Wann lernen die User es eigentlich?
Das System ist immer das gleiche!
#User bezahlen für eine App wie #Komoot Xy € und füttern diese #kostenlos mit Inhalt.
Dann werden die #Daten verkauft....
Nehmt #opensource Alternativen rund um #openstreetmap wie #organicMaps, #osmand und viele mehr
Diese #tracken auch nicht und der #Datenschutz ist wesentlich besser!
The culling of #GSA’s #18F in particular, a specialized #digital services agency tasked w/improving #user experience w/govt services & helping #FederalAgencies build & buy a variety of #tech, has crippled programs that silently but effectively prepared Americans for #weather #disasters or streamlined tasks, like renewing a #passport or filing #taxes. Over the wknd, ~90 technologists at 18F were fired via surprise email that went out shortly before 1AM ET on Sat morning.
New #Botnet on the loose?
A surge of accounts from gtmastodon.online / mastodon.gtmastodon.online has emerged, all seemingly following a limited number of #MastodonSocial users.
Is this a coordinated effort? If so, what is the goal?

We are starting with a new weekly feature: "Behind the Image" where a #photographer of a #winning #image, or an image selected as "Editor's Choice" describes the #process behind creating the image. First up is Night Vision by David Soderlund (DaveSoderlund) Enjoy!

Für User, die andere User suchen oder sich sonstwie vernetzen möchten, gibt es mittlerweile verschiedene Verzeichnisse für das #Fediverse.
ICH finde das nützlich, verstehe aber auch die Bedenken diesbezüglich, die einige User immer mal wieder äußern. Jedoch bleibe ich dabei, dass es jedem User selbst überlassen sein sollte, sich in so ein Verzeichnis einzutragen - oder auch nicht. Also bitte keine Grundsatzdiskussion unter diesem Beitrag, es soll lediglich der Information dienen.
Bislang kenne ich 3 Verzeichnisse, vielleicht gibt es ja noch mehr?
-> fediverse.info Ein "Fediverse People Directory", in dem man sich selbst ganz einfach eintragen kann. Lediglich ein bestimmer Hashtag muss in der eigenen Bio seines Fediverse-Accounts eingetragen werden, dann kann man seine Daten in das Verzeichnis eingeben.
-> Fedikarte.de Wunderbar und mit viel Liebe programmiert, auch hier kann man sich eigenständig ein- und austragen.
-> mastodir | Das Mastodon-Verzeichnis Hier kann man User vorschlagen, die "interessant" sind.
#fediverse, #verzeichnis, #people, #directory, #fedikarte, #user, #usersuche, #vernetzt, #vernetzung, #neuhier, #fediserve, , #mastodir, #gemeinsamstatteinsam
In case the #SupremeCourt accepts the interdiction of #TikTok in the #USA because of the #risk that #China might covertly use it to manipulate the content shown to #Americans or collect #user #data to achieve its #geopolitical aims,it should be discussed in other #countries ,such as the #EU member #states , #Canada , #Japan ,if they should follow suit, and possibly extend the measure to #ElonMusk 's #X ,as this #socialnetwork now also clearly threatens their national security in a similar way.
Time flies when you are having fun! April 30th 2020 is the official launch of #Nikonians, making us 25 years young this year, yeah! The team is planning several things and will post updates as that progress.

Post-userism

@alexskunz Custom settings, depending on the camera. e.g. 'd7'."On" continues file numbering from the last numbered file. "Off" resets the number to 0001 each time a new card or new folder is inserted or created. => Then: Create a new folder. You can set it to a specific number between 0001 and 9999 by placing a file in the current shooting folder with a number one less than you wish to start at.

@jupiter_rowland OFC this is also due to the fact that the last 50+ years no serious attempt at teaching #TechLiteracy has been done anywhere in a formal matter.
Luckily #Education and #Knowledge isn't monopolized and Initiatives like @cryptoparty / #CryptoParty exist that basically get #TechIlliterates to a level that if they follow up what has been trained don't act as "#UnofficialEmployees" of #NSAbook et. al.
Either way, we'll all have to take part in making the world better, even if that meremy means not contribute to #Enshittification...
OFC that is a constant struggle.
@DeltaWye @SynAck @Kuniti_shino @ErikUden OFC that's the nature of most services tht are open t new users.
#Shitter (rather #Teitter before #Mus ruined it!) had #API #RateLimiting to make #Spamming less effective (255 Statuses per 24hrs) even back when #TweetDeck was a seperate company...
It won't prevent it entirely but make it more cumbersome.
This prevents remediation and correction of #banlists & #blocklists, leaving a lot if domains burned forever as the only.options are "replace" and "merge" and the average #ActivityPub admin or even #User isn't going to learn or setup a #git!
I.e. there isn't really a good way to combat #Typosquatting-based #Phishing beyond banning.offending domains...
@SecurityWriter what if I told you that #Microyoft never was interested in the betterment for the #User or #Customer but only on #maximizing #profit no matter the cost?
I hope you too can make the switch...
No #government should rip #freedom from the hands of its people, forcing them to give up their freedom to run, study, modify, and share software. When it comes to government infrastructure, #citizens often have no options: they have to use it. Therefore, government infrastructure should always respect its #user's freedom!

…now across from Thems at the top of this toot row: OK, this explains why I have some new followers (welcome to the Fediverse) and also why my pinned toot has been shared so many times.

Hey, #Americans ...
What the hell is up with your #NOAA and its website? Went to look at information on #hurricane #Milton, here:
https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/graphics_at4.shtml?start#contents
The whole damn report is an #image, including all of the #words. There's no way for a #blind #user to get the warning from this page - there's no alt-text, no repeat of the report contents as actual HTML text below it, nothing.
Is your government's official position "blind people don't need hurricane info"? If so, why?

“#Google remains the undisputed leader in #collecting, #analyzing, and #processing #user #data globally.”
@caoimhin @darth I explicitly disagree on that specific point because if #Jolla really wanted to be better then they'd at least have to provide absolute basics EVERY SINGLE #Android device I've ever seen has!
#RightToRepair means that the #vendor doesn't actively inhibit #repairs or #paywalls them.
I mean, if I wanted to be downgraded into a "#User & #Consumer without #Rights" I'd buy an #iPhone or #Kindle "#Kids" device...
