The German Court ruled that use of #Google Fonts without prior consent is a violation of Europe’s #GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) because #GoogleFonts exposes the visitor’s IP address. Court’s ruling threatens a fine of €250,000 for each case of infringement if the site owner does not comply.https://www.theregister.com/2022/01/31/website_fine_google_fonts_gdpr/#privacyMatters #privacy

@aral @mastohost do you know you can periodically prune the image cache without breaking anything? The last release allows to enable it by the administration panel too.Aral, I have to say… I was not expecting to see you using #AWS!

#ChatGPT is a data privacy nightmare.

I see a lot of people believe there is no way to have #privacy online. Corporations have pushed so hard that many are persuaded and disillusioned.Privacy-compliant alternative software exists and it's up to you to choose and promote it.Tracking tools are not required but wanted technologies: it is not something inevitable inside a software.When you see it that way, your approach to software change and you will also learn to love #ethical software as you know how to appreciate organic food.

@mk AFAIK #Mastodon is trying to fight this approach to social media engagement (you can see how favourite or boosts counters are hidden in your timeline).[Maybe you replied to the wrong toot]

@mk uh ok, I got it. But you are still open to choose by yourself and getting educated to select which platform fits best you ethics. I know network effects will play their hand but it’s all under your own control in the end.If I did it, anybody can do it.

@louis my humble (and possibly wrong) idea is that the onboarding procedure could randomize the server. This way the user could play with the slot-machine and select the handle he prefers from a bunch of "main" servers.Centralizing the onboarding to mastodon.social will lead to several issues on the long run.
