Ever wondered how much data profiling commercial photo managers can pull from your photos to power targeted ads and train their AI models? I have. That’s why I stopped trusting my memories to Google and Apple and went looking for a truly private self hosted alternative with the right mix of convenience and security. Check out some of the best options out there and tell us your favorite! https://alternativeto.net/news/2025/11/finding-a-private-self-hosted-google-photos-alternative-that-doesn-t-profit-from-my-photos/

Sometimes I think it’s going to be the librarians who will save us all.

A large (maybe 3 feet wide by 5 feet tall) sign on the end of a row of bookshelves that tells the “address” of books that have sensitive content.

Cuatro imágenes: una se ven muchos árboles azotados por un huracán, en la segunda muchos árboles inundados por un tsunami, en otra por un terremoto. En la cuarta solo hay troncos de arboles cortados, afectados por el neoliberalismo. Ilustraciones en color

I thought it was a shadow too ...

Two cats laying on concrete in almost identical positions. A white cat in front and a black cat behind, partially obscured. The impression is of a shadow, except the black cat's tail is extended, the white cat's is not.

From Dani Davalos on Pinterest https://pin.it/2X8aZPUzw , the most beautiful thing I have seen so far today.

A cartoon version of Hokusai's "The Great Wave off Kanagawa". The wave has googly eyes to look like the Muppet Cookie Monster, and chocolate chip cookies are scattered across the water.

Congratulations to Gints Zilbalodis and the entire Flow film crew for the Academy Award win!

Flow is the manifestation of Blender’s mission, where a small independent team is able to create a story that moves audiences worldwide.

Thank you for the shout out! 🧡 #b3d

@danddv77 Si definitivamente no lo recomendaría ... o a menos que sea un adulto responsable, pues yo no lo soy 😅
Quien es el segundo, tu?

Un efecto zigzageante particular.

#SilentSunday #nature #naturephotography #naturaleza #fotografia

la imagen muestra una geometria natural particular: las líneas inclinadas del techo azul contrastan con la inclinación del verde de la montaña, generando un efecto de zigzag; mientras que el cielo y sus nubes enmarcan la escena bajo un equilibrio asimétrico.

El mundo que los hombres hacen, donde se afanan,
Sudan, paren, cohabitan.

El cuerpo de los hombres prensado por los días,
Su noche de ronquido y de zarpazo
Y las encrucijadas en que se reconocen.

Hay ceguera y el hambre los alumbra
Y la necesidad, más dura que metales.

Una densa niebla envuelve un paisaje brumoso. Dos árboles de tronco grueso y ramas desnudas dominan la parte izquierda de la imagen, sus texturas rugosas apenas visibles a través de la neblina. En el fondo, se vislumbran otros árboles y arbustos, difuminados por la espesa niebla. El suelo parece ser una ladera cubierta de hierba baja y seca. La atmósfera es misteriosa y evoca una sensación de calma y soledad.

This is it and you know it.

Don't be fooled by the charm of billionaires.

A bold black-and-white sticker affixed to a metal surface in an urban setting reads: "THE ONLY DANGEROUS MINORITY IS THE RICH." The sticker is slightly peeling at the edges, and the background features a textured blue brick wall alongside graffiti and layered street art elements, creating a raw, rebellious aesthetic.

En este episodio de #elhilopodcast , Juan Carlos Lara, de la organización de Derechos Digitales, nos cuenta sobre Chile y su policía predictiva. Patricia Díaz, de Datysoc, explica cómo Uruguay creó un ecosistema de vigilancia al que ahora se le sumó un sistema de inteligencia artificial. Juan Diego Castañeda, de la Fundación Karisma, de Colombia, habla sobre el uso de IA para perseguir a manifestantes durante las protestas de 2021.

En el centro de la imagen y a foco se ve una video cámara de vigilancia. De fondo cubriendo todo el resto de la imagen, casas de una fabela fuera de foco.

Una ladera de montaña cubierta parcialmente de nieve se eleva contra un cielo azul intenso y despejado. La nieve se asienta principalmente en la parte superior de la ladera, dejando expuestas las rocas oscuras y escarpadas de abajo. La escena transmite una sensación de amplitud y serenidad.

You can see strange things in the far north... like three suns! This photo was taken by Felipe Menzella in northern Sweden. The central bright spot is the sun, while the other two are 'parhelia' - also called 'sun dogs'.

A parhelion is a halo caused by the refraction of sunlight by ice crystals in the atmosphere. They show up around 22° to the left and right of the sun.

If you're a physicist, you'll instantly wonder: why to the left and right, but not top or bottom? In fact you can see light all around the Sun at a 22° angle, but it's much brighter to the left and right. Why?

The air here is full of ice crystals of a special kind: flat, thin hexagonal prisms of ice. As these crystals gently float down, they bend the light rays passing through them. And since they mainly lie flat, with their large hexagonal faces almost horizontal, the sunlight is refracted horizontally. Thus, the parhelia are seen mainly to the left and right of the sun!

But some of these ice crystals wobble as they fall, so we get a bit of light all around the sun.

This was NASA's astronomy picture of the day:

and for more pictures of parhelia, read this:

Parhelia are just one of many related strange phenomena. You can see a bunch of them in my next post.

$Three suns seem to hug the horizon in this otherworldly winterscape. But the evocative scene was captured during a February 3rd snowmobile exploration of the mountainous region around Abisko National Park, northern Sweden, planet Earth. The two bright spots on either side of Earth's Sun are parhelia (singular parhelion), also known as mock suns or sun dogs. The parhelia are caused by hexagonal ice crystals suspended in the hazy atmosphere that reflect and refract sunlight. Commonly seen in winter and at high latitudes, the bright parhelia lie along the visible 22 degree ice halo of the Sun.

Let's play a game.

Don't say PowerPoint presentation, say slidedeck
Don't say Word, say text document
Don't say Photoshop, say image editing
Don't say Excel, say spreadsheet
Don't say...

Language is important. When corporate companies own the names of the tasks or the digital items you create, you have become a cog in their branding machine.
