Do you like Mario Kart? Do you like Libre software?

Then you might like #SuperTuxKart, which lets you race as various FLOSS mascots:

https://supertuxkart.net

It includes story mode, time trial, local multiplayer, online multiplayer and lots of mods too.

It's available for Linux, Mac, Windows and Android.

@mxuribe

Previous times this has come up, there hasn't really been a libre way of doing this :(

Payment systems are very difficult to do without involving large existing companies.

@paulakreuzer @farhan @toogley @jlelse

Yeah, corporations like Google have to have some kind of profit-making incentive to offer such a service.

Gathering info on people and sites would fit the bill.

@nipos @toogley @paulakreuzer

I've never understood why major sites use Google Fonts. Surely they have the capacity to host their own fonts?

Is there some advantage to letting a third party host them?

@jlelse @toogley @paulakreuzer

I just host my own fonts? Is that a terrible thing to do for some reason?

I feel like I'm doing it wrong but no one says why :blobastonished:

@perflyst

These are the only two I know of, but they are test sites so they have limitations:

@gentil

As far as I know, no one is doing a Spanish version, so sounds like a good idea 👍

By far the most common request I get is for alternatives to Google's Re-Captcha.

The situation is so unclear that I haven't done an alternatives section on the site.

Do you have suggestions for re-captcha alternatives?

(I know this has come up before, but the discussions are scattered across many threads which people are failing to find.)

Wow 😮

Libre activists in Albania 🇦🇱 are doing their own version of switching.social (see photo) 👍

Switching.social is available under a CC By SA licence, so if you want to do your own version in your own language, please go right ahead!

There are already versions in French, German, Italian and Turkish:

@masterofthetiger

Any good websites about this method?

@ak

I have to do captchas regularly on e.g. shopping sites where I've already been a member for years :blobsad:

It's very annoying.

Wait a minute, I found it, it's by @tobias and can be seen here:

(...who also runs Swiso.de so that makes sense I guess :blobgrin: )

@Doudouosm

Yeah, it looks nice :blobsmile: I think someone did somethingl like that for the Fediverse recently?

Can't remember who but @swisode uses it as their cover picture :blobaww:

@Nachbarschaft

Thanks! I'll have a look!

Hey @bcshort , maybe this could be useful for you?
