Ireland, Spain and Norway to recognise Palestinian state (www.theguardian.com)

Ireland, Spain and Norway have announced they will formally recognise a Palestinian state on 28 May, triggering an immediate response from Israel, which said it would retaliate by recalling its ambassadors from Dublin, Madrid and Oslo, and withholding vital funds from the Palestinian Authority....

Devorlon,

dismantling the brutal apartheid regime

No where does that say dismantling Israel.

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.

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,

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,

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,

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,

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,

the UK region of Scotland

I’ve never felt this offended

Devorlon,

IIRC the French reactors are all nearing their end of service life and’ll be decommissioned soon.

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.

Devorlon,

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

Devorlon,

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

Devorlon,

I’ve not argued any of those points. Just that not watching ads on YouTube is piracy.

In the UK, piracy isn’t a legally defined term, and the way that I would define piracy as the illegitimate procurement of media.

Devorlon,

Piracy is sharing content that you don’t have the rights to share.

I’d classify watching something on piracysite.com as piracy.

I’d also class bypassing Netflix’s login requirements to watch their catalogue as piracy. But I guess that’s more a semantics thing.

Devorlon,

I’m a pedantic asshole.

Devorlon,

Isn’t it? You’re not paying for a service / product.

Devorlon,

Not saying you shouldn’t block ads, just questioning the OCs comment. If you don’t pay for the service monetarily or through data then imo it’s piracy.

Devorlon,

You don’t have permission to modify any of the content YouTube sends you.

www.youtube.com/t/terms#eb887a967c

Section: Permissions and Restrictions Point 2

circumvent, disable, fraudulently engage, or otherwise interfere with the Service (or attempt to do any of these things), including security-related features or features that: (a) prevent or restrict the copying or other use of Content; or (b) limit the use of the Service or Content;

Devorlon,

but TOS is often illegal anyway.

Piracy isn’t only a legal thing. It’s just dealt with through the legal system.

I’m not modifying any of the content

Sorry, I was wrong. You are however circumventing YouTube’s playing ads.

Devorlon,

What definition for piracy are your relying on?

The illegitimate procurement of media.

where did you source it?

My ass.

Does DMCA even have a definition for this?

Can’t help you there, I’m not American.

Devorlon,

That stuff sucks, and to add to your first point, I love hanging out with kids. They view the world in an interesting way that usually leads to funny out of context quotes about their parents.

But would I go up to even an acquaintances kid to talk? No. Since I’m a 199cm (🇲🇲6’6🇱🇷) hunk of man meat, I’d probably scare the kid and parent half to death.

The same goes for anyone, not just women. I don’t have the right to make anyone feel unsafe and if I am, then it’s my duty to walk away.

It’s not my fault, or yours. It’s just the way of things, and the only way we can fix it, is to respect everyone’s feelings. Unless they’re minimising your loss of someone, in which case fuck them.

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.
