Google's new reCAPTCHA wants your camera access and 21 points of your hand. Don't capitulate.
I've encountered this in the wild and was able to refresh the page to get the standard one.
Don't let Google & companies get away with this. They need to see a heavy drop in conversion to force them to use alternatives.
If you own a website or contribute to one, then I would recommend: HCaptcha - https://www.hcaptcha.com/ Turnstile - https://www.cloudflare.com/products/turnstile/

People are going to capitulate. We are an echo chamber inside of an echo chamber.
Yeah, I love all y'all bastards, but there's not a lot of connection outside of here. For both good and ill.

Don't just refresh the page to get a slightly-less-evil captcha; contact the company that runs the website to bitch at them about it.
no but fuck cloudflare too. Use Anubis.
