HEY

WHERE THE FUCK IS RAIN

they are evolving

Hate my popularity. I miss being one of those people who are just seemingly invisible.

I fucking hate captcha. I even more hate getting them wrong. I'm always like MAYBE I ROBO?!?!

the captcha on 4chan has evolved into something evil. I've seen plenty of umlaut and greek letters and random huge strings of numbers

I can't believe they expect people to all know about their OS's keyboard mapping/localization config to know *how* to type non-ASCII characters.

Well yes obviously. I'm not saying "wha dun dem ferrinrrs just lern friggin ainglish durnit". But English is kinda sorta a standard currently. Also, the site I saw the Greek captcha at is English-based, I'm pretty sure (although it did have a Japanese localization too, iirc when I visited it a few times while my computer was in that mode.)

I have a few language-specific input methods and such system hotkeyed for quick switching and Greek or whatever input is fine with me if that's what I need. Most people don't know how to change their OS's locale from the default locale it came in for their territory, and ASCII is generally the common denominator and has the best chance of being usable. It seems best for now to stick mostly to that for things like captchas, even if the rest of a site is internationalized or of some specific other locale.

And I'm sure you're familiar with the recent thing? Captchas are difficult enough to read already, but imagine captchas requiring exact code point matches for unicode strings. Now that'd be pretty evil and hateful software design.

Yes people need to know the particulars of whatever locale they work with the most in their own country/region, but you made it sound like English speaking Americans are the only ones that are closed and ignorant and anyone outside the US automatically knows every locale used in the world and a Thai person would automatically know how to enter Greek script. Silly Americans.

I hope the next captcha you have to fill in is in Chinese.

Why do girls always have to complain about their bodies?

Seriously it is so awkward when girls are like OMG I WEAR A SIZE 8 AND IT IS SO HARD BUYING PANTS AND I GAINED WEIGHT I WAS A 6 AND I STOPPED DRINKING SODA AND MY ARMS ARE FLABBY etc

and I'm like "ummmmm"

and then they're like OH WHAT YOU LIKE A 0

and I'm like "ummmmyeahhummmm"

and I hate it.
