Starting to divide emails into main two categories:

1. “Okay, I’ll sort that out”
2. “Sounds like a January problem to me”

For all arguments about staying on Twitter, I’d just quote what someone on here said earlier:

When a Nazi buys your bar and starts inviting over all the other Nazis, it’s a Nazi Bar. I wouldn’t go to a Nazi Bar.

That’s it.

Hello Fedifriends, I need your help!

I've created a bot - @openbenches - which posts every time a new bench is uploaded to our website.

But, to test it, I need people to upload photos!

So, if you're out for a walk this Sunday, please snap a geotagged photo of any memorial benches you find, and upload them to https://openbenches.org/

Thanks!

I've been using Mastodon as my main social media account for a few months now and it is still holding up as a far more pleasant experience than anywhere else. I am gradually pruning old tweets/follows and have deleted the app from my tablet - can't get rid of Twitter entirely though as I still need it for things like travel alerts.

Over on Twitter it’s like the Penguin is in charge of Gotham.

Story in the Times this morning saying the Online Safety Bill will include a ‘user preference filter’ option to turn off ‘legal but harmful’ content. Also that the content won’t be defined in a separate SI list. This doesn’t stop their phone privacy breaking attempts to destroy E2EE with client-side scanning. Amazingly the Times reports Labour are opposing even this ‘watering down’ of the bill.

This is one of my favorite pictures. It feels like it was taken yesterday… but it was taken in a Paris public garden nearly a hundred years ago. Everything feels modern: the composition, the casualness, the daring clothes, haircuts, and accessories.

The colors are original: this is an #autochrome, using the first process for color #photography invented by the Lumière brothers in 1903.

The women are unknown, but I can't help wondering how they fared a few years later in nazi-occupied Paris.
