@Amgine wonders about CAPTCHAs:
Q6. Many are bicycle or transport related. How do you feel about them? What about the act of completing them, and what they are used for?

@ascentale @Amgine @bikenite #BikeNite A6. The one thing that makes me laugh/cry about CAPTCHAs is that they demonstrate the fact that "self-driving" system computers probably can't recognize bicycles, motorcycles, and school buses.
CAPTCHAs are obsolete technology that do nothing to enhance security and everything to annoy and deter customers. Anything you can do with a CAPTCHA is better done with other means, like 2FA software (I use 2FAS) and passkeys, or molasses traps for bots/crawlers.
@gcvsa @ascentale @Amgine @bikenite Or crosswalks, other busses, and motorbikes/motorsooters.
