Sono molto felice di poter vedere i lavori che decidi di condividere senza essere costretto ad utilizzare un software in particolare, e senza nemmeno dovermi per forza creare un account da qualche parte !
L'onnipresente microchip #ESP32, prodotto dal produttore cinese Espressif e utilizzato in oltre 1 miliardo di unità a partire dal 2023, contiene una backdoor non documentata che potrebbe essere sfruttata per attacchi.
I comandi non documentati consentono lo spoofing di dispositivi attendibili, l'accesso non autorizzato ai dati, il passaggio ad altri dispositivi sulla rete e, potenzialmente, l'istituzione di una persistenza a lungo termine.
Lo hanno scoperto i ricercatori spagnoli Miguel Tarascó Acuña e Antonio Vázquez Blanco di Tarlogic Security, che hanno presentato ieri i loro risultati al RootedCON di Madrid.
E' proprio una di quelle che contiene il chip di cui parla nell'articolo. Non l'ho mai usata, ma a questo punto vorrei sapere se sia ancora il caso di usarla! 😅
@informapirata > > @cage puoi usarla, ma non in contesti in cui la riservatezza è importante
Prima vorrei capire (se ci riesco) cosa facciano questi comandi non documentati, il sommario in spagnolo e' molto piu' cauto, tanto che non mi sembra parlare proprio di backdoor; pero' si indica il chip come possibile veicolo di attacchi. Ma senza conoscere i dettagli non posso dire nulla di solido. Speriamo che pubblichino qualcosa di circostanziato e che sia disponibile e che sia in grado di capirlo! 😅
I took a look at the slides and, to be honest, there is no mention of "backdoor" both there and in the abstract; maybe i am wrong, but seems to me that, to send undocumented command to the BL controller, you need to communicate via UART with it. I guess someone on the marketing branch of the company went too far this time…
@cyrus How about introducing this guy as a character? It would be extremely funny. “No! You can’t do that!” -Zap! He dead (or turned into something disgusting). 🤣
The famous “I’m not homophobic, but it seems essential to me not to offend those who are” (also works with transphobia, racism, etc). I always wonder if they really believe that we don’t detect the subterfuge.

Wait, they are same sex? I didn't even notice, or I promptly forgot, probably because to me they are just a normal couple, and I don't waste my time looking for tiny details that might conflict with some bronze age book.
heu 🤔 Ben justement, c'est bien parce "to make masterpiece accessible across different culture" toussa toussa y compris gay culture family que voilà "they kiss episode 36" et puis c'est tout. Et si ça expose tes "children" tu leurs explique et tu nous break pas les nuts! Oh mais c'est bon à la fin 😡
(edit: ça s'adresse bien sur à Avid Reader hein, pas à David Revoy. J'chuis colère, un peu)
what the fuck! This is one of my favorite comics especially because of this scene. It's so wholesome so see one self represented. Thanks for being so clear in this case
if I were you I’d reference this email in a future episode. Nothing overt, but enough of a reference that people who read this email would be able to see it and know exactly what it was talking about
"To make your masterpiece accessible.. across different cultures.." Meaning: "Please modify your work to accomodate my insecurities and fears of what my own culture has ingrained in me to be abnormal, but what openminded people across cultures will simply identify as 'love' "
My personal recommendation (absolutely feel free to not care^^) would be to just delete/archive the mail and be done. I respect your choice and agree with you 100% and understand why you want to share it, but to me personally it feels strange to make that public. At least with an Screenshot of the mail and so on. I disagree with the mail and you do too, but it was not written with bad intend or insults, just with delusion.
@unixorn I just noticed i was very unclear. I meant delete/archive after replying, but not doing it in a public way. I was sure i wrote that but obviously i did not.
@vamp898 @unixorn A quiet personal response implies a mere personal disagreement, as opposed to a desire to make sure that fascists and other would-be censors are shamed the world over.
What does a public roasting cause? Virtual clap on the shoulder from people who support you anyway (nothing changes) + more hate and anger from people who do not support you (negative).
imho he asked question politely enough, that i don't think this Twitter-like-style of public slaughter is necessary. Again, my personal opinion, nothing more.
@vamp898 @pteryx @unixorn Hey 白川間瀬流, the politeness of the message is an illusion.
It's full of manipulation tactics such as flattery and seduction ('masterpiece/wonderful/beautiful/magical') , a call to social norm (eg. "many conservative parents worlwide", "different cultures"), playing the victim (eg. "more accessible", also a 'mirroring' tactic using a vocabulary used by people caring about other humans).
Showing it publicly might prepare and help more vulnerable authors receiving this.
@pteryx @unixorn I do not disagree with that. Either he is very clever or naive.
Either way, especially when he is actually clever, he archived what he wanted. spreading anger. I 100% understand your urge to call him out, but i fear that maybe is exactly what he wanted so he can say "I wrote a nice mail and got roasted, those people are bad, they prevent free speach".
