   Problem: captchas are a goddamn nightmare
   
   > I don't really want to live in a world where everyone who hasn't bought an Apple device has to solve CAPTCHAs all the time
   
   ok but there is no other solution and the captchas aren't going away so I'm going to revel in the comfort that I use Apple devices for my personal computing
   
   Every other proposal has been deemed evil or immoral so this is not a problem that anyone wants to solve. The "solution" being put forward by people allergic to technology is what? To somehow make everyone give up on captchas and just let their sites and APIs being raped by bots because it's inconvenient to you?
   
   That's not a solution

     @feld Were you responding to this report, that capchas are useless since AI bots are better than humans at them anyway?

     It's definitely time to come up with another block for the baddies that lets legitimate users through.

     No, but that's related to the issue at hand.
     
     I'm responding to people who are writing angry screeds about Apple's Private Access Tokens
