I dag har jeg sendt følgende i en epost til Norid:

Subject: Hvorfor må jeg dele data med google for å få PID?

Hei!

Jeg kommer meg ikke til siden for å generere/finne igjen min PID uten å måtte dele data med
google, noe jeg nødig vil gjøre av grunner som jeg regner med er åpenbare i våre dager. Jeg
innser at Google's reCAPTCHA-tjeneste er enkel å bruke, men mener at det ikke er holdbart at
det skal være et krav å la seg overvåke av, eller jobbe gratis for, verdens mektigste selskap for å
kunne registrere norske domenenavn.

Håper dere vil vurdere andre metoder for å sikre prosessen mot roboter i fremtiden, og da helst
metoder som ikke krever at man avgir personlige adferdsdata til utenlandske aktører.

På forhånd takk!

one of the dumbest ever. rights that arent exercised (or understood) as part of culture will not survive as part of a government.

no, im responding to what the comic says, not whatever hypothetical example you come up with.

this isnt 100% one thing or 100% the other thing. there are certainly instances where some points of the comic makes a certain amount of sense. the real problem is that freedom not understood and not respected except in the context of an amendment will not remain an amendment. if people dont stand for freedom of speech in everyday life, they will never have it again in any legal context. and the comic is stupidly making light of something that is certainly being eroded in society. i love xkcd, this is the dumbest (most inane) thing munroe ever posted. i feel sorry for anybody who thinks it is even remotely profound.

Except, that is exactly what the comic says. Your right to free speech does not include the right to make me listen, or make me give you a platform.

I'm not going to argue this any further. You either understand the concept or you don't. I will not try to convince you otherwise, since I do believe that you have a right to your opinion. I have largely gotten out of political discussions on social media (hence my initial statement about regretting this). I know that there are plenty of free speech radicals, especially in the U.S., and when I was still using Diaspora, I've had my share of discussions with them. Frankly, I find them just as tiresome as any other radicals.

very well. if it makes you feel any better, im sure they find your self-righteous deafness just as tiresome.

the real problem with the comic is that its reductionist, particularly in the last panel-- bordering on idiocy. if it makes you happy, youre certainly entitled to that.

One more thing that I just couldn't resist posting...

The pod you signed up for also has restrictions in place, as per their terms:

In order to make thepirate.party* a great place for all of us, please do not post, link and otherwise make available on or through the Service any of the following:
Content that is libelous, defamatory, bigoted, fraudulent or deceptive;
Content that is illegal or unlawful, that would otherwise create liability;
Content that may infringe or violate any patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright, right of privacy, right of publicity or other intellectual or other right of any party;
Mass or repeated promotions, political campaigning or commercial messages directed at users who do not follow you (SPAM);
Private information of any third party (e.g., addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, Social Security numbers and credit card numbers); and
Viruses, corrupted data or other harmful, disruptive or destructive files or code.

Also, you agree that you will not do any of the following in connection with the Service or other users:
Use the Service in any manner that could interfere with, disrupt, negatively affect or inhibit other users from fully enjoying the Service or that could damage, disable, overburden or impair the functioning of the Service;
Impersonate or post on behalf of any person or entity or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity;
Collect any personal information about other users, or intimidate, threaten, stalk or otherwise harass other users of the Service;
Circumvent or attempt to circumvent any filtering, security measures, rate limits or other features designed to protect the Service, users of the Service, or third parties.

That seems to be the diaspora* standard text, so good luck.

@Tanja i didnt write their policy, but even if i did it would be tu quoque. youre obviously tired of people challenging the notion that youre always right, rather than actually caring about the things youre talking about.

anyway, the one good thing about this comic for me is its a pretty reliable litmus test. people who dislike it are either trolls, or actually care about free speech. people who like it are usually idiots who are worth ignoring. i mean, feel free to troll a bit more, if you want to fap off to your own personal brand of stupidity its fine.

narcissists make up roughly the same percentage of the internet either way, and if you jumped out a window it wouldnt change significantly.

@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.

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

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...