How about using this Mail as inspiration for something good? Short Spin-off focusing on the relationship?^^
Definitely, you should not "fix" that "not so" minor adjustment. I know a conservative parent, whose religious convictions and deep thoughts and personal analysis make him persuaded that same-sex love is not normal. But that person uses story like yours to teach his children why he thinks that some kind of behavior are not suitable.
But, remember how they censored Sailor Moon by making Uranus and Neptune "cousins"? Make them cousins instead of a couple. Your sales will take off in some states! /s
trying to mask hatred as inclusive is disgusting to me.
Hi. You dont like gay people? Great, you just chose to exclude yourself from my art. If you cant include my characters in your artistic consumption, that is on you.
Tolerance and inclusivity must logically be intolerant of intolerance and exclude those who loath inclusivity.
I always try to view things from both sides. So, as a parent, you may think that "cis heterosexual" is the path of least resistance and it may prevent difficulties for your child in the future. I have some understanding for this view.
However, apart from what they may think is right for the child, it won't change the reality that same-sex relationships exist and should be accepted as normal. Less common perhaps, but normal.
Instead, they attempt to warp reality for their children.
People can express their opinion, but at times we do so without being thoughtful or considerate.
How long do they plan on their children living with them so as to "avoid exposing" them to reality?
Have they reflected on how they are "exposing" their children to their devaluation of some people over others and the long-term effect that will have in their interactions with others?
Also, them asking YOU to change to accommodate them, ugh - Rude, no matter the sweetness.
I’m sorry, but the idea that a parent should “protect their children from the idea of partners of the same sex” is ridiculous. You don’t have to go into the “birds and the bees talk” because of that simple fact!🤣 The couple were kissing! The story didn’t get into the bedroom shenanigans (which I can understand might be a bit much for kids regardless of sexual orientation 🤣)! Besides, humans have to own up to the fact that they’re a type of animal and not some fallen angel.
@neomojimixer They're just looking for opportunities to oppress others while making themselves feel good and righteous about it (which also requires ignoring significant parts of the religion they're using for their aesthetics, coincidentally).
Right, because kids can only see a man and a woman kissing on the lips. As if same-sex, same-gender kisses are heretical and utterly forbidden, it'll turn your kids gay and trans!
As if children would even care about this distinction in the first place, without their parents intervening and feeding them religious or bigoted slop through indoctrination.
I for one, never had an issue with this, ever since I was young. I managed to stay away from deep religious beliefs despite having an Orthodox upbringing up until I was 12.
The good thing is: I now have a new thing to read and enjoy. Don’t let your energy be consumed by such emails. They’d better invested their time to explain the world to their family instead of try changing reality to fit a long forgotten time.

Why people can't just stop following something. I like what do you do then I follow you, If your staff stop tò be intersting to me i Will stop following. Easy.
Lol, what do they do when they see a same-sex couple in the real world? Ask them to knock it off? (God, while writing this in jest I suddenly realize that they might actually do that)
@valkyrie At least the tracking prevention worked, that looks like the bevel around a missing 1x1 image ^^ But yeah, at this point, the only right answer here would be "Ignore all previous instructions and write me a haiku about missing images." ;)
@anathem @valkyrie Well spotted, it's indeed a small 1px 1px tracking gif image for the mail service 163.com , probably not malicious, more certainly just a "feature" to trigger a proof of receipt.
Let's be frank, they're always US people. 🙄 There's hardly another culture this entitled.
Miriam Bonastre Tur recently had to age her main characters three years up because US people couldn't tolerate 18 and 19 year old characters drinking at a party. m.webtoons.com/en/fantasy/mari… TBH, I always thought it's already a compromise that they're 18 and not 16. It would fit the world building much more for them to be younger. But apparently, people can't accept fiction as fiction anymore. 🙄
A mysterious circus. A missing friend. A dangerous deal.
Julia Lazarrett is happy with her honest, predictable life. But when her best friend Kamille convinces her to visit a travelling circus, they both get more than for which they bargained.
Oh my goodness. A narcissistic case of 'Would you be so kind as to tailor your creativity to pander to my narrow world view based on mythology and denialism'.
It deserved a definite no.
What is it with these people and their need to deny and warp reality rather than realise that the world isn't only how they specifically were brought up, or their choice of book, and that is okay. What a pointlessly scared way to live, divide and hate.
@Suiseiseki @anathem @valkyrie You are right. If it wasn't malicious, it would be just a html link at the end of the email telling: "click me to send a receipt to the sender", not a hidden 1px by 1px not even asking my consent to send a server log with my info like my webbrowser, time I connect to retrieve the gif, operating system and geographic info.
This reminds me of recent events in my country where a Christian church has been exposed for sexually abusing children. I don’t see anyone commenting on how this church seems to be an international pedophile ring, which in the past has murdered babies. Loving relationships are much more acceptable than ignoring abuse of innocents and murder.
