I know you all feel overwhelmed by climate change, the rise of fascism, Gaza, Sudan etc. but don't worry about all that stuff, Francis has just declared gender ideology "the worst danger of today"

@moth oh wait, I missed the part where you're tagging a self-identified racist antisemite. come meet me on the street if you're not a coward, nazi.

the Japanese folklore of "tsukumogami" proposes that objects may acquire sentience after a long time of use. some say they need to be 100 years old, while others claim it depends on the intensity and amount of human feeling deposited into them.

printers are vengeful tsukumogami. in this essay I will

hiii! I'm elilla the federated glamtifa influencer~ :sparkles_pink:

I'm:

- nearing my 40s now, a literal mom, and also something of a queer mom at my local scene;

- trans woman, Latina travesti, futa, sapphic, toppy, dommy, notoriously promiscuous but kinda calmed down these days;

- white-privileged Global South immigrant in Germany, loved by many, hated by authority, noncitizen untermädchen forever risking deportation but cannot resist the thrill of aktion;

- anarchist antifa vegan radical extremist detained, profiled and monitored by the German state, has a facial scar from literally fighting nazis, cops go "oh it's that one again" at this point;

- plantgirl organic hippie, into urban #wildGardening #naturGarten for nature restoration, insect support, and herbal medicine;

- ex-academic japanologist dialectologist, forever horny for linguistics;

- sociable, party girl, loves dance, crowds, noise, people, smalltalk, fashion, talking with strangers, being touched by strangers, will die if not touched often, and neurodiv, yes some neurodiv people are like this too;

- sadly, tech professional.

might be a bit obvious looking at the list above, but I'm plural. some of my plurality is religious, drawing from the Brazilian tradition of umbanda, only not like the white bleached type of umbanda.

I post about all these topics without any editing or chill. early on in transition I decided to focus on trans joy in my online presence, and when I ran a survey, many people said they follow me because the way I write makes them feel good about being queer.

I've been using Mastodon for a long time now, and hooked up with like 20+ trans/nb people I met thru this thing. I like this app a lot! my masto tutorial got popular this year:

"huh it's 5am*

@aral @crashglasshouses thanks for doing work to improve things!

I guess more people are into gemini than I thought! I love gemini, though my main struggle with the minimalist format is the lack of embedded images. I understand the rationale, but for things like gardening blogging, I feel like I really benefit from text and image side by side.

even after making this poll with the cool technologies I'm honestly leaning towards wordpress, specifically for the media handling... there's ghost but the homepage to ghost gives me nausea...

I think the ideal would be to leverage my existing setup. Photos are automatically synced from my cellphone to trans mom dot love via syncthing, where they get automatically imported into photoprism and automatically indexed. Photoprism machine classification of subjects/porn is hit-or-miss but it does give me a convenient UI to type in the image description and save it as metadata (I wish gallery apps on the phone did that!).

however, how do I pull these images with the description metadata into Wordpress or the like conveniently? :thounking: I wish Photoprism had like, a "publish" button or the like that simply made the direct link to the image publicly available, and Wordpress something that would pull exif description into alt text…

#photoprism #wordpress

hmm: it's much clunkier than I'd like, but if I go on Photoprism to "Edit/Files", I can get a "Filename" from the physical store. I could make that available to the web via symlinks, then use it for hotlinks on #Wordpress.

but images online these days are complicated (what isn't?), what's with srcset and everything. perhaps at the cost of some backing store duplication, I should just import my images into wordpress; thankfully, a mass import CLI tool is provided.

the one snag in my workflow is that, contrary to what I assumed, #photoprism does not write metadata back into the exif! there's a large thread about it on github but it's clearly the kind of thing that users care about but devs shy away from. the state of acessibility in open source is abysmal, there's basically no tools at any point (photo app, cellphone gallery apps, online gallery apps, blogging, #mastodon....) that will let me write image descriptions that stay with the image when the image is copied somewhere.

I would like to emphasize that the exif ImageDescription field has existed for 28 motherfucking years.

For now I think the least effort, albeit significant effort, would be to mouse-click the filepath of each photo I want and copy it into a list on Nextcloud, and that list is automatically wp media import'ed on cron.

I could conceive of writing a script to scrap the Photoprism database (inside goddamn Docker!) to find the $#!@# image description SQL column and paste it into Wordpress' image description SQL column and hope neither database schema changes next week, but at this point it sounds like a better deal to just manually copy-paste image descriptions everywhere images are exposed.

"fuck you visually impaired people"—FOSSbros

@crashglasshouses no, I want to set an image description at any point on e.g. my cellphone photo manager, or on Photoprism (online photo collection manager), and I want that description to be stored inside the photo file (the standard for that has existed for 28 years), and I want that description inside the photo to be automatically set as alt text on Wordpress or Mastodon etc. when I post it.

I feel like I'm living in one of those animes that avoid brand lawsuits, checking out what's up in teddit, yewtube, barinsta, nitter, nekogram...

people keep dissing on others for not taking digital safety measures but merely running a VPN (+firefox+adblock+linux) already banishes me from a large fraction of the Internet via Google recaptcha trapping me in infinite loops, Cloudflare verifications mysteriously hanging up etc. let alone if I turn off Javascript or use Tor.

people who harp on about "security culture" have a lot of victim-blaming energy tbvh
