ActivityPub Starter Kits update:
I'm making exceptional progress and am wrapping up a few things before I prepare to launch this exciting new service!
ICYMI: I'm building an open source/self-hostable Starter Kit service that will allow fediverse users to safely build kits and share/use them with ease.
An excellent layperson's breakdown of how Bluesky works, beneath the hood ...
... specifically, what's decentralized about it (content storage, for now) and what, for now, isn't (the part that queries for updates in user's posts, and then assembles it into a feed)

Now I've recorded, edited and uploaded a new pod episode for Hacker Public Radio. It will be aired 28 November.

Nu är jag bara en tidningsläsare och inte en tidningsmakare, men jag tycker artikelrubriken som kom för en halvtimme sedan är för dyster. Eller vad tycker du?
"Michael Winiarski: För lite och för sent för att rädda Ukraina"

I Attended Google’s Creator Conversation Event, And It Turned Into A Funeral

DigiKam 8.5.0 is released! Professional Photo Management with the Power of Open Source.
Available for Windows, macOS and Linux. For Linux, I recommend to use the AppImage from the team, see their download page.
I use digiKam as my photo catalog manager and for other photo tasks. I also use some other photo tools, but digiKam is the center for my digital photo management.

I samband med att jag gick mänskliga rättighetskursen Integritet, teknik och övervakning såg jag den tyska filmen De andras liv.
Filmen utspelar sig i DDR (Östtyskland) 1984 och handlar om övervakningssamhället genom Stasi.
En jobbig film som jag tycker är mycket bra. Den finns på SVT Play nu.

Jag tänker på när Botkyrkabyggen hade bioreklam om att hyra hos dem. Och i tidsperioeden då de kunde plugga igen en trea till en tvåa, jag tror det gällde Albydelen av beståndet, som man sedan kunde öppna om man ville ha större. En tid när det var så många tomma lägenheter hos Botkyrkabyggen. Jag tror det var något efter jag började hyra hos Botkyrkabyggen dvs mitten av 80-talet, en opluggad två. Apropå Norra B, så är det nu 30 år sedan Välkommen till förorten kom ut, förtäljde Kulturnyheterna.
Big News
Freedom of the Press Foundation (FPF) has just launched its own dedicated Mastodon server, social.freedom.press: https://freedom.press/about/announcements/our-new-home-on-the-fediverse/
Now all FPF-related activity on Mastodon is now accessible from a single Fediverse server: @securedrop @dangerzone @foiafeed
Hopefully this move will be an example to other organizations. "The Fediverse is nonalgorithmic and community-driven, without the potential algorithmic distortions or content suppression imposed by centralized platforms."

Now I was close to use Google translate again, but I stopped myself in time to instead open my paper book dictionary to look up the translation. #books #offline #dictionary
Without notice or explanation, Apple reportedly pulls Russians' access to podcasts by independent journalists at The Insider, Echo of Moscow, and BBC Russian. Not a good look, fruit company. https://zona.media/news/2024/11/14/nopodcast
My mate @kevie is a nae bad lad, & recorded a show for Hacker Public Radio:
hpr4249 :: Audio Streams on the Command Line

He was very clear & concise on the subject.
Let's give the terminal some love!

Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter stops publishing on X.
“Since Elon Musk took over, the platform has increasingly merged with his own and Donald Trump's political ambitions, while the climate on X has become more harsh and extreme. Therefore, we will not publish anything there from our official accounts, says editor-in-chief Peter Wolodarski.

Jag grunnade på övervakningskameror i offentliga rummet.
Särskilt i kombination med olika former av automatisk igenkänning. Jag förstår det goda i att förhindra och utreda brott och olyckor med övervakningen. Men jag tycker samtidigt att det är otäckt att denna typ av övervakning inte går att värja sig mot, det finns ingen personlig valmöjlighet.
Än värre med övervakningen om staten blir direkt ond, om brottslingar tar sig in och övervakar mig, eller t ex en angripare i krig. #övervakning
"Mojeek is quite a breath of fresh air in the search engine arena. The thing I like the most is that you can set different search engines to query as well. Once you hit the search button, at the bottom of the results, you will see other search engines that you enabled in the settings. Clicking on it will bring you there, searching for the term you searched on Mojeek. Pretty neat, I would say."
“Land for peace” sounds nice, but the president of Russia isn’t fighting for land. Putin is fighting to destroy Ukraine as a nation. When the next U.S. president takes office he will therefore face the same choices : help Putin win, or help him lose.
