Hi,

I'm confuse about those mandatory legal notices that governments impose for websites..

Before going further I invite you to read:
A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace
and
Discourse on Voluntary Servitude[^1] \

From all the articles^2 that I read about the mandatory notice to display for website none of them reference the URL of their claim !! / of the legal text !! WTF[^links]

Internet is by essence world wide, and when reading all those legal requirement it's seem that you should display notices for EVERY country !

it's seem also that if you own a private website, just for your own or family use, like for example a web file hosting services. (NextCloud etc..) You should comply with the same requirement that are asked for company ! again... WTF !

Also I don't understand, why make mandatory those notices...(beside the scam (money) ) , I'll come back to this below.

• If you want to buy something off a website, and this later do not mentions any legal address , contact info and so on, the responsibility to buy or not should be only yours. (For example, will you buy a yogurt in the supermarket if there were no brand, contact info on the packing or bill ?)
• if the state want to ~~censor~~ "regulate" a website on the old internet[^OI] there is plenty of way to know who is the author or at the very least where is it hosted..
• if a website use/distribute a copyrighted© elements. The right holder can do/contact in the following order:
  • check the website for contact (if any)
  • check the DNS record
  • check the hosting
  • contact the owner of the IP (IP are leased by company../ ISP )

So there is no sense to ask everyone that extra heavy burden. The only advantage is for law firm (and those cookies related firm) that make a profit out of it. I heard in my entourage peoples that had pay thousandth of $$ to generate those text, keep up to date etc.. even for small website.

• If you think those legal notice are a good thing please do not hesitate to motivate your answer.
• If you have any good links about it, feel free to share.
• What are you doing your self on website of customer and/or for your private websites ?
• if you know a Lemmy community worth to share this post, step forward.

Thanks...

Hi,

Unfortunately I need to register a domain name for the "old" Internet. So this one with the domain name scam[^DomainScam] and so on..

So which registrar would you recommend that is the closed regarding the FLOSS / GNU philosophy ?

And then I hope the world, will migrate to something better than this WWW scam and I could get rid of this domain..

Thanks.

Hi,

For websites I've always restricted username to use Apostrophe ' and " and some times even space . If a website necessitate special character then I prefer to create an additional DB field ~DisplayName.

It's easier to forbid the use of Apostrophe, otherwise you will have to escape also your search query to match what has been recorded in the DB.

On the topic I've this https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/202902/is-single-quote-filtering-nonsense

But if you have better documentation feel free to share :)

Thanks

Hi,

I'm loading some content with XHR (aka Ajax) the loaded input elements that have a invalid value assigned are not checked trough the validation process.

so the CSS styling with :invalid is for example not working etc..

is there a way to force the validation process on those elements ?

edit: Browser is Firefox

Thanks.

Hi,

As CSS do not have a color-overlay[^1] filter.

There is some heavy work around:

https://isotropic.co/tool/hex-color-to-css-filter/

that use a combination of CSS filter to target the desired color...

Those online calculators are neat, but I would like an offline version, in case the provided one become inaccessible.

I've downloaded the zip of https://codepen.io/sosuke/pen/Pjoqqp

But it doesn't work locally.. :/

So I would like to know, if someone know one in 🐍 Python ? or how can I make one then ?

Or if someone know another way to have the color-overlay[^1] effect in html\css, I'm all ears !

Thank.

Hi,

As we might all know ( Early adopter of Lemmy ). Lemmy has been (also) made to give an alternative to the censor kingdom of Reddit ! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemmy_(software)

And further more Lemmy is fLOSS 😍

Great ! but watch out ! we don't want that Lemmy take the same path as Reddit did ! ( hopefully this is limited as it run as a ~Federated model )

Anyways, I believe to avoid censorship and jeopardize users privacy the following should be considered by Instance admins and moderators.

• Avoid as possible a mandatory email to register Doing so is not reducing spam or whatever you're afraid ! It's limiting users to create account that preserve their anonymity ! If you don't know why anonymity is important I'll suggest you to dig this website to start with https://www.laquadrature.net/en/support/#chiffrement BTW if I couldn't be anonymous, I wouldn't write any post on Lemmy, as I'm not living in a free country !! Look on other instances some admin have found clever way to circumvent bots without the need of an email.

• Also Lemmy don't require too much of moderation ! as any user can use the block feature in their options so you should not censor content in behave of others !

If the freedom of expression is limited to the ideas that we like, it is not freedom of expression. Noam Chomsky.

Cheers,

Hi,

Intro about XDA forum (skippable)

I was using a lot xda-developers.com for anything that was related to Android development and phone support. (ROM etc..)

But it became rotten -->

😱

😱

Current situation ton Install another ROM ~OS

As you may know, in order to install another ROM For example to get rid of Google ! 👿

You need one that is specifically build for your devices for example: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

This is so inefficient !

You might have heard of Treble that focus on this problem

• https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/05/here-comes-treble-modular-base-for.html
• https://www.hsc.com/resources/blog/what-is-android-treble/

sadly it's made by google 👿 and I doubt that they will release all the code. We will see.

If you don't know what is AOSP <--

The question : How to install AOSP on a "Supported device"

I've always use only google-free smartphone ! But OMG it's time consuming.

1. Found a smartphone ( with the spec you want and in your budget )
2. Check if you can have\import it in your "country"
3. Check if someone already cook a ROM that support that specific model
4. or create it by yourself (even more time consuming )
5. Sometimes: bypass any protection that prevent to install another ROM !
6. Finally install the ROM's, boot loader etc...

At this time, when it seem that Treble is not there yet... Do you have a quicker path\Solution ?

Thanks
