Due to unfortunate life choices I have become one of the main yamlwranglers for the #Peertube @coopcloud recipe. Thanks to the help of @3wordchant we finally managed to update the recipe to the latest version. Please update your Peertube co-opcloud installs ASAP because doing so fixes a critical security vulnerability: https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/releases/tag/v8.1.8

@aral Calling it a "child abuse law" is such a bullshit take. It's a mass surveillance law.

just describe the image the way you would describe it to a friend on the phone

if it's just text, copy and paste the text into the image description

if it's just an image, describe what you're seeing in the image

if it's both, include both the text and the visual description

if it's a joke, describe all the components necessary for the joke to work

it's really that simple

True story.

Two pieces of good news for W Social:

1) I may have found the problem that has bricked their network for the past week.

2) This may very well be the LAST article I ever write about them. It's exhausting and stressful and I want to retire from this beat and go back to promoting the Fediverse.

Thank you all for your support and encouragement. And to my trusted source (a Fedi friend) who found and shared with me brilliant gems: THANK YOU! It's been a real honor collaborating with you ❤️

Any recommendations on an encrypted location-sharing app for smartphone?

I'm looking for an app appropriate for someone to track the smartphone of a child or an adult in cognitive decline (with their consent!) but that doesn't leak geolocation info to the app provider and their 3672 closest vendors.
