Google’s new reCAPTCHA has a dark side
The latest version of the bot detector reCaptcha is invisible to users and has spread to more than 650,000 websites. It’s great for security—but not so great for your privacy.Katharine Schwab (Fast Company)

Hey, Plusporans!
I posted this as a reply to someone who was reposting the announcement about the issues Pluspora was having lately, but I figured I would post this just in general.
I would like to extend an open invitation to you and anyone who is wanting or needing to setup another fediverse account (due to the unfortunate circumstances at Pluspora) to come check out Friendica. Our friendly Friendica instances speak many languages, so they reach in to many other parts of the fediverse - the GNU Socials, Pleromas, Mastondons, etc, as well as Hubzillas and of course, Diasporas. This invitation is not to dissuade from choosing any particular path, but as I don't see enough cheering for all the great improvements that go in to Friendica all the time, I figure I'd make some noise, especially in light of the changes (or possible changes?) going on at Pluspora.
Feel free to try out a Friendica account at https://social.isurf.ca (I've been running this instance since April 2018) or at any instance that might be close and comfortable geographically - you can find a list at https://the-federation.info/friendica
Heck, even if one has had an account on a Friendica instance in the past, there's been a great number of improvements over the past couple of years.
Have a great day, hope all is well, and we look forward to seeing you wherever you wind up!

I used to love visiting Cahokia Mounds as a kid; the place is fascinating. Apparently the vast majority of the site also remains unexcavated…wonder what else is hiding there….

Saw a couple goldfinches outside of my window a few days ago! Thinking about setting out some thistle to see if I can attract a few more.

Of course, OF COURSE the fucking operator of that famous excavator trying to free the ever given is both a sub-contractor and still hasn't been paid for all of his fucking OT work yet.

lets say joe and john are very similar.
joe opts out.
but john is still in.
so you can learn things about joe from watching john.
it's not enough for a small minority to opt out.

COVID Moonshot Candidate Molecules
All of the substances displayed on this site are designed to be biologically active. The prediction of toxic effects remains an extremely difficult problem. Therefore all materials described here should be treated as having high biological activity with a risk of severe toxicity which may include, but is not limited to: cardiac impairment up to and including the risk of causing cardiac arrest, irreversible liver or renal damage, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, teratogenicity (risk to the unborn child) and, or generation of a severe allergic response. Unless otherwise stated, no material has been profiled for toxicological effects and therefore no materials should under any circumstances be synthesised and taken for any therapeutic or recreational effect by any person or for any other purpose.covid.postera.ai
I did a thing!
Made another raised bed to put in the yard. This one is going to grow lots of lettuce and other greens...hopefully.

Even with just a 1:1 mixture of compost:manure, most things did pretty well. Unfortunately we underestimated the affinity for a squash plant we started from a store-bought squash seed for the bed, it ended up dominating everything else:

Sorry for the direct mention, but I'm having trouble with Friendica groups. I can't see any posts except my own from a few months ago. I can still get feeds of people in my network timeline. I also left and then tried to re-add the Friendica Admins group, admins@forum.friendi.ca, but I can't seem to re-add it.
Was wondering if it was a weird database issue or if my nginx config is doing something weird again. I was having issues with redis recently so not sure if that's an issue. Thanks for any tips you have.

You don't see any previous posts. But you can always go to the forum page, take a message link and paste it into your search to import it.

Okay. That's good to know if I need any other posts from the past! Maybe it was hung on on using a different protocol (I've followed the forum.friendi.ca groups ever since I started up my node. It seems like at least un-following and then re-adding the group restored communication.
Well it can't last forever. Pretty sure my desktop graphics card gave up the ghost today, and now my computer won't boot. Trying to scrape through eBay for a decent upgrade and found a 590x for a decent price. Hope that helps it boot back up! #hardware

Thanks! My motherboard has the error code display built in, so I’m pretty sure it’s due to a graphics card firmware corruption issue.

#friendica #admins , just a heads up.
dear follow #diasporians
i have the hint, there will soon come a wave of #maga - #trumpsters accounts to #diaspora, the older of you might remember on the #wave of #daesh - and #isis accounts yeras ago, when #twitter #silenced their accounts and i think, the #antifa -fellows here in diaspora , the diasporians who have no sympathy to trump or his #whitepower -footsoldiers, the people here, who dont sympathizes with #racism #fascism #homophobia #sexism or (yes, you read right, i wrote OR! which says a lot about this time) #antisemitism the #liberals here, we should be prepared and think about, how to counter that, i dont want diaspora to become the brown echochamber for #conspiracy-ideology, for that #qanon lunacy or this #trump -bullshit
share that, think about that, debate about that, stopping #fascism when you can, not, when its allready to late, #antifascists predicted that allready years ago and itz no #fun anymore, itz no fun, to play #cassanda and beeing right #now itz the time to defeat #fascist #hatespeech here on diaspora, not tomorow, not next week, ITZ NOW!this is a call to your keyboards!
please share!
you get a funny, hopefully prophetic picture as reward
ps if you want to support the cause and you think i missed important points, feel free to rephrase that posting or write something in the comments or a pm, feel free to "follow"me (maybe a little warning, i am an antifa, i am really i left wing communist and i am a pro-zionist and i am a militant, we can argue about that, we can have debates or, if you dont like that, make your own post about it, if itz antifascist, i will support it, i love you!)
