Hi all:
I am new here. I have found two bugs related with the new Map feature and
after asking in the IRC, I registered myself (as "txopi") on Trac and
tryed to create a new ticket. But i have no permissions to create new
tickets ("TICKET_CREATE TICKET_CREATE privileges are required to perform
this operation"), so finally I decided to subscribe to this mailing list.
I don't want to publish to the world my location every time i send a post
to identi.ca. I think that with the Location field in my profile is
enough. I understand that there will be people that want to say where they
are all the time, but it is not my case. I have read this page in the wiki
to disable this feature, but it haven't helpt me:
http://status.net/wiki/Location_fuzzing
BUG 1: FF 3.0 over Ubuntu
In my Ubuntu laptop I run Firefox 3.0.16 and I don't have the option
explained in the wiki (Page info -> Permissions -> Share my location). As
I don't have that option, I don't know how to avoid publishing my location
each time I want to post something. I thought to use TOR but that way I
don't solve nothing :-(
BUG 2: FF 3.5 over Windows
Today I have tryed to send a post to identi.ca with another computer
(Firefox 3.5.6 over Windows XP) and it happens the same, my location is
made public without my consent. I have checked that "Share my location"
(at Page info -> Permissions) is blocked, but anyway my location is
showed. Why? I have no idea. I have blocked all the permissions but the
cookies (to allow login on identi.ca) but when I send the post in the
page, my location is published anyway. So I delete it again.
Proposal:
I don't know if you will like to receibe a proposal from someone that is
not helping in the development of StatusNet, but anyway here it is: I
think that the automatic location feature should be controled in the
server's user configuration, not with the particular page permissions
(each user can use different machines and users and browsers to send posts
and it isn't logical to control all the preferences with the server's
configuration but one, the most personal info). Or at least, I think that
in the server's user configuration should be one option like this:
Automatic location detection:
o No (never)
o Yes (depends on the browser's configuration)
By default, I think that the location shouldn't be published, following
the same criteria to make optional the personal information fields Full
name, Location, Biography, etc.
If you need me to give more information about software used when detecting
the bugs, or you want to try something if it can help you to replicate the
bugs or try solutions, or whatever, just tell me!
Meantime I hope you understand that I don't want to send posts (dents?) to
identi.ca.
Txopi.
