"A new technology can inconspicuously scan the same surface [a blank wall] for shadows and reflections imperceptible to the human eye, then analyze them to determine details, including how many people are in the room—and what they are doing." #privacy https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-blank-wall-can-show-how-many-people-are-in-a-room-and-what-theyre-doing/

OwnCast is a free open source self-hostable streaming platform, basically a libre alternative to Twitch, and also currently testing Fediverse support too!

There's more info about it on its website at https://owncast.online

The project is looking for help running an OwnCast dedicated Fediverse account. (There is currently a bot at @owncast but this just provides automated posts about streamers.)

If you think you can help with this, or want to be involved with the project in any other way, get in touch with OwnCast here:

The project lead is on the Fediverse at @gabek

If you want to preview how a post looks on Mastodon without anyone else seeing it, select a visibility of "Direct" and toot it. As long as you haven't @-ed anyone, only you will be able to see this post.

It will be a DM to yourself, which means it shows you exactly what the published post looks like, but keeps it hidden.

When you're happy to let others see it, use the "Delete & re-draft" option (in the post's "..." menu) to change the visibility to a more public setting. Then just toot it again, and it will be visible.

(If you want to make multiple changes, just keep DMing the post to yourself and redrafting until you're happy. When you're happy, redraft one more time and change the visibility to a non-direct setting.)

@jameshjacksonjr @manjarolinux@botsin.space We switched to EndeavourOS and prefer that now.

Auditor app version 30 released: https://github.com/GrapheneOS/Auditor/releases/tag/30.

See the linked release notes for an overview of the improvements and a link to the full list of changes.

Love the light and dark themes/wallpapers provided by Olauncher! One of the best launchers on @fdroidorg@mastodon.technology. Also @GrapheneOS has given us stellar battery life on the Pixel 4a.

Exciting spec changes, exciting releases for clients, QA and lots of testing, a conference held on Matrix... there has been a lot again #ThisWeekInMatrix!

For info about that impact on Jupiter that happened just a few days ago (9/13/2021), here's a great summary page by Marc Delcroix: astrosurf.com/planetessaf/do… As of today there are 5 independent discoveries of it, and 4 subsequent detections in reanalyses after the fact.
