damonI’m curious. This place has a very vocal anti-capitalist community, anytime moneys come up people shout about donations. When it comes to consent and Trust & Safety I’ve seen many people attack devs. Yet, when #Mastodon was asking for donations to fund a position it was largely crickets. #IFTAS has done great work and set out to be a great benefit to the #fediverse and #OpenSocialWeb yet they’re struggling to keep the lights on. How can that be? So many of you are always talking about donations so why are projects underfunded and servers shutting down due to lack of funding? Where are you passionate and vocal lot? https://wedistribute.org/2025/02/iftas-funding-crisis/ https://about.iftas.org/

You remember #Apple scanning all images on your #mobile device? If you have an #Android #phone, a new app that doesn't appear in your menu has been automatically and silently installed (or soon will be) by #Google. It is called #AndroidSystemSafetyCore and does exactly the same - scan all images on your device as well as all incoming ones (via messaging). The new spin is that it does so "to protect your #privacy". You can uninstall this app safely via System -> Apps. https://developers.google.com/android/binary_transparency/google1p/overview
Defeated. For now.
Have been scratching my noodle trying to run a fediverse app in docker for several days. Seem to be running into new issues while troubleshooting, and the lang/arch are kind of obscure
I should have paid more attention to the "this software is in beta" disclaimers, and maybe the learning curve was/is too steep....but im determined to find my place in the community, just need to find the right place to sharpen my axe. Suggestions are welcome.

You're not into electoral anything, ever? Cool, there's mutual aid work in your community that needs help. And food banks and libraries and school boards. Archive projects. Foster kids.

Ben AlldridgeIt’s pretty insane just how much data you can pull out of an unmodified #canon5dmarkiv sensor shooting #astrophotography. The fact I was balanced on a very slippery rock with my tripod in waist deep water at 3am with my tracking mount after driving 8 hours to shoot this feels like it deserves some credit.
#photography folks, what’s the dumbest setup you’ve used for the shot?
