I’d personally say most of those are “microblog” styled interfaces, but I can’t actually provide a clear cut definitional difference between “photo blog” and “micro blog” other than a vibes based thing about including photos in EVERY post or not.
But yeah, love all the options we have. I was just talking with someone about missing Web 1.0, I’ll have to check out GoToSocial and spin it up on my hardware.
Some how this slipped through the cracks among all the other suggestions, but PixelFed is sort of the only fedi photo blog alternative.
Funny enough there’s a section on body cams in a video essay that was just released by a creator I think does pretty good work. The video is technically about other things, but body cams come up in the conversation and the video goes into pretty good depth on them.
Oof. This hurt my soul. I tell myself it’s worth it “for the reproducibility”
I’m not denying the usage of the footage. Like yes, of course that is the exact example of when it should be used. However, many times, even if not releasing footage seems incriminating to the populace, when it is successfully withheld accountability is lost. Even when the footage is released cops often see no consequences for their actions, so the footage ends up just serving to normalize and broadcast police violence resulting in control via fear not peace via collaboration. But that’s all more anecdotal I fear.
In the end the data pretty much says body cams have a negligible impact on policing, at least according to this PBS article (most of the way through the article for that), but you can also cherry pick quotes from this to support pretty much any stance.
The idealized version of body cams would help with police reform, but I don’t believe in reform, I believe in abolition, so in the end they just look to me like giving them more tech to be twisted for oppression rather than accountability. If police thought body cams would hold them accountable they wouldn’t care about citizens filming them, and the fact people are being prosecuted for doing that says everything it needs to about what the police think about footage of their violence and crimes.
Just my thoughts. If you’ve got better info than my lone article from a source I’m slightly partial to I’d love to read it! I took a class on carceral technology, and I’ll try to track down some of the sources we used!
Welcome to greener pastures! Glad to have you and I’m looking forward to seeing your builds!
Tidal is owned by Jay-Z so it’s not a ton better, though the hi-fi and paying artists better was enough reason for me for now. With easy migration too, it made the most sense to also quickly get my family off of the Spotify family plan. I’m also trying to grow my offline music library again, and Tidal being hi-fi “allows” for some interesting usability to that end. Ripping CDs and buying on Bandcamp has also been a good shift!
The most artist centric option would probably be that final one. Buying CD or digital albums directly from artists and growing your offline library. Toss Jellyfin on something and you have your own personal streaming platform!
Came for the open source trans autism, stayed for the…well I stayed for the open source trans autism too, but you get my point.
If I’m remembering correctly, the data on body cams actually shows they don’t help with police accountability much at all, and instead just serve as additional surveillance of already over policed communities. Like I’m pretty sure they haven’t reduced rates of police violence. I’ll try to find the paper I read about this, but basically giving police more technology isn’t the solution, abolishing them is.
+1 for this
First I’m hearing of BasicSync. Thanks for mentioning it.
Maybe set up an SMB share or something? I’m generally happy with syncthing, but every now and then I do just want to dump files off device. For that I keep a share running over Tailscale (Headscale soon™) and use that in a pinch.
Maybe eventually, but we should focus on juusssstttt one or two issues here on earth first.
Purely visual art probably Moebius. Sort of set the tone for a lot of art I like across all mediums.
Or my own personal server.
Been very interested in NixOS on mobile. Would love more thoughts and some details about the process of getting it installed. What window manager are you using?
I’ve been loving Niri!! It feels like how my brain organizes my thoughts. Plus there’s some subtle things I love. Like user set window size is always respected when opening and resizing other windows or the built in screenshot tool.
I have also been recommended River multiple times and it also sounds very interesting so I’ll be checking that out at some point, but I think Niri will be my home for a while.
There’s lots of people, myself included, that would help you out. The only games I can’t play on my Linux install are games with invasive anti cheat. That goes for steam games, games with their own launchers, and games from DRM free installers like from GoG and…other places. Cyberpunk specifically I have a lot of time in running perfectly across 4 different Linux distros. It can definitely work for you too.

Might be able to just get the phone back in working order.
EDIT: And a retailer for the screen assembly for good measure.

Yeah! I like PeerTube. I want to start posting there, but I’m struggling to find the time to edit together videos.
