Back after giving myself a month away from Fedi.
I'll attempt to curate my experience much more, starting with this account and instance.
I want comfy things in my life - I don't need to be adding stress and angst from my online interactions. We can do better. We should do better. Including myself.
My interests cover #tech, #photography, #biking, #motorsport, #fountainpen, and other things I will no doubt need to add here when I remember.
I touch computers in my spare time and self host things. Oh yeah so #selfhosting I guess.
In my other spare time I renovate my house and do #DIY stuff.
Oh and I (used to?) play music. #Guitar I still have and sometimes play, #Saxophone I used to have a couple of decades ago, I had 6 months of Drum lessons, and played Bass for our school band in Rockquest in the late 90's.
I have never done anything that cool since.
Oh I live in New Zealand, Aotearoa.

#AgeVerification: what's the harm?
In which I distill a lot of casual pub chats I've had with friends into a layperson's guide to the #OnlineSafetyAct. What it is, the problems it causes, and why you should definitely care.

deadsuperhero@social.wedistribute.orgJust an FYI: If you missed #FediCon, or just want to see the talks, they are being edited and uploaded to #PeerTube. There’s only three talks up so far, but I am helping @reiver to add more of them, and ensure that there are accurate captions and nice little thumbnails.
You can see a playlist of all #FediCon2025 talks, sorted in order, here: https://spectra.video/w/p/52g7HzMoUCxEm9nU339mPf

Adults in Britain can no longer type 5318008 into their calculator unless they send a copy of their ID to Casio to verify their age.

If I know a company that's violating an open source license (GPL, for example, or even BSD, where you just have to mention the library), who/where should I report to?

Thinking about just adding robots.txt rules to block Google from crawling my sites. The devil's bargain before was that your words get devoured by their "AI" but in exchange your website is still findable through the regular web search part. But if they're going to force AI this hard over regular search, then why bother? What is the advantage to me in Google crawling my site?

tychotithonus@infosec.exchangeThings platforms want you to do less of:
- untrackably copy a link to something
- save an image
- copy arbitrary text
- decide what to look at next
- return to where you were a minute ago
- find options you can change
- know how many search results there are / length of scroll
- decide what part of a video you want to see
- prioritize and deprioritize content based on your own preferences
- manage your own attention
Mobile apps make this agenda easier. Apps are for companies.
The web makes this agenda harder. The web is for people.

elaterite@mastoart.socialA couple of Grand Entrance shots from Friday's Rocky Boy's Agency Powwow in Montana. This powwow is gigantic compared to the ones I'm accustom to in Nevada! Saturday is the big competition day!
