I don't understand why I have to install an extension in my browser just for something as simple as posting a little text at identi.ca, but if it is you decision I respect it. > > The only browsers we've found so far that do lookups but fail to prompt > the user for geolocation permission are the Mac and Linux versions of > Google Chrome/Chromium; the Windows version gives a Gears prompt. Ok. Please, try to keep in mind the people that don't use the last browser version for a lot of reasons (not availabe in the distro, standar platform in the organization, not supported for that cellphone version...), can't install extensions (no permissions, accesibility problems...) or just use other browsers (lynks, opera, seamonkey, amaya...). An extra option in StatusNet will solve all this situations at once. Also every time you post from a computer/device that is not your. I agree that geolocation feature is not negative, but I also think it is important to try to not bother users. To publish personal data by default when in most cases it isn't interesting nor useful at all the exact location of the user, in my opinion, is a wrong decision. The right one would be to offer that cool (and sometimes useful option) but not enabled by default. Like this image but with the checkbox unchecked: http://status.net/wiki/File:Mock-found.png Sorry in advance if this is not the right place to talk about this new feature of StatusNet. > >> 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 reloaded the page and instead of Eibar (at 40 km from me in that moment) I get Vitoria (at 65 km from me right now). I thought it was because I changed my location but as Evan has explained in other message, what was happening is that now my real location is not showed. Later I will check again with FF 3.0 + stinky Google Gears (from a third location) and I will see what happens... If my location at identi.ca is always the same and calculated from the Location field in my profile, I agree with that.

As I explained later, I think that the "extra option" is needed and that should be disabled by default. If not, I think that this should be mentioned in the TOS to ensure you are not breaking the law in some countries. > > Should make it to live site within a week unless we hit a major snag. > > -- brion vibber (brion @ status.net) _______________________________________________ StatusNet-dev mailing list StatusNet-dev@lists.status.net http://lists.status.net/mailman/listinfo/statusnet-dev
