It's 2024 and there are *still* websites with no accessible audio captcha. Can you actually believe this shit?

Edit: I have been quite rightly informed that audio CAPTCHA doesn't benefit deafblind, so let's just change it to:

@Andre Louis I just saw such a website about two weeks ago. Oddly enough, it had a math captcha, 5 plus 6, that kind of thing. The problem was that it hid the math problem from the screen reader somehow. It was damn easy enough for an AI to read though, of course defeating the whole purpose of even having a captcha on the site. What good does a captcha even do now that AI is so easy to use and is baked into everything these days? Well, everything but your screen reader that is.

With the news that Google is going to "supercharge" Maps with "AI" (and the poor results I've had with Apple Maps), I finally checked out OpenStreetMap: openstreetmap.org/

OMG THIS IS AMAZING. So much more useful detail! Incredible! Going to dig up an app for my phone and use this for a while to see how it compares to the ad- and AI-ridden nonsense.

España ha tomado bastantes malas decisiones en política ferroviaria a lo largo de su historia, pero pocas tan incomprensibles como dejar morir la vía de la plata.. Ya es hora de revertirlo. Gran noticia.

Trest za pestovanie či prechovávanie marihuany sa dnes odvíja nielen od množstva zadržanej drogy, ale aj do toho, ako ju polícia ohodnotí. Postupuje pritom podľa tabuliek, ktoré sa líšia podľa krajov. To znamená, že obvineným hrozia iné tresty v závislosti od toho, v ktorej časti Slovenska žijú, respektíve kde sú súdení.
