Is it open source? If no, proton can suck my stroganoff.

Edit: The official subreddit of Proton says that it is a proprietary CAPTCHA system. Great.

Proton has opened sourced everything so far and I would expect them to do that here. They have whole pages written on why they open source everything and why that helps privacy.

It's a proprietary CAPTCHA, the sources say.

Open source and free (as in free speech) are two separate concepts, software can be open source and proprietary

[-] Asudox@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Give me the source code then.

How exactly do you have an open source captcha. If it were open source any one could read up on exactly how it verifies someone as a genuine human and replicate it.

Stroganoff is quite good if cooked correctly, may I try a taste of it? I'm messing with you

Does it say that both the front end and back end are proprietary, or just the back end? I'd be fine with a closed source back end

[-] Asudox@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Nothing is mentioned other than "proprietary system". Probably meaning that both ends are closed source. I don't see how I can verify whether it respects my privacy or not. I don't see a reason to implement this instead of mCAPTCHA, which is fully FOSS.