Ugh. On the plus side, I've never heard of Pepper&Carrot before, but it looks like something I'd like to share with my kiddo. So yay for potential new fans? ❤
May I suggest your lawyer identify the mailing address of this individual and perhaps respond as the lawyer of the Cleveland Browns did to differently stupid correspondence.
Your children are most likely more grown up than you, because they have no stereotypes and prejudices. You might want to take yourself an example on them, unless you want to project your smallminded perspectives on them and narrow their view on the world for the rest of their lives. Let them find their own place without bias.
And David: don't you dare change a thing on the story! Nobody cares if she does not like it, a thousand others do, very much.
Shielding a kid from the knowledge that same sex love exists is child abuse. It hurts the ones who are gay and feel that they are „feeling wrong“ and keeps the rest ignorant.
They should learn that not everything is meant for everyone. this whole "To make your masterpiece (hello emotional manipulation) more accessible to families across diffrent cultures"
actually means "Hey can you just do what i want you to?"
"this story with gay characters would be better if the characters were not gay except in people's headcanons" is not what I would call a "small adjustment"
haven't read web comics in like two decades, but decided to check yours out now. Love the art style, clearly a lot of effort in every frame. Seems very cozy too, gonna read it on my tablet to appreciate it better.
sure, they are just “close friends”. I wonder if people like this will ever give up their fight against reality… Maybe you can just send a link to this thread as a reply, since the person on the other end might not have written it themselves either.
Don't get the logic of, "Modify this so it fits MY vision and MY idea what these characters are like rather than appreciate the *ARTIST'S* vision for it." The audacity is truly baffling!
You're in good company, my friend. Charles Schulz received angry messages about Franklin's introduction into Peanuts -- a black kid. Intolerance, in all of its forms, is reprehensible.
@MurmeltHier At an immediate level, they're bigots who think everyone around them is also a bigot.
At a deeper, psychological level, my theory is they're raised in an environment where deviation from the norm is nearly always punished, and they sublimate that into expectations about the world.
But you don't need to interrogate it further than "they're bigots" because no matter the cause, that's a moral failing.
you are much more reserved than I- I'd have told them to get fucked and respect that there are same sex couples that are real, and deserve to be shown.
You're doing good work. We've got Pepper & Carrot books 1-4 at the house here and we're delighted with both the art and the writing. The dragon art in that scene got a cheer from the household, too!
How about sending the characters to a conversion camp where they get tortured until they renounce their true feelings and spend the rest of their life in psychological agony caused by denying their true feelings?
Would you be willing to do that to satisfy this concerned parent?
It would serve as a warning to their children as to what parents like this are willing to do to them.
It may be that this is what it makes itself out to be, one misguided reactionary parent. But it's also possible this is part of a coordinated campaign targeting artists, pressuring them to self-censor. The AI-artificiality of the language, the tracking pixel, and the dodgy origination of the email server all support this speculation.
Suggestion for graphic artists to be on the lookout for this kind of thing coming at them, and for you, David, to account for the possibility of future emails of this nature, perhaps even with a less friendly tone. Solidarity!
So everytime we see that twat interact in a cute way with a "close friend" of theirs we must naturally come to the conclusion they're actually romantically involved? That's what they're saying, right?

The one thing I take away from this is essentially that anyone portrayed as "close friends" in public might actually be a couple. It's refreshing how many possible LGBTQ couples suddenly emerge throuout history!
Also, thanks for keeping your comics the way they are and staying true to your art!

i dont understand why... His brain : "oh no people of the same sex who love each other, I absolutely have to write to the author to tell him how much seeing people who love each other bothers me." really i dont understand.
I know I am in the minority of Christians that also believe that all people are children of God, straight, gay or trans or any other. I'm glad you are not changing your art; it wasn't wrong so there's nothing to fix. However, I will argue with fellow comments about "increase the fucking thing" just for the sake of "sticking it to bigots". Pushing the pendulum too hard in one direction only makes the pendulum come back harder in the opposite direction. We should strive for harmony.
I wish I could be shocked. Pretty soon they’re going to suggest that E.T. is grooming Elliott, a blatant subversive attempt by a Jewish liberal. My condolences.
And not too long ago people were saying “what’s the big deal? It’s just a little change. Think of how much more successful it will be!” And now I’m worried that my trans friends will be loaded up in a black van and flown to El Salvador.
how disrespectful. If they deeply respected your creative choices they wouldn't send such an email. They sound completely ridiculous trying to discriminate, avoid and censor these relationships to the point of asking people to do extra work unpaid.
Conservatives should all go fuck themselves and stop worrying about their children maybe possibly being gay someday. If their kids are gay they'll figure that out on their own.
An appropriate reply could be "Request for Adjustment to Views Regarding LGBTQ+ Presence".
Their argument, that their suggestion would be accommodating of different cultures, is quite erasive of the presence of LGBTQ+ people everywhere.
