More playing around with LightCraft and what it can do (so far..) the RAW handling has a workaround: convert to DNG then use the Auto button to remove dullness. Still a way to do but it's very promising. 📷 Driftwood #photography

A bleached driftwood piece lies on a vast, empty beach with smooth, wet sand stretching toward distant hills under a dramatic, partly cloudy sky. Two small figures stand far in the background near the horizon.

After spending 4 hopeful hours testing LightCraft, my conclusion is that the software still needs quite a bit of refining. Here is a sample of a spotty b&w conversion. 📷 Breakwater blocks #photography

This is fun. I really think that if Bluesky became more playful by sharing apps and letting you embed more things it would get a major boost.

Bluesky seems to have a technical hiccup right now so the content service switch in mu.social comes handy. The point is the resilience of the network: when one light goes off you switch on another one, and the the more lights we have, the better.

Forest in Arran. I am using this image for a test which I shall explain later once I get the permission from the software author. All I am saying right now is that it's a great idea.😜

Misty forest scene with two signs attached to a tree trunk: the top sign reads "VEDAT DE PESCA" (fishing prohibited), and the bottom sign reads "Àrea Recreativa Bassa d’Arres." The background shows dense fog obscuring distant trees and grassy terrain.

The trailer is a bit crap and doesn't do justice to the movie, but Colossus forecasts an intimate surveillance system that knows everything you do, learning machine control and evolution, feedback loops, dependency, dominance and eventual human annihilation if we don't submit. #filmsky

Statement released by Canadian @gandersocial.ca about its partnership with @eurosky.social. Gander is also introducing a 900 characters long posts which hopefully @mu.social will also adopt and a verification that won’t require uploading ID. Looking forward to see how the partnership develops.

Gander + Eurosky

We’re partnering with our pals at Eurosky* to work on better ways to find and share news online: with publishers and audiences smack dab in the centre.

We’ve been chatting with them for a while about how we might work together. With all the hubbub around Canada–EU cooperation, this felt like a good time to put the news out into the world.

And we’ve never been much for isolation.

Sovereignty means keeping our infrastructure, data, and community on firm footing at home. It also means we can show up on our own terms to learn from and build with friends in other trusted democracies.

*Eurosky is an independent European initiative building sovereign digital infrastructure and a thriving open social web. Like us, they’re built on the AT Protocol. Sound familiar?

Sovereignty isn’t solitude. It’s solidarity.

A bit of fun here. If you were amongst the first 800,000 that joined Bluesky, there is a Bluesky Elder Label you can enable when you subscribe to @skywatch.blue and select "Show Badge". I would make the badge shiny and add a bit of sparkle, but it's out of my hands.

Testing the transfer app data feature on mu.social. Did not complete but I'm impressed as this should be a default feature on Bluesky. Using third party apps for something so security sensitive is never a good idea and inbuilt is so much better. Kudos to the @eurosky.social team for the integration.

mu.social is brilliant app. I was having issues with bsky.app which seems to have gone down, so just switched content service to Eurosky and it's all back up and running.

Choose the content service that supplies profiles, posts, and most feeds. This kind of service is sometimes called an AppView. This setting applies to every account on this device.

Good Pyrenean homes were built to last. Made with local stone and wood, their external walls were covered in a corse layer of hydraulic plaster and fine finished with a thick layer of lime that would be painted over with ornamental details.

A narrow stone alleyway between traditional Pyrenean mountain village houses. On the left, a weathered pale-cream building with dark wooden shutters and a slate roof; on the right, a rough stone house with a steep slate roof. Forested mountain slopes rise in the background under an overcast sky, with a smaller stone-roofed building visible between the two foreground structures.

A weathered wooden barn built into a stone farmhouse, with a slate-roofed dormer housing a plank hayloft door above a rustic wooden double door at ground level. A worn burlap sack hangs from a beam under an open-sided wooden lean-to shelter on the left, with a rough stone wall and foliage visible nearby.

Watched The Sleeping Land by José Bautista, a portrait of Russian social fabric and encounters along the Trans Siberian route. Made in 2017, in a non judgemental style, it leaves one with the impression of a deeply broken society, ruled by afar, by a faceless state, omnipresent in everyone’s mind.

A solitary figure in a dark coat walks along a snow-lined road at dusk, carrying a bag. Bare trees and overhead trolleybus wires frame the scene, with curved street lamps rising on the left. The muted, hazy light gives the winter landscape a cold, quiet atmosphere.
