@floe might add that to the todo list. But this feature will be age-gated and a valid Perso/eID is required to prove that the user is old enough to actually have needed to use that in the past.

Long time no new things: I made some very basic hardware to use an analog rotary dial telephone (namely the german "Fernsprechtischapparat" phones) via HID on modern computers. The rotary dial acts as a keyboard device and depending on the software even ringing works for incoming calls. Details: https://volzo.de/thing/fetap/

@irgendwienet @holgi Das kann ich so bestätigen. Einziger wirklicher Pluspunkt bei mir: ich bin die Werbung los weil ich die günstigere, quersubventionierte Variante hatte.

@floe Ah, I see, it's this time of the year again 😆 I guess this counts as (hay) fever-induced engineering.

For the 4th year in a row, my all-sky camera has been taking an image of the sky above the Netherlands every 15 seconds. Combining these images reveal the length of the night changing throughout the year, the passage of clouds and the motion of the Moon and the Sun through the sky. #astrophotography

@floe Last year some numbers were reported. Looked it up: "The rate of moderation automation is very high at Meta: At Facebook and Instagram, respectively, 94% and 98% of decisions are made by machines". Will differ a bit by language for sure, but yeah, probably no scamming report will be seen by humans unless escalated multiple times...
