From the U.S. Press Freedom Tracker:

Freelance photojournalist Matthew Kaplan was arrested Saturday while covering a protest against mass deportations in Gary, Indiana.

He was charged with criminal trespass, disorderly conduct and resisting law enforcement.

51 years after Roe v. Wade affirmed abortion rights, the fight rages on. We demand free, safe, and accessible abortion for all. Check out related titles at pmpress.org.

Current state of the 🌎 shows how important it is that the 📱 in our pockets can stay free of surveilance and be used as their users intend to, not any corporation.

This is even more motivation to hack on #phosh and #LinuxMobile

✨ #opensource is amazing, episode 67,265:

2 months ago (precisely) I was complaining about #codeberg displaying irrelevant issue previews on social media.

I opened an issue, then @mfenniak opened a fantastic PR about it as his first contribution to #forgejo , and after a respectful review, it was merged for v10.0 which was released some days ago, and deployed to Codeberg.

And you can see the result right here: https://codeberg.org/forgejo/forgejo/issues/6043

Another month, another conference.

#libobscura will be a topic at #FOSDEM !

https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-6184-libobscura-cameras-are-still-difficult/

I'll dive a bit deeper into the mobile side of the camera problem compared to my #ccc38 talk. If I have time left, there will be a quick demo of #Prolog-driven capability querying :D

Many people in our community's Facebook group are extremely disenchanted with Zuckerberg's decision to remove all constraints on misinformation mongers.

I'd like to see WordPress.org -- or someone who wants to make some money -- create a plugin that replicated the functionality of a private Facebook group.

Include the FB UX as one option, but make it more flexible if desired.

Welcome home Leonard Peltier and it’s still fuck Joe Biden.

I wonder if an Online Safety Act Small Sites Hackathon would be worthwhile.

A group of interested people collaborating on toolkits and tooling to help small sites comply with Parts 3 and 5.

Risk assessment tools.

FOSS age assurance tools (if possible).

That kind of thing.

Some of us are doing stuff, but it feels siloed.

#OnlineSafetyAct

With #mangoMussolini taking the helm of #usPol today I've opted not to rant into the void but to raise the voices of others. To that end I chose today to start or renew memberships of organisations that do that well:

USA:
* @pmpress
* AK Press https://akpress.org

Australia:
* @3CRMelbourne ("Yeah, Nah, Pasaran!")
* 3ZZZ (#esperanto language radio)
* Jura Books
* New International Bookshop (NIBS)

It's not much but it helps. More suggestions welcome.

11 years ago Klint Finley laid out how neo-reactionary thought was taking hold in Silicon Valley

"many professionals, rather than admit to their role in gentrification, wealth disparity and job displacement, are casting themselves as victims. "

It remains an an amazing primer

Better than that horseshit NYT interview of "intellectual" Curtis Yarvin
