Is it just me or is anyone out there with an #iPhone 12 Pro having issues with the camera app after upgrading to #iOS 26? Every time I try to open the camera just a black screen opens, no matter how long I wait it just gets stuck there and I have to do a hard reset to get it to work again.

*UPDATE* after trying everything in the book, and nothing working, I took it to a professional and they confirmed my worst fear - motherboard short - they could try and solder but they also looked at the drive and it’s also fried.

The silver lining is that some Republicans are also concerned with this funding cut. So there is some hope that the Senate will veto the bill, but I would absolutely reach out to your Senators to make sure your voice is heard.

It's worrisome when the government starts eyeing cutting sources of information in the name of financial responsibility. They really need to do better, or better yet - we need to vote better.

I’m seriously alarmed by Trump’s push to cut funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which puts NPR and PBS in real danger. Public broadcasting isn’t just nice to have; it’s a necessity for reliable news, education, and emergency information. Losing this vital resource would be a huge blow to our communities and democracy.

I’m following the Israel-Iran conflict closely, and based on the latest expert projections, WWIII isn’t likely. Russia is tied up in Ukraine and won’t step in for Iran. The ceasefire is fragile but holding, and US-brokered talks are coming up. There’s still a risk of escalation, but a global war doesn’t seem to be on the horizon.

A close friend of mine of over a decade just passed away due to bone cancer. I'm so lost for words...no I'm just lost. I'm finding solace that he passed quickly, he had been fighting for 4 years. He was big on everything, a shining light, wore his emotions on his sleeves for better or worse, but I loved him that way, I'm the same way. I'm done rambling...oh one more thing...

Just finished watching “Killing them Softly” a mob film starring Brad Pitt, Ray Liotta, James Gandolfini, and Richard Jenkins. It’s an interesting film in that it utilizes the U.S. 2008 presidential race quotes to underline the economic difficulties of the country in addition to the film’s story line.

:quotesL: My friend, Jefferson's an American saint because he wrote the words, "All men are created equal." Words he clearly didn't believe, since he allowed his own children to live in slavery. He was a rich wine snob who was sick of paying taxes to the Brits. So yeah, he wrote some lovely words and aroused the rabble, and they went out and died for those words, while he sat back and drank his wine and fucked his slave girl. This guy wants to tell me we're living in a community. (3/4)

They had all these people fired up and camping out to protest the unfair system that allows the richest 1% to get richer while the rest struggle.

The core message that there are flaws in capitalism that let Wall Street billionaires gamble with regular people's retirement savings without consequences - that was an important point they were trying to make.

You know, the rise of Trumpism is certainly a failure, but not necessarily a failure of activism. It's more of a failure of the government, or at the very least, it should be called a reaction to the government's failure to balance the attention given to the coasts and the middle of the country.

When you listen closely to the rhetoric used by Trumpism, it's clear that the government failed to support the producers of the country – the hardworking folks in the heartland. That's why you see so many anti-immigrant, xenophobic, nativist, and racist attacks against minority groups from this movement. Other aspects of Trumpism include isolationist, protectionist, anti-feminist, and anti-LGBTQI sentiments. (2/4)

If we want to actually move forward, we have to ditch the lazy "everyone's stupid" mentality. We need to critically examine the substantive challenges with an open mind. Only then can we start finding ways to overcome the roadblocks and create real, lasting improvements.
Does this make sense? Calling people stupid is just an intellectual dead-end. We have to dig deeper with nuance and respect for the work people are doing. (5/5)

That's an insult to all the folks who put in long hours, brain power, and passion to try to create positive change.

The truth is, meaningful progress is really hard. There are so many complex factors and obstacles in the way.

By just writing it off as people being stupid, you minimize all the actual hard work and effort that went into trying to make things better. It's like saying any progress that did happen was just pure dumb luck rather than the result of people's dedicated labor. (2/5)

I can't subscribe to that cynical view, as it breeds a destructive and hopeless mindset.
Firstly, if most people truly lack understanding, then it represents a failure on our part to effectively educate and communicate.

1. Approach differing perspectives with empathy, seeking to understand their motivations and concerns.

Secondly, that line of thinking leads to alienating and demonizing anyone who doesn't share my exact viewpoint as "stupid" or the enemy.

I took a vacation to unplug from social media. When I returned, I learned that Trump had been convicted in New York of falsifying business records. There was a plethora of hot takes across the board about this.
His team is appealing, which starts a long legal process. However, for all intents and purposes, it appears Trump will be a convicted felon by November.

It should not be this way, but politicians use this issue as a bargaining chip.

Serious question since #Threads is potentially looking into this: if they integrated into AP the ability to run ads on servers as a way to generate money to maintain said server, would you enable them? And based on your experience with other admins, do you think they would?
Background: Meta is thinking of ways to monetize the Fediverse by supporting servers running ads and supporting micro-transactions (this is speculation as of now, re: what’s Meta’s interest in the Fediverse?)
