? Must be a sadistic bunch...
