Experimenting with BYOD (bring your own domain) in Loops, to allow users to use their domain as a username and easily migrate to their own server.

so am I understanding you correctly that BYOD would allow me to use my own domain on a loops.video account, or a pixelfed.social account?

This would be amazing if I ever decide to let her migrate to my own server!!

Another interesting Pixelfed R&D program is our vision reality or VR which is building filters for the Pixelfed and Loops cameras, applying Snapchat like filters in real time, using face tracking and everything

It's really cool, and I'm working out a plan to share these in ActivityPub so you can have a library of AR filters.

There are so many aspects of a platform like Loops and Pixelfed like this you may not be aware of, so it may look like I'm not working, but I really am, on stuff like this
Michael Bishop ☕ mastodon (AP)
I would advise against filters. I will leave Pixelfed and Loops if they are added.
dansup mastodon (AP)
@MichaelBishop You can already upload videos of AR filtered content to mastodon, pixelfed and other platforms, what is the diff?
Michael Bishop ☕ mastodon (AP)
True but having filters built in only makes filter manipulated content more common.
dansup mastodon (AP)
@MichaelBishop every camera already has these though, even the stock android and iOS cameras allow you to adjust them. Should we ban ICC profiles too?
taye mastodon (AP)
Federated libraries of filters would be 🔥

I've done some work on AR filters for the Web and I'm gonna release a demo in a couple of months. I'll keep you posted 😁

Damit, daß die gesamte deutsche Presse die politischen Aussagen eines Multi-Milliardärs für berichtenswert hält, erkennt sie das Offensichtliche an: Reichtum bedeutet politische Macht.

Was nicht passiert: diskutieren, daß dieser Zustand inhärent undemokratisch ist, nicht erst bei Parteispenden anfängt, beim Besitz und der direkten Beeinflussung journalistischer Medien noch lange nicht aufhört, und ein Problem darstellt.

Ukraine’s weapons #industry presses #government to allow #arms exports


source: https://www.politico.eu/article/ukraine-arms-industry-export-weapons/
“Imagine what it would look like? #Ukraine #exports its #weapons during the war while asking partners for #military #aid. Ukrainians would not understand, partners would not understand,” said a senior Ukrainian foreign ministry

Ukraine is currently one of the best places to test modern #warfare #equipment against a confirmed #enemy under real conditions at low cost. Just imagine if the war were to end, an entire #business model would collapse. Surely nobody could want that to happen when the arms industry is doing so well.

Remember when Israel and their apologist were claiming that Israel would never attack hospitals and they were only attacking Hamas fighters who cowardly hiding there.

Now that they have killed all the reporters cut the internet access and media have moved on, they kill ANYONE who walks or crawls around.

I'm also working on an atom feed for profiles, and embeds!

Exciting times for the fediverse and the upcoming TikTok ban, Loops could be perfectly positioned, but it will need your help.

In Deutschland können sich Unfallmuster im Verkehr an immer gleicher Stelle wiederholen, ohne das daraus Maßnahmen zur Verbesserung abgeleitet werden müssten und so kommt es hier vor, dass immer wieder gleiche Weise Menschen schwer verletzt werden. Teils auch getötet, ohne das gehandelt wird. Kaum vorstellbar in den Niederlanden.

Letztendlich ist alles, dass wir vorhersehen können, auch durch uns verhinderbar. Die allermeisten Muster des menschlichen Versagens kennen wir. Ebenso deren Ursachen und wie Infrastruktur sie beeinflusst und wie wir Infrastruktur entsprechend gestalten bzw anpassen können.
Nur allein wir tun es nicht und haben uns bzw. unseren Behörden Strukturen gegeben, die Untätigkeit fördern und Maßnahmen für Sicherheit bis zur Unmöglichkeit erschweren.

First contact has been going well. It’s their turn to ask questions. The biped’s face moves and my translator squawks, “Are you <unintelligible>-based life forms too?”

The human and translator converse for a bit. “Element 6,” the translator clarifies.

I laugh, startling the human. “Do you name all the elements? Adorable! Next you’ll be telling me you name the stars.”

The human shifts uncomfortably.

Construction of the new 34m antenna DSS-23 at NASA's Deep Space Network (DSN) site at Goldstone, CA, is progressing well. On Dec 18, the 34-meter-wide 133-ton steel framework for the Deep Space Station 23 (DSS-23) reflector dish was installed on a 20-meter-high alidade – a platform above the antenna's pedestal that will steer the reflector during operations.

The new antenna is expected to be operational in 2026.

DSS-23 will be the 5th of 6 new beam-waveguide (BWG) antennas to join the network, following the addition of DSS-53 in Madrid in 2022.

In a BWG antenna, radio waves collected by the primary dish are reflected by the secondary dish and Radio Freq mirrors through the waveguide structure to the base of the antenna. This design allows sensitive electronics to be placed in a climate-controlled equipment room instead of outdoors hanging in front of the antenna dish.

Drawing of a beam waveguide antenna, a type of parabolic antenna used in large radio telescopes and satellite ground stations. In the beam waveguide antenna, the incoming radio waves collected by the large primary reflector dish are reflected by secondary reflectors in a long path through the structure (red) to the base of the antenna, where they are received by a small feed antenna in a "feed house" at ground level. This design is an alternative to the common design used in small dish antennas called "front feed", in which the feed antenna itself is suspended in front of the dish. Beam waveguide antennas are used in high gain antennas for use in space communication, where the feed electronics is too bulky and delicate to be mounted on the boom in front of the antenna, or must be serviced often, as with low-noise cryogenic amplifiers which require frequent filling with liquid nitrogen.

Here is a fascinating time-lapse video of the full construction, assembly and installation of NASA’s Deep Space Station 53 (DSS-53) at the Deep Space Network’s Madrid complex in Spain.

The video covers the period from November 2018 to March 2020. The antenna became fully operational in late February 2022.
