Anyone looking for a Fediverse project idea?
Here's an easy one... No, really.
Gallery site, think like DeviantArt, FurAffinity, ArtUntamed, etc. You don't even have to code from scratch, just design a new UI for Pixelfed to display artwork that same way. It might need a tweak or two, those gallery sites will after all happily show you artwork that's been posted on their landing page, mature content only visible if'n you're logged in.
Despite the similarities of the interfaces, each site is a custom piece of work, so imagine not needing a custom site and the challenges that brings. For viewers, imagine not needing an account at every art gallery site so you can see your favorite artist's content, nor would the artist's need an account at multiple sites, you can follow from whatever current account you have.
Is there any negative? Sure, I don't think a PixelFed based gallery site would support stories, videos or music well, but the Fediverse has projects for those too.

Uh oh, seems I've been sucked into an old school black-and-white cartoon. At least my fashion has been effected.

More video problems
Having Loops problems, it took a few weeks, maybe a month before I was able to upload that last video, and I thought the app was working.
Nope, yesterday's video is a no go, I get the title typed... And it crashes, doesn't even start uploading. Not sure if recording in the app would work better, it refused as I hadn't given it mike permission, something it never asked for.
That's one of the weirdest things, it never asked for any permissions, oddly it can upload videos even though it doesn't have permission to access them, but it can't record as it doesn't have mike access, how's that work? Also it apparently has no notification function, I tried to allow it, but got told nope, it doesn't do notifications, which seems a bit odd, I mean how do I know if someone commented or liked a video without opening the app?
I might need an update, not sure, nor do I have any idea how to do that as I'd side loaded this as soon as it was available, so dunno how that works.
EDIT
Forgot the notification thing
Sorry to hear that, are you on Android and loops.video?
I am working on a big Android update that will fix a few bugs, so let me know and I can ping you when its released.
@dansup AAAnd an update, plus feature requests
Today I tried recording a video, and that worked fine. so the problem is with uploading a video, but not with compression as the app quits/crashes when I go to fill in the description, so before compression.
Feature Requests
App permission setting, most apps ask permission for what they need the first time you launch it, Loops doesn't, so it'd be nice to see that become a thing.
Notifications, why doesn't the app do notifications? I'd like to get an alert when someone likes or comments on one of my videos
Allow recording of videos without requiring the record button to be held down, that's rather inconvenient for the type of videos I make
More Christmas music
And of course its not exactly traditional, because where's the fun in that?

This State Wants Drivers To Start Paying By The Mile As EV Popularity Climbs
Honestly I'm not against charge by mile, so long as it doesn't require installing a tracking device, here in Missouri we already have a mileage inspection for vehicles brought in from out of state, along with the mileage being verified every time the car is inspected. Frankly I think they should just eliminate gas taxes, and charge everyone based on mileage with the rate based on the weight of the vehicle.

This State Wants Drivers To Start Paying By The Mile As EV Popularity Climbs
EVs are heavier than traditional cars, so they cause more wear on the road, but road maintenance is usually funded via gas tax. Here's what one state is doing.Madeline Cuccio (SlashGear)

So, today didn't end the way I expected
And I'm still processing.
Was sitting in traffic when a car came flying up through the grass behind and to the right, flipping and throwing a part into the road. At first the first person there didn't think the driver was still in the car, so I threw on my safety vest, and got the biggest part out of the road before it causes another accident.
After realizing the driver was still in there, under the supervision of an ER nurse who'd stopped, we started working on getting her out so CPR could be done, but it was only the two of us and I can't lift much. We did get her from wedged between the front seats to the back seat face down before the cops got there, and i supported her so she didn't fall between the front and back seats, while they got her out so CPR could be performed. She did have a pulse when they got her in the ambulance, so she might survive.
I wound up taking a shower when I got home, because I'd been kneeling in vomit and even after taking off my clothes I could still smell it.
So that was how my day ended. Not sure how I feel right now, aside from sore as my upper back was already hurting, and my shoulders are now, but I already was going to chiro tomorrow, so no big deal. Besides, as I told the nurse, a little back pain is a small price to pay for saving a life.
Still, I'm kinda processing the whole thing as you can imagine.

That's way more dramatic than when I recently rescued an adolescent gallah that fell out of its nest. Sadly, it's wing was so damaged the wildlife rescue hospital had to put it down. I felt horrible.
If I had left the bird where it was, it would have died near the tree it knew with mama nearby, albeit after some suffering. My transporting it caused the bird plenty of trauma, but in the end it shortened its suffering. I kept thinking maybe I hadn't done it much of a service. But then I thought, if my efforts could save it, it would have enjoyed a longer life. Perhaps it was worth a hopeful effort.
Thank you for being the sort of person who stops and helps.

I dont think anybody is confused about right and wrong.
I dont think anybody fails to see how all the wrong shit like gambling products, predatory ads, corporate fraud, social media bans, control and abuse of children, political corruption go together in one pack.
you know? it's not a bombshell revelation to say "Mengle was a Nazi!" you know we know of course he was.
obviously fraudulent fake companies preying on addicts support evil. one of those "mm you dont say" things.
