In the Android apps that I tried (mainly #Tusky, subway tooter, Twidere), there is currently no way to see alt text at all? At least I couldn't figure out how.

And that's a problem, really. Because I can't even tell, if I am about to boost an image without alt text, so I actually don't boost any images on the phone.

I should look into this when I find the time, I guess. But maybe you can too?

@manu @leah Not exactly, because mail is not federated like Mastodon is. When user A sends a mail from their provider PA to user B's provider PB, this can be seen as implying consent of the user that PA communicates with PB to transmit the data of the mail.

With the Fediverse, there is no single recipient - by default, *all* servers who want to can retrieve the public messages. I can make a new server PC and access all (future?) messages, even though A didn't know about PC at that time.

talk of birth control, heteronormativity? Show more

@leah I think in a sense it is a pretty big clusterfuck for any federated network, isn't it? Because the point of Masto is to send personal data to other servers, but GDPR mandates that you have some sort of contract with said servers that you rely data to, no?

Equivalently, how would you implement a "right to forget"? You don't have a contract with other servers that obliges them to delete e.g. a toot. You can't do shit. How could Masto ever be GDPR compliant?

Hey mastodon admins, the 25th may is coming closer and so the #GDPR. I don't think the Data Protection Authorities will be a big problem at the moment, they are also overwhelmed by the new regulations and they would try to solve the problem in a favorable way before sanctioning an instance.
The real problem will be lawyers trying to gain money from instances which don't follow the regulations imposed by the GDPR. So the big question is, what do we need to do to comply these rules? #mastoadmin

An der evangelischen Hochschule in Ludwigsburg fand heute ein Vortrag zum Thema Armut statt.
Funfact: Gäste müssen 30€ Eintritt bezahlen.

We are looking for a wheelchair accessible secondary school / highschool in Berlin or anywhere else in Germany. Any substantial recommendations are welcome.

Preferably with “individual rhythm” similar to Montessori and access to “gymnasiale Oberstufe”.

And yeah, part of this goes back to #deletefacebook

Facebook is user hostile.

But it's larger than that.

Modern Windows, MacOS, and even Ubuntu have some user hostile behaviors baked in.

And in the FOSS world the only real successful business model has been "give away the software, sell the support" which means that their is an incentive in FOSS to keep the documentation technical and complicated.

RTFM culture is user hostile behavior.

@ckeen Hmmm, ja vielleicht. Es ist alles so ein bisschen unklar und ich bin frustriert. Aber stimmt schon, prinzipiell könnte das klappen wenn ich wirklich keine Werbung o.ä. da drauf habe.

@ckeen @ajroach42 Das ändert nichts, die gilt weltweit. Solange du Besucher aus der EU hast, musst du dich dran halten.

@ckeen @ajroach42 Das löst das Problem nicht, weil ich dann noch mehr selbst betreibe (also noch eher Impressum usw. brauche) und nur mich von wem anders hosten lasse. Ich müsste dann laut einen Vertrag zur Auftragsdstenverarbeitung schließen usw., das ist alles mighty complicated.

Ich meine, ich habe da bisher auch kein Impressum stehen, weil ich eben nicht sehe, dass ich gewerbliche Inhalte anbiete, sondern rein private. Nur: Wordpress.com selbst schaltet natürlich Werbung.

Sieht jemand eine Alternative, wo ich mich um den Mist nicht kümmern muss und weiterhin anonym bleiben kann, außer zu einem Anbieter zu wechseln der wohl stärker als Betreiber der Website gilt?

Sonst bedeutet das, dass ich in Zukunft wohl gar nicht mehr bloggen kann. Kann doch nicht sein...

Diese treibt mich in den Wahnsinn. Ich bin kurz davor mein gesamtes Blog natanji.wordpress.com auf so einen Schmutzdienst wie medium.com umzuziehen, weil dann klar ist, dass DIE die Webseitenbetreibenden sind und ich nur User-Content da poste und mich entsprechend nicht darum kümmern muss, wie die Daten verarbeitet werden. Was ich halt überhaupt nicht wissen kann bei WordPress.com weil ich deren Interna nicht kenne!

In meinen Augen bin ich auch kein Unternehmen aber naja.

@gargron Oh, interesting, I got fooled there