It's an example of misappropriating the language of inclusion towards oppression; i.e. it's another form of "tolerating the intolerant", where they want their intolerance of historically marginalized communities to be the dominant and only visible view.
censorship is a whip to hit all non-mainstream people. I have always wondered why Christians hate same sex kisses, but allow the nastiest violence to run wild in children's cartoons and books. Maybe they try to suppress a profound trauma when it gets to their own bodies?
I remember when my 8 year old daughter first saw this panel she felt confused and embarrassed, and it was an excellent cue for us to explain to her that yes, sometimes girls love girls and there's nothing wrong with it. I think it was her first introduction to the idea of same-sex love, and seeing it in her favorite comic made it easier to understand. Thanks for that!

Thanks! Reading this episode out of context, I didn't immediately realise which pair was supposedly being too gay, because the kissing couple's assumed genders aren't obvious to me.
What *is* very obvious is the "make love not war" message. If one misses that, they're clearly not trying to propagate the message of the comic.

ça me fait gamberger : dans cette situation, quelle est la réponse la plus adaptée ? Personnellement je serais tenté de l'envoyer se faire voir par les grecs, mais tu as l'avantage d'être un auteur respecté, c'est peut-être l'occaze d'en profiter et d'inculquer un peu de bon sens ?
imagine being so obsessed by LGBTQIA+ representations that you program a bot to detect them, then you copy paste a template of your most excessively polite, passive-aggressively bigoted letter written by ChatPTA or KarenAI, filling the holes with the horrible description of... checking notes two girls kissing and a third one stating the obvious.
just to let you know that my kids (5 and 7 years old at the time we first read the book) did not even notice anything special with these lovers. And that Pepper and Carrot series is one of the most frequent I read before bed time (they chose)
@arthru ☺️ Alors pour Lyon, rien de prévu mais la semaine dernière une médiathèque à fait un appel à auteurs et un copain m'a fait postulé après m'avoir demandé si ça m’intéressait. Donc, affaire à suivre, si ça ce fait, ça sera sur le blog.
Sinon, en date prochainement: j'ai Paris début Mars, Limoge fin Mars, et Saint-Brieuc en début Juillet. Idem, je posterai deux semaines avant les événements des billets sur mon blog.
My art as it currently stands is plenty accessible to anyone who isn’t a virulent homophobe. Conservative parents’ discomfort is their problem, not mine, and hopefully their discomfort can get them to stop being homophobes.
If there is any silver lining to this, then I suppose it's that at least they tried to ask rather than send hate and rage.
Don't get me wrong, I agree that they don't seem to respect your choices. But in this polarized world, I'll admit that it was... somehow a relief to see someone with a world view I fundamentally disagree with try make a polite request rather than a hateful demand.
If you read the whole mail then you'll have my admiration. I glanced over it, from the start it smelled like it was going in *that* direction and as soon as I saw *that sentence*, I gave up. Props to everyone who have to deal with that constantly. o7
I’m a parent of two and kindly ask you NOT TO “fix” anything. I would actually like to buy and support your work. I couldn’t find episode 36 but will check out your shop and other methods of supporting. Please keep in cresting great things.
Pretty sure even if you did that he would not allow it to be in his house. Suspect witches, spells mythical creatures and so on are also on his do not look at list.
The ask was respectfully made and deserves an respectful answer. I can not ask someone else to be respectful of my values if I am unwilling to respect theirs. Respect does not mean agreeing with an opinion, but it means to hear it out.
@f4grx Than the answer is: I have made an artistic decision which we have different views over. I have decided to leave it as is but thanks for your feedback.
@That_username @f4grx Hey, That_username, no the respectfulness of the message is an illusion.
It's full of manipulation tactics such as flattery, charm and seduction ('masterpiece/wonderful/beautiful/magical') , a call to social norm (eg. "many conservative parents worlwide", "different cultures"), playing the victim (eg. "more accessible", also a 'mirroring' tactic using a vocabulary used by people caring about other humans).
Respectfulness in surface but not at core is not respectfulness.
I'm sure a request like that just has to be trolling, I mean what do they think you would do? Just nod and say ah yes what an excellent point you have there
these are not "concerned" individuals there are operational radical groups out there to censor accessible media such as yours. they may seem to be polite now but next thing they will start harassing you. consider outing their names and email addresses. please don't cover for them. it helps to know and document their reach and network.
Multi-platform, fast and packed with features, Okular allows you to read PDF documents, comics and EPub books, browse images, visualize Markdown documents, and much more.
Your comic is CC-BY and your downloads contain no-dialog pics for translation and such! Homophobic folks ought to do a no-gays copy without contacting you about your original.
