🤔 Looking at this UI, Forem could probably implement ActivityPub at this point.
Every logo is a server. "Forem feed" = Federated timeline. "Follow" = follow and adding their Local timeline to my Following timeline? 🤔

There is a giant mountain in the US carved with the faces of a couple of slavers, and two guys who tried to stop slavery. Now most Americans will stop right there and say, "wait, two? Lincoln did that though..." They'll say that because Americans don't know anything about their own history, including the fact that the practice of slavery remained central to the southern economy well through Roosevelt's administration. If this is not familiar to you (because, maybe, you were taught history in the US) and you'd like to actually learn about that, you might want to read "Slavery by Another Name."
But let's talk about half-slaver mountain for a minute. This mountain is functionally a sacred site for Americans, but it's literally a sacred site for Black Hills Sioux. Speaking of stolen land, did you know that JBLM (a military base in Washington state) is built on land promised the Puyallup in the Treaty of Medicine Creek before being stolen in 1918? I remember being taught that all the land was stolen a long time ago and now there's nothing we can do. Yeah, does anyone remember that DAPL was under Obama? In fact, unused federal lands are supposed to be returned to the tribes from which the land was taken but there's a whole site to auction off federal property... That's a whole section of the government dedicated to violating the Treaty of Fort Laramie.
They could just comply with the treaty, as they are legally obligated to do. These violations are ongoing. Slavery, again, is still legal. Slaves are still used by major corporations today, they just have to be tricked into confessing to a crime first. The sins that this country is built on remain fully active today... Because the system was built to preserve white supremacists patriarchy. How could the founding of the US not lead *directly* to Trump? How could this have been different, from the beginning?
But, please, tell me, how, exactly, are you going to fix that by voting harder in the mid terms. How?

I am going to keep whining about this for web sites. If you show ALL products then the default for the checklist is ALL items to be marked, not like the example. Second is STOP REFRESHING EVERY TIME I CLICK. Have a nice button that says 'REFRESH'.
Why? I want to see every maker EXCEPT HP! I should not have to click 6 options and wait for a refresh for each one.
Also, give us the option to select all and select none!
Like how hard is that?

I knew I was cranky about AI, but I guess I didn't realize just how cranky until I filled out this obnoxious and wildly boosterish questionnaire from the government of Canada.

Just thinking about this OSA thing and I’ve still not come across a site that is blocking me or requiring proof of my age. Maybe I just look at the wrong websites?

Good Morning #Canada
Recent news may have some of you panicking with the announcement that AOL Dial Up Services will officially shut down on September 30th of this year. Yikes! But, the Canadian government has your backup plan as they attempt to provide high-speed internet services to 100% of Canadians by 2030. Current estimates put access at 94.5%, and the next target is 98% by the end of 2026.
I kinda miss the phone couplers, bragging about the size of my "Baud Rate," and the beep booping screeching announcement of going online. OK.... not really.

Open question about OpenGraph to any geek who feels like responding 😄
BlueSky and LinkedIn fail to fetch the featured image for posts on axbom.com (my English site) but does it with no issues for posts on axbom.se (my Swedish site).
From my perspective they are set up in exactly the same way (Ghost sites). My estimate is that this started happening more than a month ago and I have no idea why.

Hadn’t heard about this previously, but the people who are organizing the version local to me are definitely good folk whose judgment I trust: https://drawtheline.world
(Not just Canada - the web site pulls in your local version.)

👋 Hello! I’m Łukasz. Thirty-something, living in Warsaw, Poland. On fedi since 2021 or so. Right now, I'm merging my two accounts into one and giving this profile a fresh new start.
I live a few parallel lives.
Most of the time I’m a web developer. I work with TypeScript, React and all that jazz. But I still enjoy static site generators and good ol’ HTML/CSS.
In another life, I’m a documentary photographer and photojournalist. I’m interested in activism, art and culture, politics, and pretty much anything interesting happening on city streets. A big part of my photography journey involves documenting protests and demonstrations in Poland, especially those related to human rights and social issues. I’m also drawn to street art, particularly when it carries strong messages.
I occasionally blog and translate. Many years ago I wrote two books about WordPress. However, these days I’m more likely to go outside and touch grass than spend even more time in front of a screen.
Outside of that, expect me to post about mental health and politics. I promise to use CWs when appropriate.
I post in both English and Polish, depending on the topic.
Aaaand that’s it. Nice to meet you! ☺️

Listened in to the Academy Software Foundation's virtual townhall about the Open Review Initiative. I knew that project because they provide very useful ffmpeg command lines and they're doing all the encoding tests to figure out good quality settings and obscure parameters.
Learnings from the presentation: prores by ffmpeg is sadly pretty crappy compared to the real prores from Apple. There's the OpenAPV codec that is gearing up to be an open-source alternative:

After more than 5 years I've finally written a post on my old blog because this post is longer. It's about my recent success of repurposing old hardware at the office to build a PC with two graphics cards. It hosts two virtual machines and each one has access to a dedicated Nvidia GPU.
With two monitors, mice and keyboards two people could even work on site at the same machine 😎 But this is primarily meant to provide remote desktops for I/O and editorial.
