@izalia @koyu@koyu.space putting webpages up on the internet and serving requests to the unauthenticated public *is* consent. publish or don’t, but once you publish, the data is available to the public for research. that’s how the web works. that’s how search engines work.

@videomurder @velartrill @aphyr or search engines. there is a big difference between secret data and published data.

@videomurder @velartrill @aphyr you can’t have a right to be forgotten as you don’t have the right to delete data from the drives of others

@velartrill @aphyr EU law is frequently wrong, as in this instance

@dryad the biggest/fastest iphone available, using toot!. i figured out i can log out of all but one account but add other logged-out servers, then i can fav/boost and it will prompt me to use the logged in account.

@ElfLord @Mainebot what would happen then if they did that

@alex i have several domains like that... need to think of ideas for them

@aphyr forgive the intrusion, then. welcome to the fediverse, may you toot happily.

@amolith@masto.nixnet.xyz i'm confused; it seems to operate from the premise that site operators aren't permitted to choose those to whom they would serve content; but it seems plain to me that they are. cloudflare can't victimize anyone by denying them access (as that site claims), as no one is *entitled* to access anyone else's server if that server operator doesn't permit them to.

@aphyr i am aware that my opinions are unpopular; i wanted to get it out of the way up front for anyone who thinks that they can grant people the right to view their tweets in a browser but not grant them a right to save them. i appreciate the feedback, though! the code is a work in progress, i want to reconstruct as much of the public ActivityPub firehose as possible and archive/index it.

@dryad i don't use android as a daily driver

@aphyr i am sad you are in birdsite gaol but also i am glad you are here. here is some janky code i hacked together recently that does useful things with toots: https://github.com/sneak/feta

@dryad also i can't figure out how to like/boost your messages; your instance's UI buttons don't seem to work, and my mastodon instance doesn't show me your recent toots after i follow you. bummer

@dryad i am working on some software and it randomly showed me your recent toot and i couldn't agree more (re: censorship). thank you for speaking up about it! i feel like i have a minority opinion when i say "censorship should be left to the end-user, not their admin".

this shit is so gross
