“That image of [being a persuasive soft power] has gone. The damage to American soft power is permanent.
Trump may go, but we could always know there'd be another Trump.”

When you hear someone say of his people "we like to have lots of children because we don't know how many will survive"...

Truly unforgettable moments at @bylinetimes Festival.

It would be very interesting to also have on Fediverse (I refer to Mastodon, Pixelfed, Bluesky and Flipboard, for example) information for a photo posted about the "#Credentials", as for example happens on Linkedin, where a reader can click on a "CR" icon at the top left and get info if the user has set the credentials through Lightroom or Photoshop and Adobe (for example see here: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:share:7235616090943324161/?actorCompanyId=102288189 "bab al taqwâ" image and look and click the CR icon above).

I know it's not easy to implement, but we should think about it.

The visitor of a post needs to know if a photo has been treated with AI but also if it has credentials of this type (and also for a "#byline" of the author).

@salvomic

How is it going with the implementation in Mastodon instances of the option for the "byline" dedicated to journalists?

I had asked to participate in my accounts for my newspapers to try the service, but so far I have not received an answer...

In my opinion it is an interesting function, also to protect readers, and I hope it will be offered on a large scale, and soon.

#News and any #information #media should always have a #byline. #Sourcing is critical.

I don’t trust #NYT on #Gaza anymore for example.