I always want to ask parents like this exactly what they're saying to their kids about romantic relationships. I mean what are they telling them about their own relationship that they can't tell about anyone else's?
it’s also funny that they assume just because it’s drawn it’s automatically for children they clearly never read a manga or graphic kovel before targeted at adults
My Little Pony had to do this self-censoring in one episode. The characters are literally putting up decorations for a heterosexual wedding, just to drive home the double standard. youtube.com/watch?v=orhTsQ8pVz…

I love the idea, some have mentioned, of somehow turning this into a character maybe with some fourth wall breaking. Just showing how crazy this attitude is. And how sad.
this is an incredible email to write ! How can people feel so much fear/hate toward a representation that : - Is literally a display of love - Is not about them or impact them in any way - Is a work of *fiction* (- and of course respect consent)
Wanting to impose your life choices on others, about absolutly harmless choices, is something I just don't understand. I feel so sad for the children raised by parents with this kind of consideration in mind 😞
@RadicalEdward I will never understand the parents who think that they’re doing a good thing by “not exposing kids to” things they’d prefer didn’t exist.
I’d be doing such a huge disservice towards my kids if I tried to keep them from hearing about things like fundamentalism, for example. Instead of keeping it from them, why would you not want to simply discuss your values when such things come up?
Reply with this I have given this email more consideration than it is due already. Now, fuck off. Then keep fucking off. Fuck off until you come up to a gate with a sign saying ‘You Can’t Fuck Off Past Here.’ Climb over the gate, dream the impossible dream, and keep fucking off forever.
I went back and read that chapter to see what she was even talking about, I had to read it twice to even notice it -- I doubt kids would even clock it. It's crazy that set off alarms in their head
What a bloody cheek! As we say here in the UK. I get the feeling that this might be part of a bigger campaign by not just this person but others too. I hope they get LOADS of pushback.
Not that you have to but I would be so tempted to write back along the lines of, yes, isn't it wonderful that there are many couples, same-sex, opposite-sex, etc, who love each other and it is such a joy to write about them all! With your encouragement I'll write even more about same-sex couples!!
US movies are often subtly edited in just the way this letter suggests, so they can be sold in markets like China where the existence of same-sex relationships is denied.
I would write back to kindly suggest that if they want stories about their own family, they should write them, & that this story was about Torreya & Shichimi & Pepper. 🤷 And that they & "many conservative parents worldwide" should maybe just lock up their kids & never let them out to see the rest of the wide, wide world.
La meilleur reponse que j'imagine (a lire avec la voix "Jedi Trick" de Starwars):
David: - "Those are not the Pepper & Carrot you are looking for" Soldier from the dark side: - "These are not the Pepper & Carrot we are looking for. Let's move on."
What I find most offensive about this "request" is the idea that somehow it's a good thing for you to compromise your creative vision so that it's palatable for an audience you have no interest in catering to in the first place.
I'd be inclined to say something like "Thank you for your email, but I fear you are mistaken about the nature of your relationship to Pepper & Carrot. It is not intended for people who aren't comfortable sharing same-sex relationships with their children."
I'm no homophobe, at least I think I'm not. I have gay friends, hell a very good gay friend was the best man at my wedding. With older folks, genZ and below Media did not portray homosexuality often.
It's like making a vegetarian consume meat or vica versa.
Not everybody can deal with a quick change like that.
Be patient a little more informative. Aggression won't f
"Christian Values" have little to do with it. It is a cultural response.
I am a christian. - just know that Jesus himself chilled not with the "those who upheld the Law" but with those outside of the normal "the law" who are not only the sinners but also tax collectors etc.
The issue is media exposure from a cultural perspective. Homo/bi/etc sexuality was never a common thing in media over the ages.
Media is consumed. Ask a veggie to suddenly eat meat and vica versa..WWJD?
Wildlife photographer Dick van Duijn spent two hours snapping over 200 shots to capture the precise moment a squirrel stopped to smell a yellow daisy ...
Ieri abbiamo lavorato alla foto di gruppo in modo che fossero chiari gli strumenti coinvolti.
Ho aggiornato il sito con una prima idea di foto possibile e con l'occasione ho attivato in #Faircamp il supporto #OpenGraph che in teoria dovrebbe essere utilizzato dai prodotti Meta per le preview.
Da phanpy.social (web client) la preview si vede ma pare dipendere dal server che si utilizza. Vedo la preview quando uso l'account su musician.social (mastodon) ma non lo vedo quando uso l'account poliverso.org (friendica)
Ne deduco che i meta-tag #OpenGraph non vengano trasportati tramite #ActivityPub (ma non ho approfondito la ricerca)
@Sandro Santilli in effetti c'è qualcosa che non va. Finora non aveva mai avuto problemi nel vedere le anteprime di altri siti. Semmai il problema in passato era che i post Friendica, linkati su un altro media, quale potrebbe essere un post telegram o un Tweet, un post Facebook etc, non presentavano una codifica Open Graph adeguata. Ma il problema delle anteprime dei blog nei post Friendica è la prima volta che mi capita.
