Die #Nextcloud macht mich irgendwann noch mal wahnsinnig. Nun habe ich gerade ein Verzeichnis mit Fotos erstellt, dann über einen Link mit Passwortschutz freigegeben. Leider kann man die Dateien nicht herunterladen, es kommt diese Fehlermeldung:

Fehler Datei kann nicht heruntergeladen werden. Fehlende Signatur

Das soll eigentlich ein Cloudspeicher sein, hochladen und teilen von Dateien ist die Ursprüngliche Funktion davon, warum bekommen die das nicht richtig gebacken, jedesmal gibt es Probleme damit.

The lights have been on at a #Massachusetts #school for over a year because no one can turn them off

Source: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/lights-massachusetts-school-year-no-one-can-turn-rcna65611

The lighting system was installed at #Minnechaug Regional High School when it was built over a decade ago and was intended to save #money and #energy. But ever since the #software that runs it failed on Aug. 24, 2021, the lights in the #Springfield suburbs school have been on continuously, costing taxpayers a small fortune.

...

“After many weeks of effort, we were provided a rough estimate in excess of $1.2 Million to comparably replace the entire system,” ...

God said: "Let there be light!", but Jesus did not find the switch. At that school, the problem was the other way around.

It's interesting how something like this would be a reason for many to give up on a free desktop made by 10s of people, but even though we're speaking multi-billion dollar company here, this hardly makes news when it happens on Windows:

I tend to launch most programs on my Windows 10 laptop by typing the key, then a few letters of the program name, and then hitting enter. On my powerful laptop (SSD and 32 GB of RAM) this process usually takes as long as it takes me to type these characters, just a fraction of a second. Usually. Sometimes, however, it takes longer. A lot longer. As in, tens of seconds.

Internet

I'm really annoyed by the #Internet of today:

  • #Trackers and #data #collection everywhere
  • #JavaScript-heavy #Web #applications instead of document-oriented #websites
  • No #JavaScript most often translates to an empty page with a single sentence: "Please activate JavaScript"; the page content however is often nothing that actually requires JavaScript, the website creators just want to feel like actual #application #developers, so they re-build much of what the #browser already supplies with #inefficient and #bug heavy JavaScript code
  • Content almost always behind a #login wall
  • More often than not only very superficial #information
  • #Ads
  • Thousands of 3rd party JS files included, most of which have the only purpose of tracking you across websites
  • #Misinformation and #biased #information everywhere
  • Deliberately misleading advertisment, sich as "save 80% now", and artificial time pressure)
  • "Best viewed on #Google #Chrome"
  • "Login with Facebook"
  • Newsletter subscription and cookie pop-ups featuring #dark #patterns
  • #Search #engine #optimization ( #SEO ) acts in the worst interest of the user by skewing search results
  • Artificial restriction of web #app functionality to promote their native apps
  • Large parts of the Web are only accessible by #smartphone
  • You have to provide your #phone #number to login
  • If you didn't provide a phone number, your account is being blocked right after the initial login because we suspect you being malicious actor because why not (=> #Instagram, #Facebook)
  • #Proprietary #platforms are required to participate in public #online life (Amazon, Google, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube)
  • One-sentence-paragraphs and sloppy language (especially found in #Medium #articles)
  • "We care about your #privacy" actually means: "We were forced by law to do this shit, we just want to collect and store as much information on you as possible to make money off of you now or in an undescript future"
  • JavaScript code minimizer
  • Large font sizes, much whitespace, large illustrative, but useless images, HD screen required to browse most websites
  • Lack of #government #regulation and #law #enforcement, too many malicious actors (#spam, #phishing, etc.)
  • Emotional content to increase #interaction, #clickbait

Once being an open platform geared towards information exchange and bringing people into contact, most of the public Internet today is nothing but annoying useless #marketing, #advertising and #data #collection. Providing information, connecting people, and making life convenient is definitely NOT the primary goal of whoever is big on the Internet today. It's shocking to see how much of it is only to sell you stuff or to sell your information.

And the worst is: we are even paying them to do this shit. #Marketing spending will be reflected in product prices, and with much of marketing being done in 1st world countries, a substantial amount of the price goes into this destructive industry.

I could go on with this for hours. Really sick of it.

security.txt

A proposed #standard which allows websites to define #security #policies.

Take a look: https://securitytxt.org

“When security risks in web services are discovered by independent security researchers who understand the severity of the risk, they often lack the channels to disclose them properly. As a result, security issues may be left unreported. security.txt defines a standard to help organizations define the process for security researchers to disclose security vulnerabilities securely.”

[Le #PIRE d’ #Octobre] – Nos #migrants ont du #talent ! - #TroubleFait

Voici le Pire d’octobre dans la nouvelle formule en direct.
Comme vous pouvez le voir, j’ai eu du mal à faire court ^^ je dois encore trouver mes marques dans la préparation et la présentation des sujets. L’objectif est d’arriver à un résultat proche des pires du mois écrit… mais sans les écrire. Garder une bonne dose de spontanéité, sans être trop dispersé.
Il me faudra plusieurs épisodes pilotes pour trouver le bon dosage.
N’hésitez pas à me faire vos retours (constructif 😉 )

#Suggestion for Diaspora mobile version

#Bug #Diaspora #Mobilr
I'm using it on Firefox and have to change the sharing to "public" for every post.

Is there a way to fix it? On desktop, my default setting to share public is accepted, but on m.diasp.org or any other pod it is not.

Also, it would be really nice to have a "new" icon on the desktop version like we have on the mobile. It would make things so muceasiee.
