The OUSD school cafeteria uses a terrible application called "LINQConnect" to share menus with families. This used to have an open read-only API, but was recently changed to put the API behind a short-lived JWT issued by a very scripting-unfriendly third-party auth vendor (auth0, who helpfully puts a CAPTCHA on every page). OUSD also used to provide a well-formatted printable menu, but that hasn't been updated since the beginning of February (presumably due to layoffs).
It's fucking offensive that public services like school lunches are outsourced to private contractors who put them behind a proprietary API. I have no particular interest in playing CAPTCHA cat-and-mouse with Auth0, but I'm not sure what other options I have available to me in this enshittified world.