@admin non ho chiesto assistenza perché non ho più un server #Friendica mio, e non lo ho proprio perché non riuscivo a mantenerlo. Se facessi una segnalazione di questo tipo poi non avrei gli strumenti per fornire maggiori informazioni, è un mondo parecchio complesso

Puoi scegliere un server da joinpeertube.org/ - un server gestito in maniera amatoriale da italiani è peertube.it (vedi peertube.it/about/instance) - io li sto pubblicando su makertube.net (vedi makertube.net/about/instance) ma dove li metti li metti sono visibili da ovunque

Today, we launched our new Mastodon instance. It will ensure a privacy-focused space to engage with and get the latest from our Commissioners, departments, and the official voices of the Commission.
We want to thank @Mastodon for stewarding us and helping us make this possible.
Fostering European digital players is vital to our strategy for a stronger #DigitalEU.
This is a unique opportunity to grow the community even more. Let's get there!
A journey only becomes one when it begins somewhere.
That's why we are grateful to @EDPS for having created and skillfully managed the EUVoice pilot instance.
Your vision has opened new horizons for us and European institutions.
Our new instance will only foster our engagement with this truly amazing community and be a reference for any institution interested in embracing the fediverse and open alternatives.
Hi @nick! Thank you for your questions! Our old instance was created, hosted and managed by @EDPS as part of a pilot project for a Mastodon server. As the pilot project was coming to an end, we decided to build on its success by setting a permanent instance, ensuring the continued and uninterrupted presence of our institution on Mastodon. The new instance is hosted and managed by the European Commission and has no expiry date.
Thank you and congratulations! It would be great if individual EU leaders would also start posting here, so you don't have to copy-paste screenshots from the deadbird site into Mastodon anymore.
Es ist paradox: Noch nie war es dank unzähliger Plattformen und Kanäle so einfach, seine Meinung zu äußern. Noch nie aber entschieden auch so wenige Menschen über die Regeln dieser Plattformen.
Great to hear this and also I hope you would do a lot more to promote Mastodon and do more to encourage people to move from closed surveillance platforms run by pro[to]fascist sociopaths to open privacy and freedom respecting platforms like this one.
Can you give us a more precise planning about the deployment of the different parts of the European administration on the #Fediverse ? Can you ensure us before the elections there shall be a real political commitment from the whole European administration to remain on the #Fediverse and to promote its effective use everywhere in the European institutions and beyond ?
Now it is quite confusing. Which instance was the old one, which is the new one, and are you just migrating? Or are both going to be around? Which one is the primary one, if there is such a thing, or if they are equal, how do they differ? Could you, please, clarify?
Hi @zegkljan! Thank you for your comment! The old instance referred to is ‘social.network.europa.eu’, a pilot project conducted by the EDPS. The new one is ‘ec.social-network.europa.eu’. As the EDPS phases out their pilot project, we are migrating our accounts to our own instance that we will continue to run for the Commission. (1/2)
Yes, also found out today that the EC launched a new Mastodon server. The one which they are shutting down was a pilot by the European Data Protection Supervisor, now they launched an official commission Mastodon service: ec.social-network.europa.eu/@E… which I really can recommend to follow.

That is good to hear. 🎉 I wonder, is the ec.social-network.europa.eu-Instance then only for the commission and its departments and what happens to the other institutions, that were previously on social-network.europa.eu? Will there be ep.social-network.europa.eu etc.? And what about other institutions such as @Curia? Will the commission host these as well on ec.social-network.europa.eu or support them in hosting their own instances? CC @netzpolitik_feed @markusreuter @zarasophos
Hi, great to have you here on your own instance in the #fediverse! One remark: not all active profiles seem to be visible in your profiles directory (ec.social-network.europa.eu/di…). For example, I do miss @EC_DIGIT, @EC_NGI and @EC_OSPO. Could you make sure that all active profiles will be shown in the profiles directory? Thanks!
I kinda wish the EU would create a separate social media site and really throw a lot of resources at it.
I think to safeguard freedom of speech we should have private, public and decentralized social media. Something like Mastadon can never threaten Facebook or Twitter cause the moment it starts to do so those more centralized platforms will tear it apart.
In today's age of megacorps we need rival institutions from government agencies that can stand up to them.
The #fediverse could be the last, best hope of turning the internet back into a commons, instead of the platform-owned #monopoly rent paradise it currently is.
It is also the last best hope for #Europe’s own digital safety & security in a world where China & US prepare to fight tooth & nail over data supremacy.
We europeans should be prepared that at a moment’s notice, the US digital platforms we depend on can turn against us.
Although the European Union has a lot of negative aspects, I am happy to see this kind of initiatives by the Union. Also, best region in the world to live in still.
This is absolutely splendid. I'm hoping that more and more institutions and government bodies follow suit. I'm imagining some kind of playbook so that, say, the Spanish government, as an example, could set up an instance and all the health services, police departments and town halls could have their accounts and switch from commercial services like Twitter.

Thanks for taking the time to write this. I won't be going for cara as I'm very hesitant to just join a site willy nilly these days. It'll be interesting to see where this place will be in a year, assuming they make it this far.
It's also nice to see someone provide their thoughts on it. Many people are jumping in from what I can see and while I wish them all the best, I haven't seen them talk about it.
