Please stop using Google Captcha - halogen - 07-10-2021
currently passing a Google Captcha is a requirement for registration.
I 'd argue both the company and the act (you tell them what website you visited and train their AI, free of charge) are going against the values Pine64 stands for.
please consider removing it and using alternative, self-hosted solutions for human verification.

I don't remember needing the google pic matching verification when I signed up, but I agree we need to de-google everything we can including our websites.

+1 for this, no surprise to any forum regulars where I stand on it.
FWIW, I discovered this post in the suggestions below. So, apparently it is at least on the radar of the sysadmin (fire219).
I guess we could all use a periodic reminder? Somehow I don't appreciate them from my wife however.
Thanks @fire219 for all you do, mate!
