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.
Vediamo se funziona anche in #Mastodon ?
Fatemi sapere con una risposta se il vostro client Mastodon vi mostra una preview del sito, grazie !

@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.

@ajsadauskas I don't have kids, and I love coding!
The challenges in building and managing everything myself is something I take great pride in, I've been working almost daily on this since April 2018 and finally it's starting to get noticed.
People think I spend all my time coding, but I don't, just a few hours a day!

Il meravoglioso mondo di #Friendica ....
@Signor Amministratore che dici, segnalo ?
Stereodon.social è un social network autogestito e open source dedicato alla musica.Mastodon ospitato su stereodon.social
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 ?

@Signor Amministratore come al solito Friendica mostra tutte le sue fragilità
Sarà il caso di dare un'occhiata al database ? Non possono esserci due account secondari con lo stesso identificativo, ti pare ? Lo segnalerei upsteam ma non potendo guardare nel DB non so quanto sarei utile.
> per come sono fatto io ad avere tempo segnalerei la cosa come baco perchè come UX è un baco che non ci sia alcun segnale visivo del fatto che sto guardando lo stesso account con due ruoli.
Anche secondo me lo è e non escludo che sia stato già segnalato. Purtroppo l'interfaccia è (per sopraggiunta mancanza di sviluppatori) il punto debole di Friendica
> so giá che se segnalo il baco qualcuno mi suggerirà di provare un altro tema, e magari se ne trova pure uno che ti da l'indicazione visiva, pero' non e' il default.
Probabile 🤣
> E' per queste scomodita' che Mastodon sta avendo maggior successo
Mastodon ha successo perché è più semplice, perché è uguale a Twitter, perché ha un sacco di soldi e, soprattutto, perché ha un'app ufficiale e una manciata di app eccellenti di terze parti. Friendica è una nicchia numericamente insignificante nel fediverso
Bentrovati nel #fediverso !
Questo luogo può anche essere poco ergonomico (a seconda della interfaccia che si utilizza per frequentarlo) ma si respira aria sincera. Stare qui è un po' come avere uno spazio in TV 📺 su #RaiTre di notte 🌛 con maggiore libertà e minori ascolti; ma come diceva Renzo Arbore: "meno siamo, meglio stiamo" 😉

Ieri ho scritto la seguente URL come post di Facebook, e prima di avere il tempo di scrivere altro mi è stato notificato che il sistema aveva estratto in automatico le informazioni circa l'evento relativo e che poteva per me creare un "evento FB" con tutti i campi precompilati. Parliamo di locandina, titolo, descrizione, data, luogo.
Parliamo di un evento su Mobilizon, che è un progetto Open Source per la pubblicazione di eventi con tutte le specifiche del formato in cui vengono pubblicati tali eventi.
L'estrazione delle informazioni è stata quasi completa, solo l'indirizzo non è stato estratto in maniera corretta, ma l'ho potuto modificare a mano.
Ne sono stato colpito positivamente, quindi ho voluto provarlo qui, ma pare che Friendica non abbia questo tipo di automatismo. Però mi sembra abbia un qualche tipo di supporto per pubblicare eventi, sbaglio ?

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.
practice of suppressing speech or other public communication is illegal or against social norms.

in reply to ワンプ八九八 • • •@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.

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".

in reply to David Revoy • • •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?

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.

in reply to David Revoy • • •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.

in reply to David Revoy • • •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!

Indirectly, I suppose I should thank the bigots. Now I've found a new web comic to read. Just a few episodes in, and it is charming.
I find the "I'm just trying to help you get seen by more people" tone strongly indicative of AI slop messaging.
Such folks have trouble even feigning concern for someone else. The writing is soulless, presumably like the prompter.
Keep in exactly as much gay as you think your story warrants.
I love seeing folks be creative.

in reply to David Revoy • • •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.

in reply to David Revoy • • •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.
I wonder if your books are about to be banned in some libraries across the pond.

No, they want to impose their religion.

Yes, it's libre as in under Creative Commons Attribution. I still have my moral right, and can refuse to have a derivation mentioning my name. Also, all derivations are required to not do as if I endorsed what they did.
That's not much , but legally I have some possibilities if something really bad happens.

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.

in reply to David Revoy • • •what I love most about this is that they didn't even consider that as 'conservative parents' they might not be the target audience.
Not for one second do they imagine there might be things out there that are not made specifically for *them*.
Mr. Greeb
in reply to David Revoy • • •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.

Unknown parent • • •@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.

in reply to David Revoy • • •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 😞

in reply to David Revoy • • •@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?

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!!

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."

in reply to David Revoy • • •"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?
