At this point I am literally just begging you to stop putting hCaptcha in your apps. Please. I don’t know what else to do. Please. Please don’t do it. If it’s on a website we at least have a chance. As bad a chance it might be. But if it’s in your app anyone who can’t do a captcha is completely locked out. So please. Do not do it.

Remember how WebAIM showed #UserWay was lying to us by manipulating its WAVE results?

UserWay is undoing it:
https://twitter.com/UserWayOrg/status/1667238112282419218

Of course it admits no wrongdoing *and* tries to paint itself a peer to WebAIM.

I updated my UserWay post of its lies:

Hot take: it’s fun to joke about Frodo and Sam being gay, but it’s not actually good. Straight dudes supporting each other and genuinely loving each other platonically is a good thing and we need more non-toxic masculinity in the world 🥺

This needs to be repeated occasionally: Alcohol is a disinhibitor. It does not change your personality. It degrades the self-control you use to conceal your real personality.

WHO YOU ARE WHEN YOU’RE DRUNK IS WHO YOU REALLY ARE.

Someone who’s “only a jerk when they’re drunk” is a jerk ALL THE TIME. They’re just able to control it when they’re sober.

Alcohol is NEVER to blame for anyone’s conduct.

Why do new appliances play a jaunty little tune to let you know they’re done? For a full month, I’d run outside with a handful of cash thinking the ice cream truck was coming. But, nope. Stupid dryer.
