Interestingly enough on this site's accessibility page they seem to
understand the deal about audio challenges being a problem too.
However, the more widely used platforms like Cloudflare become, the more
closed doors.

across sites that just ask a basic question like:
what is five plus seven?
Apparently this keeps out computer hacks too.

Subject: Re: hcaptcha, is A curiosity about multi-user systems?
Granted the issues captchas pose are extensive for several populations.
still, your idea of changing the user agent, no matter how reasonable,
seems to sort of make you a hacker. All the while this service continues
to misrepresent what access means, and if their twitter conversations on
the topic are any indication, limit access to a very small box.
there must be a more direct solution to this situation?

When hCaptcha first came out I went on CloudFlare's site and ranted
about how bad the accessibility was for screen readers. They seemed to
have fixed it a bit since then, but I don't think they really test or
put much effort in to it.
Ultimately CAPTCHAs exclude anyone that is worse off than an AI. I hate
it.
You could try setting your browser agent to some Windows thing, that
might help.
