most pictures are from the usa (supposedly). so recaptcha is asking me to know how crosswolks are marked at the other end of the world? i guess similiar, to the way they are marked where i live? but how do i know if i am right?

i feel like this riddle does not only block bots but also people who do not know nuances of the culture in which it was composed.
then again: i don't know, does making mistakes make me more human in the eyes of the machine? or does it make me a bot.

i am annoyed.

so i think much has been said about the privacy implications of eg #recaptcha.

my problem today is this:
first it is highly annoying that it doesn't give proper feedback (is a photography of a depiction of a bicycle a bicycle? no. is it to be clicked? i still don't know.) so i spent a lot of time angrily klicking around trying to solve a riddle, that is basically impossible to solve but ends eventually.

Yet there is another, bigger problem: when asked to click e.g. on crosswalks, ... (1/2)

"Niemand droht mit der Armee, die Polizei ist schon da!"

Die Lage der Geflüchteten auf dem Balkan ist unbeschreiblich, es gibt Menschenrechtsverletzungen aller Art an der Grenze Kroatien/ Bosnien und besonders schlimm ist die Lage im abgebrannten Lager Lipa in Bosnien.

Am 30.Januar finden deshalb bundesweite Kundgebungen statt. Es sind wirklich sehr viele Organisationen im Bündnis.

Bitte achtet auf lokale Ankündigungen!

oh sry, i didn't realise i just could've tagged @pixelfed.

so, if i was ok with people using my uploaded conten't for what so ever: is there a way to communicate that? (e.g. under a less restrictive license like CC BY-NC?)

or do i get something wrong?

ok, this should be an answer (see under 2.a):
https://pixelfed.social/site/terms

but this applies only (?) for pixelfed.social -
are there instances that allow users to modify these licenses for their accout or even every pic individually?

is there a way to give or get information about the license under which a pic is published in #pixelfed?

🌎 🌍 🌏 I'm working on a #map of #Mastodon servers "near me" basically mapping servers that are region-specific, as a way for folks to find Mastodon users in their region. Blue = signed on to the Mastodon Covenant, Green = I"m not sure they did.

This is my first time using #openstreetmap so I'd be grateful of any and all feedback, and offers to collaborate - I assume I can share the map for editing somehow 🤷
