I've spent the morning fawning over the paintings of Emily Shanks and Winslow Homer, the latter, whose collection mostly revolves around "little boats in way too much weather", has also created this one, which I think is my favourite work of his.

omg, it only took me a month and a half with 50 or so failures wipes restores wipes and finally a fresh install after losing 3 database backups and imports, lost a few days of posts over all, but I finally got my #friendica instance upgraded to Friendica 'Blutwurz' 2026.04-dev - 1589 with php 8.5.2, and so far it appears to actually be working this time, i love friendica, I just wish the @Friendica Admins @Friendica Developers @Friendica Support had made it a bit more flexible every little change breaks everything, and it becomes a nearly never ending chase to customize and keep current, anyways for now I think my quite little instance is upgraded and running;

Another hidden delight not far from Healesville. A cafe using an old railway car for seating. It's located just off a track for hikers, bicyclists, and horseback riders. The nature reserve surrounding it is gorgeous. The food is yummy!

An Open Letter to Google Regarding Mandatory Developer Registration for Android App Distribution


We, the undersigned organizations representing civil society, nonprofit institutions, and technology companies, write to express our strong opposition to Googleโ€™s announced policy requiring all Android app developers to register centrally with Google themselves in order to distribute applications outside of the Google Play Store, set to take effect worldwide in the coming months.

While we do recognize the importance of platform security and user safety, the Android platform already includes multiple security mechanisms that do not require central registration. Forcibly injecting an alien security model that runs counter to Androidโ€™s historic open nature threatens innovation, competition, privacy, and user freedom. We urge Google to withdraw this policy and work with the open-source and security communities on less restrictive alternatives.

Our Concerns...






Some folks at #FOSDEM tried to buy the makeshift hats one of our team members brought, so I arranged for this prototype of an official hat to be made. It's a fisherman beanie with our logo embroidered. I'm trying to gauge interest here. Is this something you'd buy? (Poll in follow-up post)

Please count me in, I'm interrested in having one of these.
Price?
Thanks!

I'm sorry to say it, but I am very skeptical of the Artist Corporation model that @Metalabel is trying to advance in Colorado. blog.metalabel.com/the-beginniโ€ฆ

I'll explain, as I did to Yancey.

in reply to Nathan Schneider

First, in Colorado we are already working on a similar hybrid model: the social cooperative. It is a global movement that we want to join. This effort is being led by groups with deep community investment. rmeoc.org/programs/social-coopโ€ฆ
in reply to Nathan Schneider

Second, it perpetuates what I think of as the original sin of US co-op policy: creating tools for specific sectors/industries/stakeholders rather than generalized tools.

This is why you can finance rural electric co-ops but not urban ones, for instance. It's dumb.

in reply to Nathan Schneider

I hope that we can build policy strategies that don't treat artists as special snowflakes (eg art.coop's work, or smart.coop) and that seeks to build on artist experience for a broader solidarity economy.

When that is the goal, I'm here to help.

in reply to Nathan Schneider

Hey Nathan, I really appreciate your critiques here. Cosmos.coop could use your guidanceโ€”we are actively building a creator-and-audience platform that centers on community self-determination & co-creation. We're all about the mass culture-shifting (indeed, world-shifting) power embodied in visionary art, conscious community stewardship practices, deep discourse, and distributed, diversified solidarity practices. As you know we're a CO-based L.C.A. I'd love to hear more of your thoughts about the state of the sector, and what kinds of strategies and key partners you'd recommend for us.
in reply to Caroline Savery

Well that's a longer conversation, and always happy to connect with you!
in reply to Nathan Schneider

I was wondering if you two had connected, I share your concerns. It feels like A Corps only make sense if you ignore coops. Which a lot of people in the US do, but clearly that's a choice and not just garden variety ignorance on his part if he asked you for advice

If you don't just wanna switch from one dependence to another, try to use the tools at hand and your brain to make an informed decision for your independent digital future.

But if you to lazy and naive, just believe what Nextcloud proclaim and go with that into your next dependency.

Today, the final negotiations on Chat Control 2.0 begin.

We hope the European Parliament stands firm against any wording that paves the way for mass surveillance and censorship. Cyprus, currently holding the Presidency of the Council of the EU, aims to conclude the negotiations by June.
