As of last Friday, end-to-end encryption for Instagram direct messages is no longer available. DMs that you send to people on Instagram will no longer feature full encryption, and your conversations are not protected from Meta.
Meta can potentially see what's in messages shared between users on Instagram, and that information can be shared with law enforcement agencies worldwide.

Help with #NativeVisibility #IndigenousVisibility is ultra-important. Follow us, boost us, patronise our businesses, buy our art, listen to our music, watch our movies and tv shows, and by ‘our’ I mean things actually produced by Native and Indigenous people. Abandon the stereotypes and white pandering voices, stop what I call Lakotaman’ing. We’re modern people!

WTF
The Trump administration is planning to evict 950 bison from their grazing pastures on federal lands in Montana.
An estimated 60 million bison once roamed the plains of North America before white settlers decimated the population. Bison were often hunted directly from trains after the construction of the American railroads in the 1800s.
The slaughter eventually reduced the population to just a few hundred in the 1880s.

No, we just took down a server to move to Patreon, which we felt was best for us. We've put up a lot of servers over the past few years & there were very few migrations, if any.
We wish the best & believe in Ghost & appreciate the issues, but at this time we're going to stay close to our Native relatives & spend as little time running servers as we can, so we can build community.
We have to prioritize community building over all else, which is very hard to do.

Fungi, if you look at the cell structure — how they are built up — it's very similar to the human cell. This is different from bacteria, because bacteria are much simpler. And viruses are even more simple because they don't even have a cell.
For fungi, because they're similar to human cells, it's quite difficult to find a drug which kills the fungus but does not harm the human cell. So in the past 75 years, we have developed only five classes of antifungals.

Native Americans have worked hard for decades to counter the stereotypes perpetuated in old movies and television shows about the American West. Now a new generation of Native technology experts worry that AI is eroding that work.

The Trump administration took down a congressionally mandated report on missing and murdered Native Americans from the Department of Justice’s website nearly 300 days ago to comply with an executive order against diversity, equity and inclusion.
It’s still not back online, and the senators who worked to pass the law are furious.

Ugh #Mastodon database use is up another $10...
I appreciate things like quote posts being added to v4.5 etc. but I really feel like developers should prioritize rewriting the 'Remote content retention period code' to a more useful state. As it is now, all you can do to save remote cache space is destructive and non-reversible.
The whole Fediverse is storing rarely if ever used remote content forever, thousands of servers... such a waste of money and disk space.

I think there are a lot of misconceptions on #Mastodon / #Fediverse about whether Bluesky is federated or not.
I used to hold misconceptions myself, but research and experience with #Bluesky / #ATprotocol / #Atmosphere has shown me the error of my ways.
It's a fact, Bluesky / ATprotocol / Atmosphere, IS federated. Bluesky is one node, a very big one presently, but still just like Mastodon.social isn't the whole Fediverse; Bluesky is NOT the whole of the ATprotocol/Atmosphere.

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.
While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.
With legal challenges to this law pending, we cannot justify building the expensive required infrastructure.

Led by the American Indian Center, Chicago’s oldest Native-led organization, Indigifest is rooted in the understanding that as the Indigenous people of this land, we carry the responsibility to guide the conversation on Turtle Island about what Indigeneity means, what it has endured, and where it is going. In a city built on Native land, where Indigenous presence is often overlooked, this festival is an unapologetic reminder that we are still here.

“It’s one of the most harmful things to happen to folks who live outside in decades. It is not going to help anybody,” said Jesse Rabinowitz, campaign and communications director at the National Homelessness Law Center.
“It sets the stage for rounding up folks who are homeless, folks with mental health issues, folks who are disabled – and instead of helping them, forcing them into detention camps and institutions. So it’s terrifying.”

"Aides said he talked about Ivanka Trump's breasts, her backside, and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that once led John Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter," Taylor writes.
"Afterward, Kelly retold that story to me in visible disgust. Trump, he said, was 'a very, very evil man.'"

White progressive/liberal influencers can be very critical of people criticizing the US system, including the Democratic Party. As any #BIPOC person knows (except highly assimilated) the US system totally sucks; it needs to be thrown out.
These influencers just can't see through their whiteness/colonialism. Even after all these years and a supposedly advanced perspective, they just don't get it.
The system may begin to crawl out of the hole, but always crawls back in.

Before colonialism, many Indigenous nations across Turtle Island had words, roles, and responsibilities for what we now often call Two-Spirit people—relatives who carried both feminine and masculine energies, or who lived beyond binary gender expectations altogether. They were visionaries, healers, mediators, storytellers, medicine people, and ceremonial leaders. They were sacred. They are sacred.

A Minnesota mayor says two state lawmakers were shot in their homes early Saturday.
Mayor Ryan Sabas of Champlin said state senator John Hoffman and state representative Melissa Hortman were shot, and that Hoffman’s wife was also shot.
A person familiar with the matter told The Associated Press that investigators believe that the suspect may have been posing as a law enforcement officer.
Gov. Tim Walz said the shooting was targeted.
