Also this made me miss Kieran Hodgson's bad #DoctorWho impressions - which were actually completely on point.

Falls der (Fach-)Arzttermin nur über #Doctolib vereinbart werden kann, geht anschließend wie folgt vor: Fordert zunächst eine Datenauskunft gemäß Art. 15 DSGVO an und veranlasst danach die Löschung eurer Daten gemäß Art. 17 DSGVO. Jedes Mal. Wirklich jedes Mal. Geht ganz einfach über Datenanfragen! 👇

Dank der DSGVO hast Du viele Datenschutz-Rechte. Wir wollen Dir helfen, diese zu nutzen. Stelle DSGVO-Anfragen an zahlreiche Unternehmen und lerne mehr über die Datenschutz-Grundverordnung und Datenschutz.Datenanfragen.de
Dabei sollte man villeicht auch ausdrücklich auf Absatz 2 hinweisen: wurden die Daten bereits an andere Weitergegeben, hat der Betreiber "angemessene Maßnahmen" zu treffen, auch dort auf eine entsprechende Löschung hinzuwirken (so versehe ich den Absatz zumindest).
Kann man da eigentlich auch eine verbindliche Bestätigung verlangen?
Climate Change Demonstration Criticised for Blocking Traffic in Spain — The Shovel
“I’m all for action on climate change, but all this demonstration does is inconvenience people. It's selfish".The Shovel
For many years I've believed that Facebook and Instagram were secretly downloading phone photos in the background. Because when you go to post a photo, it gets sent far too quickly to have done a download at the same time.
Yesterday I found this video from an Instagram founder, and damned if I wasn't right.
It doesn't appear to be all photos, just the most recent one (ones?). It's not clear from the video if it happens when you launch the app, or when you hit compose. They're doing it on the assumption you're about to post some recent photos. They claim it's okay because if you don't post it, they delete it.
That's classic Meta self-serving bullshit. The "Yeah, it's wrong, but it's okay because we're Meta and we're smart" excuse they always use.
It is not okay to upload my photos without my explicit consent. It's not okay to chew up my bandwidth when I may be deliberately trying to keep it low. IANL, but that first, frankly, sounds like class action material.
It doesn't matter that they claim to delete it. They just introduced a privacy risk. That could have been a nude of my spouse. That could have been a photo of my kid I was sending to my doctor. That could have been a photo of a contract I'm not allowed to share. All to save a few seconds they can brag about.
When Apple allowed you to selectively make photos available to app, I turned the feature on for Meta apps. This makes posting photos a pain, because Meta doesn't uses Apple's UI for choosing which photos they can see and selecting them at the same time. It's a multistep process and it isn't obvious how to do it. Ironically, it means that I rarely post to Instagram anymore. A fact that just reinforces my belief that Meta really wants full photo access and deliberately isn't fixing the issue.

Anybody know anything about the following User Agent strings?

If it is, is it used to train or is it just a client of the chatbots?ArenaBot/1.0 (+<https://arena.im/bot/;> contact@arena.im)(page is a 404; is this used to train LLMs or does an LLM use this as a client to fetch data?)SocialBeeAgent: again, used to train LLMs or a client of an LLM?Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 4_3_3 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/533.17.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0.2 Mobile/8J2 Safari/6533.18.5 Tencent/BrandProtection.

‼️ A partir de esta mañana Izquierda Unida y el Partido Comunista de Andalucia hemos abierto nuestra sede en #ElPuerto como punto solidario para las personas afectadas por la tragedia climática en Valencia.
En estos momentos difíciles para tantas personas cualquier aportación, por pequeña que sea, puede ser de gran ayuda.
Can this been fixed in the way to split the listening times to the respective months?
Just updating everyone on the advocacy I’ve been doing with Flexibits regarding Fantastical for Windows.
Flexibits have been seeking advice direct from Microsoft about improving accessibility. There is no doubt that as a company they are committed to making the experience as accessible as their products on Apple platforms. They set an aggressive schedule for getting things improved substantially, but they say they ran into a couple of issues directly with Microsoft and were not able to get all of the fixes in that they were hoping to include by the end of this week.
Flexibits tell me they are getting ready to issue a public release, version 4.0.3, that includes some fixes that should help a bit, however it is not close to being everything they are trying to improve.
So in the next release, they say we should notice some fixes to accessibility, but this is definitely not the finished product.
We can obviously lament the fact that it was released without accessibility included in the first public build, and this is regrettable, but we are where we are, and I have developed a good sense over the years of when we’re being given the run-around and when a company is genuine. I am sure they are now trying to put this right. If it gets done successfully, having Fantastical working accessibly on Windows will be a huge deal for those of us who use this app extensively on Apple platforms. I’ll keep everyone posted.
Ugh, the #chrome #extension ecosystem is exactly as bad as I'd expect.
And the fact extension is still up claiming not to collect any data even if it has been called out in one of the biggest security newsletters shows how much Google care about this (not much). The only thing they care about is pretending to ship AI features to detect malicious extensions. Because that's how you get promoted.
I mean is it even possible to report a suspicious or bad extension? I don't see anywhere
Great research by @WPalant and @c0m4r
And @campuscodi for putting the spotlight on it.
the worst is that you can block "Shorts" with an uBlock Origin rules. No need of a new extension.
Oh wait...
Oh, neat! A new open source app for Fuji cameras.
Currently Android and WiFi only, just supporting transfers so far. Bluetooth is planned, as is location support. Desktop and iOS versions are listed on the roadmap.

Hi, humans.
If you like me (and we like, at least sometimes talk) and would be interested in joining a potential discord server I create, feel free to give me a shout.
Can't promise anything, as these thing usually go, but I'd like to have people I like around and stuff.
@menelion I wish I got the appeal.

#kraftwerk’s mighty Autobahn is 50 years old today!
Imagine listening to it back then, this amazing 22 minute electronic track that captures the joy (and boredom) of a long drive on the autobahn.
It remains stunning and fresh now, let alone how mindblowing it must’ve been in ‘74
