    Hey Crowd, haben wir eigentlich einen Weg, Talks vom vorläufigen Fahrplan über den Fahrplan, (vielleicht sogar über die Apps), über die Veranstaltung und dann über media.ccc.de zu synchronisieren? Ich hab das Gefühl, ich gehe die Liste von Talks 20 Mal durch, weil ich jeweils irgendwo irgendwelche Favoriten markiere, und dann aber meine gesammelten Favoriten manuell ins nächste Tool übertragen muss? Wie macht ihr das?

    Vielleicht ist die Congress-Seuche ein eingebautes Feature, um nach dem Congress krank geschrieben zu werden um die ganzen Talks nachzuholen?

    @janl @SheDrivesMobility ja, kann ich bestätigen. Viel viel Story. Kampf ist viel einfacher, wenn man den Kopf einschaltet (aber halt auch viel Kampf).

    A common assertion is that conferences shouldn't remove anyone who hasn't been convicted in court. This means that conferences can't remove people who scream over speakers, who drunkenly harass other attendees, who shit in the catering, and so on - this may be disruptive, may even be criminal, but even if you saw it happen they haven't been found guilty and so should be allowed to continue attending.

    I don't think people want to attend conferences run by people who sincerely believe this.

    @mjg59 if this is about 37C3; JA has been asked to leave (thrown out) as soon as it was known he was there. This is basically as early as possible within the way the Congress works (not asking for ID when buying or presenting a ticket; volunteers at the door).

    claudius,
    @claudius@darmstadt.social avatar

    @mjg59 I do not believe this hypothetical will lead us anywhere. But for the sake of argument: The people organizing have successfully defused situations before. I remember @HonkHase showing creativity and social skills in dealing with a group of posers years ago. This is not the first time people have been thrown out. "Asking someone to leave" is the polite version of throwing someone out.I am pretty sure that a number of more extreme measures could and would have been taken.

    @mjg59 Again, I do not think this discussion can lead to anything of value. I'm stopping here. Have a nice day.

    claudius,
    @claudius@darmstadt.social avatar

    @mjg59 you are putting words in my mouth. Please do not do that.

    claudius,
    @claudius@darmstadt.social avatar

    @mjg59 within the framework of the community, which values privacy and anonymity, it is exceedingly hard to make 100% absolutely sure that someone undesired can't buy a ticket and enter the location. Even with measures like ID checks, there would not be a 100% guarantee that someone like him couldn't enter. Hackers being hackers, I'm sure it would quickly become a sport to circumvent measures like that.
    So we're back to "someone saw and identified him" - just with surveillance for everyone else.

    claudius,
    @claudius@darmstadt.social avatar

    @mjg59 this is also done to make sure the capacity of the location is not exceeded. As shown by the fact that there are ways to not pay for a ticket if your circumstances demand it. And, yes, this is not 100% secure and probably not 100% just. It just works well enough to make an event possible.

    claudius,
    @claudius@darmstadt.social avatar

    @mjg59 To stay within your example: you check everyone for tickets because there is a lot more demand than capacity at these events (let's assume roughly every other person got a ticket). Checking for ID because 5 out of 50.000 people are barred from entry is a very different calculation, IMO.

    claudius,
    @claudius@darmstadt.social avatar

    @mjg59 especially since the measure you would suggest (checking ID) is itself easy to circumvent AND would exclude a part of this community that actually does deserve to be there.

    claudius,
    @claudius@darmstadt.social avatar

    @mjg59 checking for a ticket is also a great example on your part, because many of the smaller gatherings don't really do much of enforcing tickets. I have never been asked to present my wristband at any of the smaller conferences.

    claudius,
    @claudius@darmstadt.social avatar

    @mjg59 I reject your single-minded framing of privacy. I do not think that we will reach any kind of consensus here. That's sad, because we also agree on a lot of things. I agree that JA should have been banned from future events. I agree that it should not be up to a single, possibly traumatized, person to raise this particular issue (because this one in particular is widely known) via some kind of official channel. These are points where I think more could have been done.

    claudius,
    @claudius@darmstadt.social avatar

    @mjg59 again, I reject this framing. But the focus on privacy and anonymity of this community is widely known. This should not be a surprise to anyone, especially not to someone attending this conference.

    claudius,
    @claudius@darmstadt.social avatar

    @mjg59 that's something you'd have to take up with organizers of , but I don't think they'll read this thread of ours. They are likely occupied with something else for the next few days.

    claudius,
    @claudius@darmstadt.social avatar

    @mjg59 As I mentioned above: I believe the CCC is known for their focus on privacy. It is your framing of "over security" that is incomplete, at best. For some of the participants, privacy is central to their security.

    claudius,
    @claudius@darmstadt.social avatar

    @mjg59 in all seriousness: you're talking with someone so far removed from making any such decision. And I think for someone who has already been told to "fuck off" (your words), I've taken enough time to debate this point. I will now, as you requested, fuck off. Have a nice day.

    Two good things happened together. I got a gorgeous new Lux Lavalier pendant from @jasoncoon, which uses WS2816 LEDs for high color fidelity at low brightness, AND I discovered this clear black PLA from Hatchbox which does a reasonable job transmitting light colors while still appearing opaque. It's not as good as LED acrylic, but since it's filament, I can do a lot more with it, like make a snap-fit cover for the Lux Lavalier pendant. Looking forward to more experiments with it.

    A close up of a circular LED pendant with 64 LEDs arranged in a Fibonacci spiral, displaying a colorful twinkling LED animation. Hands reach into the frame, displaying a translucent black 3D printed cover, which is snapped over the LED pendant, resulting in a pretty light pattern diffusing through the cover while the other details of the pendant are hidden.

    I really like how the spiral pattern turns the led dots into slightly elongated streaks of light.

    @TechDesk Bluesky is not decentralised. They claim they plan it to be, but right now it is not.

    roy, to firefox

    This December, if there’s one tech New Year’s resolution I’d encourage you to have, it’s switching to the only remaining ethical web browser, Firefox. According to recent posts on social media, Firefox’s market share is slipping. We should not let that happen. There are two main reasons why switching is important.

    A red panda (firefox) resting on a tree branch.“Red Panda” by Mathias Appel is marked with CC0 1.0.1. Privacy

    Firefox is the only major browser not built by a company that makes money from advertising and/or selling your personal data. There’s been a lot of talk about websites tracking users using cookies, fingerprinting and other nefarious technologies that hurt your privacy. But owning the browser puts Google, Apple and Microsoft in a position where they don’t even need those tricks. We need to use browsers that are independent, and right now that means Firefox.

    1. Browser engine monopoly

    Wikipedia lists four browser engines as being “active”. Browser engines are the bits that take a web page’s code and display it on your screen. Ideally, they conform to the official W3C standards, and display all elements as it describes. If that’s the case, web developers can easily write sites that work on all browsers. No proprietary vendor lock-in nonsense, just glorious open standards at work.

    It’s happened before

    In the early 2000’s, Internet Explorer had a massive 95% market share. This meant that many sites were only developed for use with IE. They’d use experimental features that IE supported, in favor of things from the official HTML standard. This was a very bad situation, which hindered the development of the World Wide Web.

    Currenty, Chrome, Safari and Edge all use variations of the closely related Webkit and Blink engines. If we want to avoid another browser engine monopoly, we need to support Firefox, and its “Gecko” engine.

    Firefox is actually really good

    If Firefox would be a bad browser, I would not recommend you to switch. It’s fast, has a nice user interface, and feels every bit as modern and elegant as its competition. I’ve been using it as my main browser for a couple of years now, on Linux, Windows, MacOS and Android. As a web developer, I usually have at least three browsers open, but when I go look something up on the web, I pick Firefox.

    So please, help save the web by using the best browser out there. It’s an easy thing to do, and it makes a big difference.

    @roy I'm an unwavering Firefox user for almost two decades, but I wish they weren't taking half a billion dollars from Google.
