Listen very carefully: Everyone in the IT industry has gone mad

Microsoft acquired GitHub. Okay, this probably means that it was a lucrative business that MS could make a few hundred bullion $$ from. Sounds like a sweet business transaction.

Fast forward a few months. Now yours faithful tries to go and register a new github account, just to post a bug report for an open-source piece of software that is full of bugs and requires some feedback and a kick in its developer's balls, just to become barely useful. Ha-ha! Not so fast.

To register at GitHub one is now required to solve a captcha challenge. It is a set of 6 pictures, 2 rows of 3 columns, each with a set of 6 of 6-sided dices. Those dices not only have dots: some have numbers on their sides. Are you following? They have numbers too...

Now, try to solve the challenge: pick a picture in which dices total to 14. Here we go... Some dices have 6 on them, and they lay sideways on the desk. Are they 6 or 9? Fine, once I flex my math skills and finally solve this challenge, by guesstimating which digit it might be, the whole thing has the audacity to tell me: "1 challenge done" and present me with a new set of similar pictures. You know, Microsoft: you are brain-fucked, if you believe that adults who need access to some open-source projects enjoy being bullied to such degree. So, go and fuck yourself, lunatics!

And we thought that Google, with its incessant, insatiable reCAPTCHA was insane! Ever spent a few minutes screaming at it: "Yes, I am a fucking human, and you are not! I have just clicked every bloody street light, crosswalk, fire hydrant, vehicle, tractor, and bycicle that you keep showing me, but you are still not satisfied, bitch?"

Now, we obviously have to train another AI, this time at MS. Go, fucktards, and train it YOURSELF, and leave the humankind alone!

If this is the kind of behavior that we get from the best of the best, from the university graduates with many years of IT experience, competency training, sensitivity training, yada, yada, yada, can you imagine WORST OF THE WORST?
