Good morning Fedi friends!

  • Good morning Fedi friends!

    Sorry I've been a little quiet around here but I just completed a labor intensive personal project: selecting the best of the year's photos, color-correcting them, laying them out, and ordering photo albums (my traditional Christmas present to family).

    I typically have between 600 and 900 photos per month (1000+ in the summer), in between my smartphone and 3 professional cameras. It's a HUGE undertaking each year.

    Nobody in my family prints out photos anymore, I feel like it's my responsibility to be the curator of family memories.

    Parents and extended family members keep their photos on smartphones only, some locked inside messaging apps and not even downloaded to their photo albums.

    Meanwhile, I spend two weeks a year curating photos and creating albums.

    I love going through them with my little one and with family and friends.

    The number one reason why I love photography so much is that a photo can freeze a moment in time and make it everlasting. Flipping through the pages of my photo albums is like going back in time... which is really bittersweet but also magical.

    Maybe one day I'll write about my photo organization system... how to free oneself from the clutches of Big Tech platforms and reclaim power over photos and videos. (I say this because I have several friends and family members who won't quit Big Tech apps because they hold their photos).

    YunoHost writeup first. And then maybe photo / video management tutorial in January.

    Wishing you all a great day!

    @stefano the BBC of all institutions seems to be heavily written by CBS (USA 'partner') and/or AI. Odd terms, out of context terms/words and other weirdness in many articles.

    "Question. For many years, you’ve been trying to get U.S. technology companies to process the data of European citizens according to EU standards. Is that possible with Trump in the White House?Answer. A legal system has to be stable precisely in situations where you have a crazy president. If everyone were nice and friendly, we wouldn’t need laws. A big issue is how much the whole data economy has become part of this trade war. One of the only things that Europe can retaliate [against] is going to be the digital industry. It’s one of the things where [Americans] make shitloads of money. It’s the financial industry, digital industry… and that’s about it.The [EU] Commission just fined Meta and Apple… and the former responded with a very Trumpian press release, saying, “Oh, this is a tariff.” You broke the law and you knew you were doing it, so now you can’t just say it’s a tariff. It’s like someone driving their Porsche at 180 miles an hour and, when they get fined, they say, “Oh, you just hate rich people.”Q. Is the European Commission right to fine two tech giants in the middle of a tariff war?A. The EC is taking things slowly, because it doesn’t want to be the first to throw a stone. But at some point, you have to enforce your law. We must address the issue of technological dependence. In the U.S., there’s even been talk of American companies not offering their services in Greenland and Denmark. It’s crazy, because then no one would trust those companies again… but we also thought no one would ever start a trade war."https://english.elpais.com/technology/2025-09-13/max-schrems-jurist-the-promise-of-the-cloud-was-that-everything-would-be-much-cheaper-but-it-turns-out-that-it-functions-as-a-monopoly.html#EU #GDPR #Privacy #DataProtection #Cloud #CloudComputing #BigTech #DigitalSovereignty #USA
