Just signed up to @ente photos, migrating everything from #Google #photos. Google unnecessarily jumbles up its data export into 2GB zip files :eyebags:, so it's a nightmare to put together manually for the #ente upload. I wrote this very simple bash script to do it automatically - maybe useful […]

As many people here I'm looking to switch from Gmail, github, etc to more reliable non-US tech/services. I like https://european-alternatives.eu/, but EU countries/companies are not necessarily stable either. So, is there a list that ranks services by *resilience*, like to: govt change […]

It's sad that Donald Shoup has passed away. His work was a big reason that made me aware of the crucial role of parking in car-centricity, and get me interested in transport justice. He was also super friendly.

In the past weeks we had a bit more signups than usual at https://datasci.social -now at 128 active monthly users- Welcome! 🖖 Also, our community docs needed a small update concerning why we sometimes have to decline new users: https://community.datasci.social/docs/moderation/#sign-up #mastoadmin

Many European universities show leadership by having left X. This doesn't seem to be the case with Danish universities (including mine), who are still fine associating themselves with the platform's right-wing and anti-science extremism 🤷

The Danes use psychometric tests to test the fitness of mothers, and take them away if they don’t pass. A Greenlandic mother had her baby taken away after two hours. WTF https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/nov/25/danish-parenting-tests-baby-removed-from-greenlandic-mother #Denmark […]

There is increasing polarization *on* social media. But is there also more polarization *of* social media? This looks like the current political spectrum to me:
