I saw someone do this earlier in the week, and fancied doing the same. All the grass types from the wild areas of my garden.

Edited to add a tag: #grasstodon - please use it if you post your own so we can see all the fun biodiversity!

The internet in Iran is already gone for several days. For some reasons api.github.com is still accessible and people discuss possible circumvention methods in a GitHub issue:

(The whole repo is a forum for discussion internet censorship)

A while back I followed an initial small group of landscape photographers and then a bunch of the other photographers (landscape and otherwise) that they boosted photos from, and now my fediverse feed is at least half nice photographs. I can recommend, especially if you find these trying times in your social media feed.

(This is not original to me, I saw @dwenius mentioning doing it and decided it was a good idea.)

The street that my mum lives in is a one-way street, but wasn't marked as such on #Google Maps. This caused many drivers to drive the wrong way. I have tried to edit it on Google Maps (there is such functionality), but to no avail. No matter how often I submitted a change (with photos of street signs!), Google said "Sorry, we could not verify it".

Solution: Edit the street on #OpenStreetMap! A few months after I did this, Google seems to have stolen the data, as it regularly does, and now the street is correct in both datasets!

the many ways AI is making humans less productive #1:

- I have to proof I am human when visiting website
- websites are generally slower because they need to check if my browser is an AI bot
- I spent time every week now, restarting services affected by AI scraping bots

And I am not even using AI

Als ich heute die Regenbogenfahne auf dem Turm der Sparrenburg sah, wurde mir gleich leichter ums Herz.

Der Faschismus mag in der Bundesregierung angekommen sein, aber nicht in #Bielefeld.
