@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
@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.
@sneak yeah you're not really making me feel any better about you or this project right now
@aphyr forgive the intrusion, then. welcome to the fediverse, may you toot happily.
@velartrill @aphyr EU law is frequently wrong, as in this instance
@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
@videomurder @velartrill @aphyr or search engines. there is a big difference between secret data and published data.
@videomurder @velartrill @aphyr you seem to conflate the privacy practices of google with the idea that web indexing is somehow an invasion. no content can be downloaded for a request that the web server does not provide. if you put something on the web, people are allowed to download it. that’s how the web works.
@sneak @videomurder @velartrill @aphyr reading this thread has given me an overwhelming sense that we need to destroy all computers asap
@rabcyr @videomurder @velartrill @aphyr you can start with yours, i am still happy with mine and will continue using it.
@sneak This README isn't really a good look IMO.