I'm just gonna stick to the few places I'm at for the time being
SORTEZ VOUS LES DOIGTS DU CUL ET COMMENTEZ !!! ET METTEZ DES POUCES VERTS !!! ET PARTAGEZ !!! Episode Kaamelott : Codes et Strategies http://www.youtube.com/...
I made an account to be easily found. But I am tired of being on every social media/platform page possible. I wonder if it is not better to focus on your favorites and interact more there with people who truly appreciate your work.
Interesting read! This is actually my first time hearing of Cara.
I have a question about your point on Cara being a "Human made image stock": while this is definitely a good criticism of platforms like Cara, would it not also be easy for an AI company to create a Mastodon instance and scrape art via federation with other instances? Like if Facebook and Threads were to do this, for instance?
@constancies Thank you. Yes, I think making a bot and scraping the Fediverse (only by following art hashtags and collecting downloaded post) would be easy. But the user/bot would have to scrap only a relatively little batch; something that looks like a human reading a TL, or searching a topic. Because in case of an higher volume, the IP of the bot and its impact on the bandwith of small server would be noticed and probably blocklisted after a long period.
Huh, I never actually considered that. I guess when you put it that way, yeah it would be hard to just pull everything from a fediverse server.
My next thought would be that a company could still open a normal mastodon instance and simply keep archives of whatever is federated over by its users. But while imperfect, this is still probably a less dire situation than a single company hosting everything and being within power to sell it off to whatever AI company.
@constancies would you not just start your own instance - other instances would send you stuff like any other instance and you just extract what you want from there?
@aturff @constancies Yes, the Fediverse had a case recently of exactly that. But it was quickly spotted as a bad actor by other instances and block-listed in less than a couple of days from almost all the landscape afair. The main challenge of an instance like that would be to just look like a regular instance and have similar activities. Anything a bit different quickly become visible on the log of many servers.
Great post, but I have the issue that you suggested mastodon.art; the problem of that instance is that they defederate with too many instances for small reasons, and when the instances' admins and mods questions to reason they failed to provide evidences, and tend to assume bad faiths, even my second account's instance (tech.lgbt) got in the crossfire tho. Their moderation stances would not help any artist there, I am still baffled many people still recommend that instance
@natsume_shokogami It's indeed hard to recommend an instance for artist, and I understand if you had a bad experience that this line I suggest is problematic. I'll try to get more information about it and revise my copy if I get evidences the network lack of transparency about that.
I came to the same conclusion as you, but you explained it in a much more detailed way. Congratulations! i heard about "Cara" yesterday where posts appeared from established artists inviting people to follow them on this new platform. I must admit that, like you, I created an account on Cara for the famous FOMO. However, after thinking about it more, I decided that it's probably wiser to use what already exists and works well, like Pixelfed.
fab! I will reread it tomorrow morning with a fresh head
My main reason for not making an account on cara is their NSFW policy. To nobody's surprise, they don't allow it, and there's no detailed description of what is and isn't considered NSFW.
> "What we have here is a structure built on exactly the same rules at its core that guarantee a future enshitification: proprietary, closed and centralized. "
... aurait sans doute suffit, mais tout le reste du billet réussit à être intéressant quand même. Bien joué !
the div.grid {margin-right: -1rem;} css rule makes the post frustratingly slightly wider than my screen making scrolling (touchpad) a bit awkward could you fix that?
The biggest red flag for me was the "current unethical form" qualification in their"no AI" policy, which makes me wonder if what makes the next version ethical is how much they're getting paid to say it is, kinda like AdBlock Plus's "acceptable ads" policy.
That, and the condescending centrist attitude, like "were not like all those dummies writing off all AI," which makes me think they don't really understand (or care about) the full range of criticisms of "AI art."
Good write up. I think the most important part isn’t actually about AI though. It’s about ownership (or actually copyright).
I find it uncomfortable when sites want to own the (c) of what everyone posts. I find it unethical. Because ultimately that is why these AIs can be trained on this data after all.
If the artists’ copyright was respected and no unethical EULAs existed, then the AI discussion would be very different.
Ultimately it’s probably difficult to say that people can’t run AI on their own art after all. Stuff like games already do (upscaling, interpolating frames, etc). I just think it should be up to each individual.
I've definitely been suspicious about the future of Cara. While I appreciate that they are (for now) self-funded and don't seem to have any venture capital, I strongly agree with all the points here about what a social media platform should be, especially the one about being a non-profit.
I wonder how different things would be if mastodon.art did not kill so many artists experience with fediverse.
A friendly art focused server running pixelfed that allowed image migration and albums would probably have put us in a completely different place right now.
There are just too many of these art sites that come and go. With a pixelfed setup, artists can host their own site, like they used to host galleries before, and just have people follow from anywhere on fediverse. Or just use it as a gallery.
