Remember when the Fediverse was built on CWs and alt text? I see both slipping again lately. I just feel like everyone needs a reminder now and then that both are appreciated. They were a lot of the reason many people said they were so much happier and felt such a lift when they came over from Twitter. Now it's getting to be harder and harder to tell the difference.

More Trump layoffs hit Minnesota.

And the mngop DOES NOT CARE!!! https://www.mprnews.org/story/2025/04/01/minnesota-department-of-health-announces-layoffs

Trump's administration admitted f*ed up by deporting a legally protected immigrant that fled El Salvador gang violence to an El Salvador gang prison after arresting him in front of his 5 year old autistic son for no crimes.

Not my art, but I promise to share it

Guys, the famous 31-year old temperate food forest / forest garden at Dartington in Devon, UK is under threat. 😬 Please see the link for details and consider signing the petition to save it.

Saddling small sites with the same duties as huge platforms means many will shut down in a hammer blow to net plurality.

We'll be left with the Sophie’s choice of monopoly services; the incubators of online harms.

URGENT: The UK government must change the Online Safety Act to protect safe, non-commercial blogs, forums and fediverse.

I do not give a damn which mental health diagnoses people want to stick onto fascists to "explain" their behaviour. None of it is useful. The problems we are dealing with are NOT created by neurotypes/intellectual or cognitive disability/trauma.

They are created by power. That's it.

Literally anyone—you, me, or the most innocent person you can recall—with power can (and often will) become evil to keep it. It really is that mundane.

Want to stop it?
Fight inequality. Divest your own power.

Fine, a belated #introduction. Still searching for my people here. Encountering too many memes. I like levity in my timeline, but seldom like that. Where are the shitposters? The wise-crackers? The dry wits?

Interested in #film / #movies, #books (working on a project to get everything on my shelves read), #blogging, #vlogging, #birding, and #walking (boring).

Raised in #Iowa, live in #Chicago. Would love to find other folks here, but also interested in those in far-flung locales.

Hi #histodons,
I need your expertise. We want to integrate an #opensource #ocr tool into our #useGalaxy Platform so you can better analyse your texts, etc.
I worked with #tesseract some years ago, and I heard about #ocr4all.
Do you have experience with any of these - or other recommendations?
We are also integrating #tranksribus via API but want another ocr-specific option.
Looking forward to your experiences!
