heiseonline, to random German EuGH-Gutachter für Vorratsdatenspeicherung im Kampf gegen Urheberrechtsverstöße
Bereits zum zweiten Mal gibt sich ein EuGH-Generalanwalt überzeugt, dass eine Vorratsspeicherung von IP-Adressen zur Durchsetzung von Urheberrechten legal ist.
dyfustic, @heiseonline Urheberrecht… wir sind so tief gesunken.
Ooops, @dyfustic
Dachtest du es gab je andere Gründe? Selbst die Möglichkeit Bürger zu politischen Zwecken auszuspionieren ist nur ein Nebenschauplatz... solange bis jemand an die Regierung kommt, der sich über die existierende Möglichkeit freut.
heiseonline, to random German Echsenähnlicher Inspektionsroboter kriecht in Wände und Rohre
Ein flexibler Roboter soll in Wände kriechen, um den Sanierungsbedarf von Gebäuden festzustellen.
640KB, German @heiseonline In was für Wände soll das Ding kriechen? Meine Wände sind massiv.
Ooops, German @640KB
Auch die Außenwände? Die haben nämlich normalerweise 'ne nicht-massive Dämmschicht. Oder, wenn das Gebäude als genug ist, 'nen Hohlraum, der im begrenzten Maße das selbe leisten soll.
mohaneds, to random Random Thought: I wonder when modern neurotransmitters evolved. The neurotransmitters we know and love (serotonin, gaba, glutamate, dopamine, epinephrine/norepinephrine, histamine ETC) are in use by mammals and reptiles, so i'm guessing like 10-20 million years ago. #science #neuroscience
ButterflyOfFire, to random I have reported 1 billion spam 🥲
gunchleoc, @ButterflyOfFire I add this link when I report the current wave: https://mastodon.de/@ErikUden/111940301222380638
janettespeyer, to random Who can see my posts? I am super curious as to how far this #activitypub can travel? Learning the #fediverse is interesting but a tad confusing for the laypeople like me. If anyone has an analogy do share. Visualizations help. #mastodon #server #instances
Pamasich, @janettespeyer I just saw this post from kbin, a Reddit alternative on the fediverse.
Em0nM4stodon, to random Fediverse Question 🎶👀:
I'm not a fan of YouTube,
and certainly not of Google (as you might have noticed...), but one thing I'm addicted to YouTube for is instrumental long playlists of music to work.
I. Need. It :blobcatheadphones:🎵Since I'm always looking for new ways to deGooglelify my life:
Do you know of any PeerTube equivalent for this?
Are there any instrumental long playlists/mixes for work on any PeerTube instances?
Or maybe another Fediverse platform would be preferable for this?

hrefna, to random What I personally want more than a good test suite in #ActivityPub, and possibly a lower bar, is a good reference implementation.
Specifically, I'd want something that:
- Implements all nontrivial requirements of the spec.
- Implements a significant percentage of the data vocabulary
- Can handle a nontrivial amount of traffic. It doesn't need to be optimized for it, but it can't fall over in a stiff breeze—analysis should be comparable to analysis of a prod system, just at smaller scale
hrefna, I think in many ways a test suite would be more generally useful, but part of what I personally find challenging is simply determining what it even means to "handle a response."
A reference implementation would solve this.
I know of a few efforts in this regard, but most of them seem to have an iron triangle around the three criteria above:
One or two of the three only. Never all three together.
So far I have developed some heuristics when looking at implementations here.
Pamasich, to kbinMeta @ernest
I've noticed this week that I'm currently seeing no visual indication that the boost button is active. No underline, color, or anything.
It seems that a now-broken userstyle I'm using expects there to be an "active" class applied to the element, but it isn't anymore. Is that intentional?
Figured I should point this out to you in case you don't know already.
ThatOneKirbyMain2568, @Pamasich @ernest Can confirm that this is an issue. I brought attention to it a short while back, and there are also some bugs with the visuals for vote buttons not consistently working as they should.
Dieinahole, to fediverse Why is kbin so broken?
404's everywhere, "we're working on it" signs everywhere else.
Like sure, not being able to find my response in the pile of thread sounds like Linux problems, but how is this not loading faster and better than reddit?
ono, My understanding is that it got a big surge of users at a time when it wasn’t really intended for the public, and is now having growing pains.
genesis, to kbinMeta Why are the microblogs not working properly?
testing, @genesis i get your question! what does annoy you the most?
datacequia, to random Any books being published about #activitypub ?
liaizon, @datacequia @evan is currently working on one now and there have been a few published in Japanese over the years and one was published in Catalan last year
MisuseCase, to meta All these folks tut-tutting about various #fediverse instances preemptively blocking #threads should be aware that many instances are taking this step because Threads is full of #transphobic and outright fascist types that #meta is either unable or unwilling to moderate and instance admins are just treating it the same way they would any other instance that has that issue.
ErictheCerise, 90+% of instances should be blocking Threads just because of their normal moderation policy, not because "it's Meta".
The question people should be asking is, why aren't instances blocking Threads, when it clearly violates their content policy? (Lookin' at you Mastodon.social)
darnell, to random A few #Fediverse suggestions for #Flipboard https://darnell.day/a-few-fediverse-suggestions-for-flipboard
Too Long; Did Not Read:
👉🏾 Federating Flipboard magazines using subdomains. Instead of following all sports news from @espn you could follow #NFL magazine via @espn
👉🏾 Verification for prominent accounts & organizations (needed now as the masses on #Threads will be activating #ActivityPub next year)
👉🏾 Custom domains (Premium feature)
CC: @mike
mike, @darnell This is so awesome! Thank you for putting the time to pull this together Darnell. I've already sent this to my board in email and flipped it into the Flipboard Team Magazine which is our private mag where we share posts together as a team. Will come back to you with thoughts next.
timbray, to random I don’t believe the EEE narrative about Threads federation. The number of #fediverse citizens isn’t large enough to justify the (substantial) investment in Fedi/Masto/ActivityPub interop if the goal is just to bring them to Meta. @mosseri explicitly said that the goal was to enable people to move off Threads and I believe him, because…
timbray, …All the Big Techs are under considerable political pressure to be less lockin-y and more interoperable. Especially in the EU. If any Threads user is free to step over to some Masto/Akkoma/whatever instance, it’s hard for any regulatory agency or politician to make a case that Meta is locking people in.
