@freemedia@thepirate.party Calling people idiots because they disagree with you is the absolute lowest form of pretence to intellectual capacity. You obviously understand neither the panel above or freedom of speech. However, you are right in that you are free to ignore me and anybody else. Just as I am free to ignore you. That is exactly what is going to happen for the rest of this thread if I see any more name-calling from you or anybody else.

Well, there is a life outside of social media

Name calling is what people do when they don't have any arguments. I have no patience for this, which is why, as a rule, I quit getting involved in threads like this.

Oh yeah, I forgot, Diasporans can't see likes on comments, so:

CreativeCommons do a lot of great work, but requiring that I work for free to train the Google AI if I want to sign up for your newsletter (or whatever this is, it's a bit unclear) is not acceptable! There are other and way less intrusive ways to protect your signup form from spammy registrations.

We actually discussed that particular captcha model at work today. I really dislike the way the data is used to train AI. It's smart to do it that way, but I really do not like it at all, and a lot of people do not know that it's actually used for.

Tanja

Tue, 14 May 2019 20:34:03 +0200

What I'm not getting about this is why a captcha would be necessary in the first place. After all, it's only about passively receiving emails, not about actively engaging. That makes it even worse.

@stig atle That's the exact problem with these things, most people don't understand how the economy of the internet works. It would have been a brilliant idea if it was for the common good. It isn't, it's to the direct profit of one of the most profitable and powerful companies in the world.

@Tanja I think it's a knee-jerk reaction from numb sysadmins. "Oh, we have an input field" -> "we must protect it from spam" -> "we must use google reCaptcha..." The thing is, it's really simple to set up, and to be fair, probably the best protection against spam and bots you can get. And it costs nothing for the site. BUT you have now made sure that everyone that visits your site MUST accept googles terms and services, and there's no way around it.

Hubzilla 4.2 in a nutshell
We are pretty close to branch out Hubzilla 4.2RC. Here is a summary of changes:

1. We have merged the Events and CalDAV Calendar frontends. The Events and CalDAV apps have been deprecated in favour of the Calendar app which now comprehends both.

2. We have revived the threaded comments feature. If the feature is enabled from the conversation tools, it is possible to directly comment on comments. The timeline view will remain flattened in the Hubzilla stream. In Friendica and Mastodon this kind of comments will appear beneath the commented comment.

3. An option to store photo thumbnails on disk instead of DB has been implemented. This will reduce DB load and size.

4. It is now possibly to reset the profilephoto to the default. Also the possibility to remove coverphotos has been implemented.

5. Activitypub federation has been improved. We will now deal with profile changes on the fly with platforms that support that kind of messages. Also relaying of comments to activitypub servers has been improved. especially for Friendica and Mastodon which support comment relaying.

6. Many bugfixes and usability improvements.

Did i forget something?
Probably...

Another piece hung up in Oslo by a friend. Not her work, though, but helping another artist spread her work. Quite amazing how much effort goes into some of these pieces.

The ants and the maggot

Harald Eilertsen

Sat, 04 May 2019 20:11:53 +0200

It was a nice day. The weather was warm, the sun was bright, and I had a freshly brewed cup of tea in my hand as I was strolling along the stone path between our house and my work den/studio. Then I notice these ants struggling with something on one of the stones that make up the path. They'd found a maggot. Obviously a nice supply of food, and it looked like they were trying to haul it back to their nest. It was quite fascinating to watch, so I fetched the camera and got these shots.
