@tinker @lispi314 I'm the only person who masks at my bimonthly in-person LUG meeting (12-15 people). The other meetings we have are over jitsi.

@notsle @gayint Persona is tied to LinkedIn as well

Ha, #LinkedIn verification uses the creepy #Persona service. And a slew of other #SurveillanceCapitalism nightmare shebang..https://thelocalstack.eu/posts/linkedin-identity-verification-privacy/https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47098245

@PensioNien I wish they were this efficient when i'm trying to get a visa, instead of a years long "comprehensive security screening".

#Persona, a Peter #Theil of #Palantir fame funded provider of identity and age verification services for companies like #Discord and the entire #UK, left their code base open to the web. Of course they did. Let’s look at what it does, shall we? The platform performs 269 individual verification checks on user data, far beyond basic age verification. #Surveillance: Persona’s system screens users against global watchlists, including those for #terrorism, #espionage, and politically exposed persons (#PEPs), using facial recognition and risk scoring. Researchers confirmed that the government-facing and consumer-facing versions of Persona use the same underlying code, suggesting a unified surveillance infrastructure.Data Retention: Personal data including government ID, phone numbers, names, faces, selfies, IP addresses, browser fingerprints, and device fingerprints—is collected and retained for up to three years. (1/2) edit hashtags, new info

So turns out investments from Peter Thiel are behind Persona the company now processing millions of people’s facial biometric. What could go wrong? https://www.openrightsgroup.org/press-releases/roblox-reddit-and-discord-users-compelled-to-use-biometric-id-system-backed-by-palantir-co-founder-peter-thiel/ #Persona #biometrics #surveillance

In 2020-2021 years I tried NodeBB for the first time, it seems then it was the ~1.5 version of the forum and I remember exactly what I fell in love with at first sight - the navigator in the header [image: 1682459187395-f88c54e1-721f-4eb9-97e5-5d2550cf28d2.jpeg]

Hello, I'm wondering how I can make the teaser show subcategories within a main category. Currently it only shows the latest posts/replies from the main category and not what's inside of it: [image: vwYNYqr.png] Inside of it: [image: 11uocdY.png] Is there a way around this? Thank you!

ok thank'll look

@psychobunny said: Maybe this might help? https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-theme-persona/blob/master/lib/persona.js#L154 We would have to export the slideout object for other libraries to use Yeah, I was trying a hacky solution with just a JS touch library and activating the slide out event, but it didnt work out well. I'll have to wait patiently for a better solution to appear.

@Codejet said: can you still manually change to lavender in ACP after install / upgrade ? and run it this way what is the benefit of adding a hook listener, or are u removing vanilla/lavender functionality Yes, this change doesn't affect how you use NodeBB, it only affects you if you're a theme developer (with a Lavender-variant or vanilla-based theme) and you want to maintain compatibility post v0.8.x

Hello, Does anyone know how to show recent cards on custom homepage or any other pages? Thanks.

Ah ha! Thanks.

Images don't post from mobile either.

@scottalanmiller said: That's a weird one. Truly. The weirdness is in fact the error comes randomly O_o Steps to reproduce: continue pressing a "Page Reload Button" (Ctrl + R?), one per 10-20 attempts you'll catch the error. No matter what page you are on, even ACP. And not only the one error, some others too https://a.pomf.se/pidgjn.png

Just a quick update, @psychobunny ended up taking the lessons he learned writing the sidebar in Persona, and wrote another one for our new marketing site, and just today, spent a bit of back and forth with @Schamper to debug it. He's planning to backport it to Persona, so... soon!
