The Gogbear at least looks sad when he dooms us all...

oh, not this one. its sadly powered by NFTs and shit memes.

Gogbear has no computing power for NFT or even memes. It's just doom by sadness, death by inches, looking at the broken state of things and despairing. Depression, burn-out, passive doom.

they dont need computing power. just the related smugness. for this we can blame... somebody else!

One positive note though, without CAPTCHA we wouldn't have this funny video:

That’s new, the captcha system seems to be broken in a good way: I redeemed a gift code a couple minutes ago, without going through any kind of captcha. Without even allowing any network request to Google servers.

There might be something specific about my use case: the gift code has been bought and redeemed from a single public IP address (but different computers and different GOG accounts).

Looks like Captcha was removed for me also on the redeem page. Bless you GOG.

You know, Hulu login Captcha was also acting up. Wonder if it's related. I don't have any other service to compare it to, so maybe it's just a coincidence.