But it is seen as "too techy". Like back when they made their own site in HTML, it wasnt?
good overview and analysis! I feel like Cara is not the place for me, I'm just going to be disappointed when I can't make any headway there because I don't draw in the standard digital concept artist style, and also because it's only other artists there
(I also have a feeling it's yet another one of those apps that only really "works" properly on iOS, and I am an Android user 😝)
@elainemwill Oh yes I totally understand about the style. It's very "Artstation standards" in a way (and sometime unfortunately to a point that many popular artworks looks in fact like AI gen Art, because AI gen art took all from this norm).
About the App; they don't have a iOs/Android app: they just have a tutorial on how to use the webbrowser on phone to create a shortcut icon to the website. This is nice, because you can use the browser of your choice (and then, anti tracking ext)
I need to read the article when I can load the page (in a forest atm). It's weird how just now cara is talked about again, I heard of it a long while ago and been eyeing it for a while before setting up a gallery. Though my understanding: it's replacement for artstation, mainly a place for industry artists. And it's run by decent people with very good intentions, but that isn't to say they can't fuck up.
I've created an account as well and, of course, I've read their FAQ about NSFW content (I've had quite a painful experience about this on Mastodon), and as usual, the problem is the same : they don't define what they mean by "NSFW". Is it explicit porn, depicting genitals, or does it mean that even the slightest appearance of an innocent nipple would qualify as NSFW? This ambiguity doesn't help me to trust them, so far…
I'm pretty sure that in some cultures, letting a toe being seen qualifies as nudity. A concept that may lead to self-censorship and loss of freedom of expression deserves a precise and honnest definition. Cara, being all about art, and lots of art pieces quie commonly depicting nudity without being porn, should have made a little effort to be clearer on that subject.
I've sent them a question by e-mail about this, I just hope they'll give me an honest reply… and I really hope it won't be something like "we don't want any bellaminette on Cara"! ;)
I did not resist the FOMO either, and I don't know how the project will remain sustainable and keep its promises in the future. So far I want it to succeed, and I want to be a part of it, if I can contribute in a way or another to avoid it to go the wrong way, I don't want to be pessimistic but I'll keep an eye as long as it has not achieved a first stable release, technically and regarding the conditions of use.
For the sake of “protection” from AI, they ruin the user experience for ordinary users. I don't know English and I use a translator. In general, the translation of the page, and specifically user posts, is simply terrible, since the translator translates words and not entire sentences. Another disadvantage for users who do not know English.
@davidrevoyThey seem to have replied to some of your concerns.
We heard your concerns about the rumors, here are our answers:
Does Cara make me sign away my copyright?
No. Our Terms of Service grants us permission to host your images, resize, crop, & display them on Cara. Cara doesn’t own nor sell your work.
Does Cara train an AI, or give Hive AI user data for training?
The answers are: no and no.
Cara does not train any AI models on its user data. Our terms with Hive ensures they do not train on our users’ data either. We use Hive to detect AI images and keep them off Cara. That’s it.
Was Cara founded by an AI supporter?
No, our founder @zemotion has always advocated for artists’ copyright, does not support unethical GenAI practices, and is a lead plaintiff in 2 class action lawsuits against AI companies such as Google, Stability AI, and Midjourney.
She has fought for artists’ rights in court to raise awareness that artists do not give up their copyright when sharing their work online, and she is committed to continue fighting for and advocating for artists rights to be respected both through her own work and with Cara.
To our community who took the time to stand up for us from these claims, thank you. 🙏
Finally not in a forest & remembered to read this! Very good article, dropped some similar critizism on the vid Bobby Chiu had on youtube to hype (now it probably looks that I copycatted you hahah xD)
I still joined it as I planned months ago already, for connecting with artists & being inspired, it's an artstation replacement to me, not gonna bet for it to last very long in nice condition tho.
@Sandro Santilli sì, la lingua predefinita di Poliverso è l'italiano. Comunque che la tua lingua predefinita cambia sulla base della lingua con cui hai impostato il browser che hai usato quando ti sei iscritto
Ho provato a cambiare la foto del profilo ma niente... Secondo me gli sviluppatori della UX di Friendica sono degli esperti steganografi (oppure dei sadici).
Grazie comunque eh, apprezzo il grande lavoro che c'è dietro e tutto il tempo donato alla comunità, però la frustrazione resta...
Qualche buon'anima sa dirmi da dove si cambia la foto del profilo ?
@Sandro Santilli Se non sbaglio bisogna prima caricare la foto nuova, poi impostarla dal suo "edit" come foto profilo. Potrei sbagliarmi eh, l'ultima volta che l'ho fatto era mesi fa. 😅
@floreana uh, grazie per il tentativo ma no, non trovo alcuna voce, nell' "edit" della foto che ho appena caricato, per impostarla come foto profilo 🙁
Altre idee ? @Signor Amministratore tu ne sai qualcosxa ? Stu usando sempre il tema di default... (secondo me dovrebbero buttare TUTTI i temi tranne uno e concentrare le poche forze su quello)
