Swiss glacier collapse buries most of village of Blatten

Climate change is causing the glaciers - frozen rivers of ice - to melt faster and faster, and the permafrost, often described as the glue that holds the high mountains together, is also thawing.

Local news has much more extensive footage

PieFed, a link aggregator platform for the fediverse, has made some interesting updates recently. It is one of the first (if not the first) platform to add support for Passkeys to the platform. It has also added flair (community-specific tags) to posts, that are federated as well. PieFed has also made a image hashing service available that can be used by any fediverse platform.

The branch of fediverse software that consists of Friendica, Hubzilla and more, is now 15 years old. The main developer Mike Macgirvin lists the large number of features that the platforms have, including groups, nomadic identity, comment controls, and much more. When it comes to the large variety of features, no fediverse platform comes anywhere close to what this branch of platforms offer

The United States has signed the Take It Down Act into law, which criminalises the distribution of nonconsensual intimate images, and requires social media platforms to remove them when notified within 48 hours. IFTAS has written a guide with more information, focused on fediverse server administrators. IFTAS notes that “even small, volunteer-run instances will be expected to comply if they are based in or hosted in the US, host US user accounts, or federate content that reaches US audiences.”

Welcome Fedi Friends to episode 18 of Fireside Fedi! I'm your host ozoned. Fireside Fedi is a show about folks within the Fediverse. If you're seeing this, you are a part of the Fediverse.

With me today is Nik Clayton! Principled Software Engineer, Gentleman Programmer and is a current packli steward. Nik also posts some excellent looking food.

This is the home of Coreyartus Imagery's twice-weekly livestream. Corey streams on Tuesdays and Wednesday afternoons 1-4:00pm PDT (GMT-7).

Corey narrates his process as he progresses through his artwork. In the end, these images end up as prints, greeting cards, stationery, calendars and other merchandise.

All his work is done in Procreate on a 12.9" iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil. This recording features the development of a greeting card image.

I think this is the way we should communicate, when presented with the question on how to get on Mastodon:

Copy paste from the link:

How do I use Mastodon?

• Download the Mastodon app from the Apple app store or Play store.

• Create an account (just like Twitter or any other social media)

• Follow people, and get posting.

Why do tech journalists say it’s too confusing to catch on?

I have no fucking idea.

Please share widely

PieFed uses PDQ hashing to generate a fingerprint of an image and can use that fingerprint to detect other posts that use the same or fairly similar images, for moderation purposes. Hashes are added to a block list which stops the image from being re-posted in future. Demo

PieFed does not generate PDQ hashes itself - it uses a separate service to do it. Several different instances could be using the same hashing service which will be more efficient than everyone running their own. When an image is being federated around the URL of it will be sent to the hashing service by multiple different fedi instances and only the first will be slow as all the subsequent requests will be served from a cache.

Get the code from https://github.com/rimu/pdqhash-python

By doing a GET request for https://yourdomain.tld/pdq-hash?image_url=url_to_image_to_hash you will receive JSON like this:

{
"pdq_hash_binary": "100100100011...",
"quality": 100
}

The quality score (0–100) indicates how well the image content supports a reliable perceptual hash.

Higher scores mean better contrast, edges, and texture in the image. PieFed accepts anything > 70.

Discourse now supports ActivityPub as a method of accessing posts, and we’re testing this out with the General > News category and our announcements. You’ll be able to find out about Mastodon posts and even reply to posts from Mastodon and they’ll show up here!

Hint: If you have a Mastodon account, link it to your forum account at https://discuss.privacyguides.net/my/preferences/activity-pub. That way if you reply or like a post on Mastodon, it will perform the reply/like here with your forum account :wink:

See https://discuss.privacyguides.net/ap/about for details.

I'm going to try it with Mastodon later today. I'm not sure what the support with Lemmy will be like, but clicking on this link seems to at least load the community name / icon: [email protected]
