So not only google is trying yo crush fdroid, they're also trying to crush anything without google services. I really wish the EU moved immediately on this one...
And if AluminumOS succeeds, your desktop will succumb to the same thing, as Google will view Windows, Mac, and Linux as a threat at that point and do everything to stamp out all three.
Like, how soon before doing anything at all on desktop is considered 'suspicious activity' by Google?
In the very bright future ahead, your neural implant will immediately alert the police the moment you try to operate a dust covered computer or old handheld smartphone so they can be confiscated. No personal computing allowed. Only terrorists and psychopaths run software on hardware they own, they'll say, and doing so makes you suspect.
Sure. As long as you don't plan on using anything much online with it. Any connection that triggers a captcha will be un-passable without play services installed.
What is supposed to happen with desktops here? If they require a phone to pass the captcha on the desktop that is already a huge issue and many people will complain about that regardless of play services.
IDK but recapatch hasn't worked for me on desktop. Since like... forever.
What happens is... I click the squares that contains the stairs. Or motorcycles, traffic lights, buses, w/e. Try to guess whether a sq counts if there are like 2 pixels of railing. Is railing part of the stairs? IDK. Doesn't matter tho. Google rejects anything I try and displays another captcha. Same result with that one. Fucking endlessly. It will NEVER let me past. I've tried some dozens in a row.
I think that is because G can't ID me to a particular human. So it does not matter how I answer them. "You shall not pass." G had a patent on "endless rejection" techniques. Instead of an outright block, it presents you with infinite unsolvable captchas.
Someone once analyzed web based recapatcha. Their conclusion was, G isn't trying to figure out whether you are human. It's trying to figure out WHICH human you are. It's identity resolution, not bot detection. If it can't get a high enough confidence estimate, you get denied. Sometimes with infinite captchas.
Yay. Let's make this asshole c

I'd be interested in reading/watching if you can recall the source.
Tryin to trawl through my saved bookmarks... it might(???) have been this link. But when I try it now, it's an invalid URL. It was years ago. Maybe the site or domain wasn't kept up. So I'm not completely sure that was even the right URL.
That story claims too, the more you are in google's ecosystem, the easier you can pass the recaptcha. For example, Chrome users get past easer than Firefox.
I do have working a link about the infinite captcha block technique! Blocking via an unsolvable CAPTCHA. Warning, google domain. Goes to patents.google.

I searched just now and found a few sites mirroring the claim. But they did not have the technical breakdown. Here's something from The Register.

Google's reCAPTCHA favors – you guessed it – Google: Duh, only a bot would refuse to sign into the Chocolate Factory

No freakin way is Google getting any of my money.
Time to investigate the I2P network and spend less time on the clearweb.
