@jorijn@berkes gotosocial is fantastisch. Een verademing als je gewend bent aan het spaghettiworstelen van de veel te grote en ingewikkelde Rails app van mastodon.
Prima voor een persoonlijk account. Misschien inmiddels goed genoeg voor een (kleine) community, maar niet bedoeld - en dus ongeschikt - voor iets als mastodon.nl
Lol.
I'm building a tool that summarizes what what a company does based on their website.
Most common type of answer:
"The company specializes in web development and optimization, as suggested by the presence of JavaScript related to rendering the webpage efficiently and measuring performance metrics like render time and cacheability. They also seem to be utilizing tools like ResizeObserver and PerformanceObserver to enhance user experience and optimize page loading."
Their HTML is so bad that anything that's not a full blown browser simply cannot parse it.
Or, in other words: their website is crap, inaccessible, invalid and bloated.
And coincidentally therefore unfriendly towards AI, bots and quite probably most humans that don't have the most powerful machines with modern browsers and 100% eyesight and such.
I tried that with signal. But a lot , almost all critical paths, happen on the server. And it's very complex. Signal has a lot more moving parts than WA.
Both use the same E2E encryption protocol. Both have been vetted by independent third parties. Without the server also being open source, I find this a very weak argument in practice.
Metadata tracking is, IMO the only practical argument against WA. But I fail to see how that is a practical, significant treat.
In an era of algorithmical movies (and series and music) I thought I had seen it all. Was convinced movies would either be (for me) unwatchable artsy, or forgettable bland amusement.
But here's the proof I was wrong. Truly original. Weird. Just the right amount of discomfort. Funny, sad, empowering. And taught me new insights about my position as western white male in an unfair society.
Truly impressive how all that fits perfectly in one #movie.
Meh, moldy frames in a beehive. I guess the online sources say it's no problem and the bees will clean it out, but I think we'll just compost these. #beekeeping
This #Bridgy nonsense is exactly the reason why #Mastodon is doomed to fail unless something changes. The whole “not in my back yard” bullshit is starting to get really old.
@brunomiguel@kev let me rephrase: do you want to opt out of people reading content that you publish on the web? Or do you want opt out of servers accepting content that your server pushes to them?
When you pushed it to server M (someone on server M was following you), that's it.
All you can do is hope they'll too delete it when you do. And not do evil stuff with it.
It's really like email. The moment you sent it, it's out of your hands. So if you hate google, never send to any gmail address. But there's nothing to protect you against someone forwarding, printing or storing it forever.
Meta is downranking/hiding political content on Threads. The company says Threads will “not recommend any content/accounts that post about politics.”
Here’s the issue: what counts as “politics” is often any news abt people who have had their whole existence politicized, such as news about Black people, LGBTQ people, disabled ppl, women, etc. Climate scientists, public health experts etc also considered “political” https://www.axios.com/2024/02/09/meta-political-content-moderation-threads
There's nothing stopping any Mastodon/ActivityPub user from the EU to send an information request on stored data according to GDPR requirements to anyone running an opt-out only bridge that shares my data with other networks ... ;)
@jwildeboer there's a lot stopping that bridge from complying with that request though. Especially if they aren't a legal entity and even more if they aren't one in the EU.
