The Creature met an ancestor! 🦣 🦴 🏛️

Photo of Lety and the Creature Mastodon stuffed toy standing in front of a mastodon museum exhibit under warm, indoor lighting. From top to bottom, Lety is shown wearing a short, white, long-sleeve dress with red floral print and brown sandals. Her body is roughly facing the camera, the Creature in her arms, as she turns her and the Creature back towards her left to look up at the massive fossilized skeleton of an American mastodon. On the floor between Lety and the skeleton is an exhibit sign reading “American mastodon”, “(Mammut americanum)”, “2 million to 10,000 years ago”, with a map showing the species' historical range across North America and some other out-of-focus text. In the background are several other museum visitors viewing smaller fossil displays in glass cases along a back wall.

Hey #believeinfilm friends,

Leica has had a rough weekend on Threads after an attempt to romanticize their gear more than the community could handle.

It's pretty wild, and the story is still developing.

I wrote about it here: analog.cafe/comments/m8yj

#filmphotography #photography #leica


Commodity fetishism lands Leica in hot water on Threads.

The brand drew fire to its social media account of over 96 thousand followers today with a post that romanticized ownership of their gear more than their followers were willing to take: #editorial.

#SilentSunday
Photo with mauve-blue harebells in the left foreground on a grassy hillside. The land slopes down ahead and to the right before rising up to a rounded hilltop, the site of an Iron Age hillfort. The hill is flanked on the right by a dense woodland. Just showing on the far right is a strip of very flat arable fields, light brown in colour, and a band of pale grey-blue sea above that. The sky is a hazy paler grey-blue.

Good to see a new update and moves to more community editions. I always wished that Pine actually charged about $40 more per PinePhone/Pro/Note, but just put that extra money towards paying for software support for the most important things the community wasn't likely to pick up. The PPP could have been a huge success with some strategic development support. I still would love to see a decent midrange phone style device with mainline support for all the main hardware and power management.

I am also surprised by the definition of Dig Sovereignty: "Digital Sovereignty refers to a country's ability to control and govern its own digital infrastructure and data.". If you live in an authoritarian regime (and as we see any democracy can eventually become one), the country can very well control the digital infrastructure, but for the institutions and people within the country it is the opposite of sovereignty. This is a much better definition: cio.bund.de/Webs/CIO/DE/digita…

This monarch, a skipper, & some bumblebees were enjoying the zinnias Thursday. Seen monarchs around the garden nearly every day now. They seem to especially like the zinnias, the most abundant large flower in the garden right now.

#StormHour #butterflies #insects #nature #Photography #AltText

Photograph of a monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) standing atop a pink zinnia flower with out of focus flowers and green foliage in the foreground and in the background. The monarch is facing left in profile leaving only its left side visible and it has its proboscis inserted into one of the flower's orange-yellow florets. Monarch butterflies have orange wings with black and white patterned edges and black veining, black bodies and heads covered with white polka dots and fine black hairs, large black compound eyes, two long black antennae, and six black segmented legs.

There is a new short domain name for #PuTTY!

putty.software/

At present, this is just a "landing page": a nice short name to remember, which will redirect you to the full PuTTY website at the same longer URL where it's always been.

But unlike putty.org or other third-party landing pages, this one is run by us, the actual PuTTY team, and it doesn't have a weird separate agenda of its own.

I intend to move the main PuTTY site over to that domain in the future, and leave just a redirector at the old location. But first I want to get the word out, so that people know which site to trust.

If anyone is still linking to putty.org, here's a place to link to instead. Please spread the word!

I've often said that the city I live in is on the front lines of the battles against Trump, and this article kinda shows it from the legal battle side of things. There also isn't a week that goes by without protests, petition drives, and passive resistance against Trump going on.

The question front and center is how long can the city keep up the funding to manage this side of the fight. I often think that the entire Trump Administration is a long con that went on too long and the authority grab is in hopes of preventing them all from getting caught as they bankrupt America into offshore accounts.
