This morning i woke up with this bad news: an old university friend (32) killed by a falling rock in Jordan, where he was visiting with his wife and other relatives.
He was just married the last summer with the girlfriend he was with 14y before. Can't imagine how she's feeling.
Speechless.

♲ @emanuele@quey.org: Did you know #Google is collecting data from every page on the open web that relies on Google Fonts?
Here you are some public stats: fonts.google.com/analytics
(the best data, for sure, they will keep for them).

@tealturtle "Homeopathic" products still should be checked for whether it has funny stuff in it though.
It's still to be ingested/injected, so some assurances need to be that it really is e.g. a harmless sugar pill and not something less harmless. -

@clacke It is somewhat disappointing when mundane suspicions that I've had about Google Fonts turn out to be well-founded. -

@schestowitz Aligns well with the Microsoft's new policy to kill Firefox off (and every other non-Chromium web browser). -

Made a little video illustrating quality of malware detection by antiviruses for Windows (Avast in particular): https://i.imgur.com/MLt1Ajw.mp4
I've got to wonder how many users think that it really does protect them from "threats" when stuff like this happens.
More threats may be lurking! You just never know… -

@schestowitz 3 hours to replace an expired TLS certificate sounds perfectly reasonable… for Microsoft. -

@schestowitz They changed the default in GIMP 2.10.
It's easy to toggle back from https://gimp.org/release-notes/gimp-2.8.html#single-window-mode -

Hey everyone. Digging up my Hubzilla account to talk about some #wiki and #writing stuff. As a fiction writer on the side, thinking about distribution of my work has been a longstanding issue. It's why I am using Asciidoc for formatting my writing.
Which works when I have access to my laptop. But not so much when I'm on the go. Same goes with Leo Editor. Love it, but I can't access it on my phone.
So I've been bouncing around between scribbling items in Standard Notes, crossposting them with write.as or the Articles part of Hubzilla if needed, and even a few tiddlywikis. They all work for quickly getting things down, but now it's all disorganized again. Which is kind of awkward. S:
I've been thinking of using something like A Muse Wiki for dumping my creative writing items into since it's specially designed for publication.
What've other authors in the Fediverse been using for publishing their fiction and making sure it's downloadable in easy to read formats? -

@lnxw48a1 There's just no current maintainer.
It's that Gecko vulnerability, it's been fixed in the mainline, of course. -

@noyoushutthefuckupdad Be aware that #Startpage was apparently bought by an advertising analytics company. https://restoreprivacy.com/startpage-system1-privacy-one-group/ Probably not a search engine to recommend any more, even if you're willing to take the risk for your own searches. -

@thegibson @lnxw37a2 @mewmew @mangeurdenuage @lnxw48a1 @simsa03 @moonman @dude Dr. Skrzyk did write that he's okay with how the licence in the footer is now, so it seems like this is over.
Except that I didn't change the footer and it looks just like it was before.
I did add extra links there to address him not being able to find contact information though, but this was after that.
Weird. But if it is all good, then it is all good. -

> It sounds like @drskrzyk tried to go that route first.
@thegibson @simsa03 @mewmew @mangeurdenuage @lnxw48a1 @lnxw37a2 @moonman @dude It wasn't made clear how to reach out, so I do get the issue here.
The way it happened for me is roughly as follows: he wrote to the datacentre about a "copyright violation", of course everyone took it very seriously and what I got on my plate is an ultimatum to resolve this no matter what, or else.
His request can be interpreted as a "remove me", so that's how the person who provides the virtual machine approached this. I removed it the moment I saw it however, as I think that even though it got scary for us, it can be, and therefore should be, resolved through communication. -

> I don't think I've been affected yet, but I'm a content creator and I don't want anyone to use my work for commercial and derivative works, etc. just because they might have found it thru your instance.
@ellakane That makes sense.
However, there's a different issue here, that's been talked about for years, yet Mastodon chose not to address (if they have, I have not seen it) by just hoping it doesn't really matter: when a notice goes through the Fediverse, it is being re-distributed, possibly even commercially, so if a notice is not clearly licensed, it may even be illegal to federate it.
But I'm guy an instance admin, that footer is the default of GNU social, the software that started the Fediverse and has been the mainline of it for many years.
I think the only reason I got to be in the centre of all this is because search engines like !loadaverage for some reason. And because that's not the first time this caused problems, GNU social nightly now asks "robots" not to index remote profiles.
