@adam @Sheilaniriain The strange thing is: for me it was less than the flu. Tired for a bit more than a week and at the end suddenly no smell at all any more. After that week, I was fine except for the smell: 1.5 yrs later and it is still not what it was :(

Extract from "Behold a Pale Horse" on a virus for population control

There are some parallels to the current pandemic. I think the last paragraph here is very relevant. "The fact that such a population control was...

@Peaceandprosperity @Johncdvorak I think the problem here is not the "rebel" fashion sense. The problem is that she thinks she is a rebel, but in the meantime is wearing a facemask to signal to the world how well behaved she is...

In The Netherlands we have anti fascism groups that are actually threatening and abusing the protesters that are in the street protesting for freedom! Just because our governments label those people "far right, dangerous fascists".

They are just not thinking but doing exactly what they are told. To bad they don't know they are being idiots.
@mike do you have any more info about ZAP? Any documentation?
All I can find is this: #^https://zotlabs.com/zap/ .

But that gets me nowhere near getting a server up and running :D
Zap - Welcome to the Fediverse

@mike I will take a look at ZAP (never heard of it, sorry)!

The option you mention is not visible to me anywhere? I am assuming that by action menu you are referring to the cogwheel beneath a post? I do not see a "link to source" option anywhere I'm afraid.

And I think the actual mid link is a nice option to share since a lot of social media and other apps (Telegram) are able to then show a preview of the post instead of just the link like the other two.
Can you tell me what I am looking at here? I tried looking up "Smithereen" on the search engines but came up blank. Just wondering where the screenshots are from/what it is?

Tried installing Mobilizon a few times without success now, so if this is an alternative... :)
@oRx-Qx pirateradio it is a bit harder than this. An email address is not always personally identifiable information. It depends on who is processing the information: would that person/company be able to trace this email address back to a natural person without to much effort? (Browsing to anonymized data usually constitute to much effort.) To be fair: email usually is PII.

For instance: a licence plate is not PII. Unless you work at an insurance company and you can easily trace that plate back to the owner of the car. For that organization it is PII and they need to treat it as such.

In case of a message/post in Hubzilla chances are that you are not sharing any personally identifiable information at all. And it would be easy to put this in the user agreement upon signing up on a hub. If you then connect to another hub that would be your choice...

And to be real: these laws are not meant to protect the general public at all. They are meant to protect the mega corporations who can spend millions on an entire "privacy framework" and loads of "legitimate interests" bull. Smaller companies and the foss community is hit much harder, even though they do not aggregate data on the idiotic scale of Google/MS/Amazon/etc. at all. Trust me: these laws where lobbied for by those big companies. Does not say you should not make sure u are abiding the law, but just for some background.
@mike technically you are right.

But in The Netherlands we call a microwave oven a "Magnetron". The magnetron is the actual working element that heats up your food (and emits the microwaves). So we Dutch might be technically correct: no one besides us will understand.

My advice: do not name it foo and bar ;)

A lot of projects forget it will be the users that actually make a piece of software useful. You can make a great program, but forget the eye candy and naming and it will never get any traction...

I asked some complete novice users about what program they wanted to use for their "Facebook alternative". Most liked the way diaspora* looks, feels and works. But it has no groups, so that was just not an option. Now we are testing Hubzilla, but I am struggling to explain non tech minded users how channels/forums/privacy groups differ and how they work.
