I convinced another user to invite me over IRC. That’s probably the worst medium for convincing someone that you’re human
Hahah, I’ll say!
How would you design a test that only a human can pass, but a bot cannot?
Very simple.
In every area of the world, there are one or more volunteers depending on population / 100 sq km. When someone wants to sign up, they knock on this person’s door and shakes their hand. The volunteer approves the sign-up as human. For disabled folks, a subset of volunteers will go to them to do this. In extremely remote area, various individual workarounds can be applied.
WTF, I ain’t watching an hour long video on a stupid fridge! I’ll just watch the first few minutes and see what’s up…

One hour later…
Okay, that was really interesting. I really love this channel.
TIL the Technology Connections guy is on Lemmy via Mastadon.
And that’s awesome!
Oh, those sticky keyboards…
Yup, love that channel.
Yeah, for certain kinds of live conversations while involved in a group activity, it works fine. But only for that, in my opinion.
Yup, I agree wholeheartedly! It’s just not my thing.
I was a wee bit surprised (but not really, I guess) when just before the Reddit blackout everyone on Reddit was spamming their relevant Discord links for the relevant subreddit.
I could only think, “That’s no better!!”
We’ll see if that changes.
To add to that, Discord is an entirely different kind of interaction. Fine if that’s what you want, but not fine if you want something a bit more…static.
The auto-refreshing front page is very frustrating to use.
Sounds like that’s being fixed soon.
…Kernel patch at age 4. Sigh… What have I done with my life?
