Devorlon,

If you look at every interaction with a Redhat developer in the context of them having KPIs / set work to do. The responses to non critical issues / MRs makes a lot more sense.

Not saying that it makes it any better tho.

Devorlon,

I played a LOTR drinking game where you drank for either a landscape, precious or ring. I was late and picked all three, ended up doing something like 60 shots.

Though I don’t really remember anything after the beginning of two towers, and I’m pulling that number out my ass.

Devorlon,

IIRC some of the bigger banks / financial institutions use AI for fraud detections as well.

Devorlon,

You keep saying waste, I would argue it’s a byproduct. Like whey from milk.

What apps would you love to have open-source alternatives for?

It seems like the FOSS community is continuing to grow, and FOSS apps keep getting better (Immich reallh blew my mind recently), which is a big win 😎 but there are still many apps I use that I would kill for an open source alternative. I am curious what you guys think? Are there any apps you’d love alternatives for?

Devorlon,

Doesn’t seem that bad, when you go to log in it checks your IP, length of time on the site and mouse movements.

hCaptcha

This section has been adapted from hCaptcha’s documentation.

We use the hCaptcha anti-bot service (hereinafter “hCaptcha”) on our website. This service is provided by Intuition Machines, Inc., a Delaware US Corporation (“IMI”). hCaptcha is used to check whether the data entered on our website (such as on a login page or contact form) has been entered by a human or by an automated program. To do this, hCaptcha analyzes the behavior of the website or mobile app visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the website or mobile app visitor enters a part of the website or app with hCaptcha enabled.

When using the Revolt App, hCaptcha will only begin analysis when you:


<span style="color:#323232;">Submit a login request.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Submit a registration request.
</span><span style="color:#323232;">Submit a password reset / email resend request.
</span>

For the analysis, hCaptcha evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, how long the visitor has been on the website or app, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis will be forwarded to IMI.

Data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (DSGVO): the website or mobile app operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its site from abusive automated crawling and spam. IMI acts as a “data processor” acting on behalf of its customers as defined under the GDPR, and a “service provider” for the purposes of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA). For more information about hCaptcha and IMI’s privacy policy and terms of use, please visit the following links: hcaptcha.com/privacy/ and hcaptcha.com/terms.

Devorlon,

That’s the part of hCaptchas policy that’s relevant to Revolt.

For the analysis, hCaptcha evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, how long the visitor has been on the website or app, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis will be forwarded to IMI.

Devorlon,

I based my assumptions on the parts in Revolts privacy policy, since reading the privacy policy of hCatpcha it alludes that each ‘vendor’ can select how much data they’d like to collect I assumed that Revolt only allowed them to collect IP, length of time on site and mouse movements. While they do sell information, they claim it to be anonymised and I contacted support to see how they did that for IP addresses.

Which is why I don’t really mind. The information they have of me is at most how my cursor moved, how long I took to Submit a login request, Submit a registration request, Submit a password reset / email resend request and an obfuscated IP. Seems OK to me.

Devorlon,

I really want to be a part of good open-source projects

I get it, though I try to remind myself that perfection is the enemy of good. Especially in comparison to Discord which makes its money through [???] and is somehow only getting worse.

Devorlon,

the UK region of Scotland

I’ve never felt this offended

Devorlon,

Thank fuck, I’ll finally be able to experience a non-tory Westminster.

Devorlon,

I don’t know who’s downvoting you but I’d like to chime in and say you’re 100% correct.

Devorlon,

That is beyond what most people should be expected to do and it is beyond what people have done historically

Going to a local market to buy fresh produce has been the norm throughout history. In the past century it has changed but for billions of people, buying what you need for that day is still the norm, I know I still do it.

Devorlon,

Complete speculation but I’d bet that the UK government is so fickle that if France sent in troops then the UK would ‘have’ to send in its own, and by that point the US MiC would be complaining that the US hadn’t sent them in.

Devorlon,

Love the work being done on Phosh, anyone have an idea for when it’ll start being merged into gnome-shell / mutter?

@fediverse Fediverse user growth jumped to ~50'000'000 users. What happened ?
The FediDB Fediverse User Growth graph shows a significant jump in user count in February. Software distribution is also 81% other, and the biggest server is fediverse.hanbitgaram.com with 39 million users ! What happened ?

Devorlon,

Someone was testing a program they made that links Lemmy / Mastadon (ActivityPub) to other services, think threads or Reddit.

When they ran the program it created all the dummy accounts and published it to the Fediverse making it look like a lot of new users joined.

Devorlon, (edited )

That sort of rhetoric always feels sexist to me. The implication is that trans women shouldn’t compete since those with XY chromosomes have some sort of superpower that means they’ll beat those with XX.

The quote “Trans women can compete in sports as long as they don’t win.” always stood out to me.

Devorlon,

There have been cases [1] where vulnerabilities in software have been found, and the researcher that found it will contact the relevant party and nothing comes of it.

What they’re suggesting is that the researcher who discovered this might have already disclosed this in private, but felt that it wasn’t being patched fast enough, so they went public.

Devorlon,

Biden gets in:

  • Palestinian genocide continues
  • Trans rights continue

Trump gets in:

  • Palestinian genocide continues
  • Trans rights eroded

Which would you prefer?

Cycling is ten times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities (theconversation.com)

Globally, only one in 50 new cars were fully electric in 2020, and one in 14 in the UK. Sounds impressive, but even if all new cars were electric now, it would still take 15-20 years to replace the world’s fossil fuel car fleet....

Devorlon,

Canada gets more 4X the amount of snow than the Netherlands… Canada doesn’t remove snow as often cause there is more of it…

Your original argument is that Canada gets more snow than the Netherlands which is why it’s cycling infrastructure isn’t ploughed as much / isn’t as good. The video actually shows that Finland does deal with snow and many still bike.

Yet now you say Canada, a country that’s known to be cold and have lots of snow should be compared to the EU average instead of similarly cold countries. Why shouldn’t we compare Canada to Finland?

Devorlon,

I had this big comment, but just as I posted it my internet died. TLD±RW

I agree suburbs are hard to redevelop, we refocus cities to work for the people living in them, give suburbanites trains to cities and restrict cars. Which frees up space to allow for better winter cycle infrastructure.

Devorlon,

I’ve not seen any of these arguments. Though it may be all downvoted to hell and back.

My main gripe with adding privacy features to Lemmy is that the whole point of Lemmy is that all data is already publicly available and for Lemmy to continue working the way it does it’ll need to remain that way. And because of that there’s nothing that can be done to stop bad actors setting up an instance and selling all the data they collect.

At least in the EU (and UK to a lesser extent) no major corporation would be able to get away with selling that data, so the spent man hours on allowing privacy settings would be wasted time.
