Dear Fedi friends,

Good morning from !

Yesterday was pure magic: I loved every single presentation in the Social Web devroom, with devs and Fediverse champions sharing their inspiring work.

I didn’t post anything because I was so absorbed in all the talks (plus @liaizonwakest ⁂ and @SaschaSascha Foerster :bonndigital: did a fantastic job chronicling the event).

I can’t stop thinking about one of @benpateBen Pate 🤘🏻’s closing slides:

“Every single thing you do to improve the Fediverse is a win for humanity”

YES! 🙌

United States finalises new rules to fast-track seabed mining permits

Under the changes, companies will face fewer hurdles, with the number of required environmental assessments and public consultation periods cut in half.

And on top of that, US officials have announced a minerals survey covering some 30,000 square nautical miles off American Samoa.

So, pretty gross scraping going on by nodebb.org.

They’re scraping some content from here, and posting it on their website as if it were posts by users there.

Ick.

I link here to “my” user profile on their site, which is just a rehash of my profile here, and it has 8 of my posts. Not many, but I find this highly distasteful.

You can try to see if your “user” profile is there, but I’m not sure if it pulls it across upon the URL being requested, or only if it’s already scraped your account here, so beware.

Maybe block first then check (and please let me know if you find it has perhaps previously found your account).

I can see one of @ApplesauceFluxes' boosts of another account has made it over there, too. So it’s not just your own posts it might be scraping!

In fact, I can see whole conversations there!

Looks like most of the scraping in relation to my posts/replies/boosts has happened over the last month, and is certainly *not* comprehensive in that timeframe.

I’m going to block the relevant domain (community.nodebb.org) here, and report them to the admin of my alt account asking they do the same.

Hat tip to @vga256 for bringing this to my attention.

Spread the word, I’m seeing many instances’ users over there, and likely none (or very, *very* few) have any idea it’s going on.

Throughout our walk we could see the London Cable Car. While a cable car might make sense for a mountainous city, it’s a ridiculous means of transport for somewhere as flat as London, and it’s almost entirely used by tourists. So of course we had to give it a go.

Near the highest point the cable car slowed down, and with today’s windy weather it started swaying alarmingly. The views across London were spectacular, but on the approach to the Greenwich peninsula it was very visible how the Millennium Dome had failed to encourage further regeneration of the surrounding former industrial area.

View from a cable car. Another cable car is visible nearby, with more in the distance. A huge white spiral pylon is on the edge of the photo, standing in empty land. Part of the River Thames is visible in one corner.
