I don’t remember him speaking like that though! :P

It’s a federated protocol, but the network itself isn’t meaningfully federated, and is basically just Bluesky (the company) infrastructure. Hopefully that changes, because until then, it’s still a centralised social media platform, despite the underlying technology

Maybe I’ve just played too much Shadowrun with too many Australians, but lots of them ended up speaking like that, even when they weren’t meant to be Australian! :)

Brendan Eich. He donated money anti marriage equality organisations and politicians, and half of the Mozilla board resigned when he was appointed as Mozilla CEO. He stepped down from that role after 11 days, and went on to found Brave.

He’s also an anti-masker/pandemic conspiracy theorist

Sorry, homophobia!

I don’t use Google either

Aside from the transphobia and crypto shilling, I’m sure they’re great

Nope.

Not real.

carrying a bulky Z fold phone in my pocket only to be able to have a tablet once in a while and watch a movie is not interesting enough.

It suits my needs perfectly though! You can take my folding phone out of my cold dead hands

In addition to the federation issues, make sure your language settings are correct. If you haven’t included both your spoken languages and “Undetermined” in the language settings, then the UI will not display posts for the options you’re missing

Offline hours? Is that something that happens often enough to need a work around?

That’s not how it will fail. It will fail because it charges you for things you didn’t intend to purchase

Kinda? My bare bones initial self hosted media streaming setup was put together by my partner. It’s no longer bare bones, because I’ve since upgraded it, added new functionality and I keep it going.

I use digikam with sidecar files on my main photo editing PC.

We sync this directory with a media server on the local network that enables all of the local devices to access the photos and tags. In theory, it means we could run digikam on another device as well, and sync data between them via updates to the sidecar files, but in practice, we don’t do this and the media server is effectively read only.

Then, we sync the media server images with a photoprism instance that we have running on external hosting. Photoprism recognises the keywords and sidecar data from digikam, which lets me search and access the images from anywhere.

Not at all. It never occurred to me that this guy killed a leopard with his bare hands. I assumed he was a poacher or hunter, and something had gone badly wrong on his hunt.

If you only speak to people with years of experience, how exactly do people develop that experience?

I mean, I’ll just continue to not use Youtube…

Digikam has really strong tagging, searching and workflow tools. So I import to Digikam, sort by quality, reject/approve and tag in Digikam, and I use it to launch specific photos in to darktable for editing.

I use digiKam as the replacement for Lightrooms photo management tools.

I used darktable as a replacement for Lightroom’s photo editing tools.

I use a hosted Photoprism install for making the photos available online, sharing with friends/family etc.

Queer folk don’t owe their oppressors space, especially, whilst their oppressors are still actively targeting them.
