It might be obvious and old news, but on my rare logins to #Instagram I saw a new message of their privacy policy to be updated this month: Every content from every post will be used to train their AI.
If you are a visual artist of any kind and use the platform, #Meta will use your creation against you, literally. You either learn how to publish and own your data, or you’ll be stolen.
@clerton I tried #pixelfed but there’s no global federated feed like we have on mastodon. So you start with an empty feed which is boring if you want to attract your friends.
Je lis "Paresse pour tous" de Hadrien Klent. C'est un livre bien relaxant que j'ai choisi pour changer d'humeur et je ne m'attendais pas du tout à ça. Le #fediverse fait parti de la science fiction politique de cour terme. Bien évident, là où je l'ai lu. 😁
Have you regretted deleting your https://pixelfed.social account, only later to desire to restore your account/username?
We ask because we're preparing permanent account deletion federation activities, and have a unique opportunity to restore deleted usernames before we start processing/federating deleted accounts.
While refactoring Pixelfed Groups, I wrote a new media processing pipeline that supports libvips and more formats, as well as the logic that handles optimizations, it no longer strips exif data and preserves color profiles and HDR support
It also uploads to S3 and deletes the local copy during the request lifecycle!
