So yeah, bottom line: I will not tolerate this identity verification bullshit on any platform.
I will not allow my absence from said platforms to dictate my ability to participate in public life.
And I will build spaces that respect and empower my neighbors.
It’s going to be inconvenient, but it’s also punk as hell, and the right thing to do.
Finally, to the authoritarian pricks trying to destroy my home, online and off; fuck you, I hope you choke.
As age-verification bullshit becomes more common, I am determined to simply not participate in any service or video game that requires it. The day I see the prompt, is the day I leave.
Maybe the government’s hope is that I stop participating in society, but I assure you that I will not. I’ll find or build alternatives, and refuse to comply with bad law.
I hope you will, too.
And as a silver lining, maybe the weird internet we end up creating as a result will suck less than the current one.
#Heliboard is gathering gesture typing data, so that we can implement a #FOSS alternative to the closed gesture typing library Heliboard currently relies on. The data we collect will be released under the CC BY-SA 4.0
I also made a video including details & instructions.
Boosts Please! The greater the diversity of people & languages in the data, the better we can test for correctness.

Call to action to cis people: be assholes anytime you get asked for your sex assigned at birth. Write letters, complain to staff, refuse to answer. Make it impossible to collect sex assigned at birth. Be really offended that anyone would ask you. Make enough noise that if trans people want to quietly not answer or give whatever answer feels correct to them, no one will notice.
Hmm... Well.... I thought at least a good year about these questions and did not yet come up with better words.
I mean, yes, our journalists are creators, which clarifies that. But then our users would be consumers and thats not better. And I cant call them journalists as not every user is one. So client maybe? But that would be a better fit for the Organizations as they are the ones talking with sales and paying the money.
All in all: I really am at a loss for better words here.
Nonetheless, thank you for your time 🙏🏻
I do know about bounded contexts and DDD. Our code is structured to make clear in which context we move. I guess its more of a "Ubiquitious Language" Problem when talking with people about what we need to do and what not.
Did I mention that not *all* our "users" are journalists? Some are just "consumers". So I still need a word to mean both at the same time as they are the ones to get authorized to different parts/services of our Software.
My problem with using person vor journalist is as follows:
- The Organizations are the actual, paying customers (Sales domain, but also grouping element for authorization checks)
- We have journalists on both ends of our software. *our* journalists produce news which the customers journalists use to write their news
- people are everywhere in our system. So we need words to differentiate between them
What would be an alternative to the word User?
In my dayjob we have Organizations aka "Customers" with groups of "Users" who use our service for their journalistic work.
Here's to all the kids who were born with non-default settings; to all you who put the effort in to figure yourselves out.
You're amazing and deserve to be celebrated.
I'm glad you're here 💝
re @claudeai
I've identified industrial-scale copyright violations on my content by Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, X, and more.
These companies created thousands of crawlers incorporating the text of all my blog posts, open source code, and books into their paid AI models to profit exorbitantly.
So, nun kann ich es ja ganz offiziell machen, und in die Welt hinausposaunen.
Das freundliche #LMAA 😁 - aka "Liste Möglicher #Amazon #Alternativen" - ist nun erwachsen geworden!
Kein nerdiges Git-Repo mehr, mit dem ich das Gros der Menschys vom Mitmachen ausschließe.
Ich hoffe euch gefällt es und ihr seht einen Nutzen für euch darin. Natürlich freue ich mich über euer Feedback sowie konstruktive Kritik. Findet ihr Fehler, dann meldet sie mir.
Ansonsten teilt, shared, boosted was das Zeugs hält. Alle Peeps sollen davon erfahren. 😀
What if... you had one Fedi account on a generic headless #ActivityPub server that simply hosts and federates your data... and had C2S UIs for microblogging, long form writing, media editing and sharing, link aggregation, games, fitness tracking, and so on, that all used that same Fedi account. Technically, it's a similar concept as ATProto (but no relay and app view) and Solid Pods (but no RDF).
It seems possible... if we can improve the AP C2S API/protocol sufficiently.
@GegenAutogewalt
Es reicht halt der eine mensch im auto der dich plattfährt, während du ausrutscht, ausweichst or whatever. Und es reicht auch der 7 in der schlang auf der bundesstraße hinter Dir, der denkt, er schaffts noch an dir vorbeizukommn. Du liegst im grabn danach und no one gives a fuck.
Daher ist autogewalt halt schon richtig aus sicht der radfahrys. Was da passiert bei insbesondere dem zu engen überholen ist gewalt. Und was im nachgang justiz und exekutive draus machen wird zu manifestierter struktureller gewalt.
Der punkt den man bei diesem strukturproblem auch mit sehen sollte, ist, dass die gewalt auch weiter geht. Immer nach unten. Wir sehen uns die nächstbeste Fußgängerzone an, gleich ob mit fahrrad frei schildern oder nicht und sehen dann dasselbe strukturproblem im verhältnis fahrrad und fußgänger. Klar sterben da wenig leute dran, weil weniger energie im system ist. Aber ich hab mich auch schon an den lenker von sonem fußgängerspezialexperten stellen müssen damit mein stöpsel nicht vom rad umgefetzt wird.
Gewalt isses. Autogewalt ist das richtige Wort. Wenn sich leute davon überfahren fühlen, ist das für mich so, wie die ganzen männer im Feminismus Thema, die sich angegriffen f7hlen, wenn man ihnen sagt, dass sie mal mit ihren männerfreunden reden müssen, weil das thema noch nicht durch ist.
Die ganzen "braven" autofahrys können einfach den radfahry nicht überholen. Das geht. Hinterherfahren ist ne super option. Besseren Schutz fürn mensch aufm zweirad als das wirds akkut nicht geben.

Persona’s exposed code compares your selfie to watchlist photos using facial recognition, screens you against 14 categories of adverse media from mentions of terrorism to espionage, and tags reports with codenames from active intelligence programs consisting of public-private partnerships to combat online child exploitative material, cannabis trafficking, fentanyl trafficking, romance fraud, money laundering, and illegal wildlife trade.
Once a user verifies their identity with Persona, the software performs 269 distinct verification checks and scours the internet and government sources for potential matches...

So to keep kids safe from online predators, we're willing to *horribly* invade their privacy and sell all their data to predators? I see the system is working as intended 😮💨
Hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software, Persona. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet, and that was just the beginning.
Weil mir auf Socialmedia immer wieder nur die bis 2021 begegnet - mal aktualisiert mit Quellenangabe.
"Decades of collective work proving that “open source” is not less but at least as secure as commercial offerings now slowly going down the drain. Because a bunch of men – and it is always all men – just don’t want to be responsible for their actions. Which is fine if you are 5. But after 18 it gets old really fucking fast."
