We went out again with the telescope and we saw Saturn, Jupiter, and parts of the Milky Way. Here are some photos - astonishing that they are made with a phone (Pixel 4A 4G).
Me and Sasha:
Edited a little bit the colors, light, and details. But not that much, a few minutes editing.
An "arm" of the Milky Way:
Improved a bit the colors and contrast. Not by much.
Our TROM telescope (no editing):

And the coolest of them all, Georgi with a head-lamp :)

No editing, straight out of the phone, believe it or not.
Am impressed. So fucking cool: great experience to enjoy the night sky with our own eyes and a telescope, and low effort great photos :).

WEBB first images revealing in like 10 minutes. Live NASA here www.youtube.com/embed/21X5lGlD… - sorry for the youtube link. Live streams seem not to work with Invidious. See some bits of reality folks, put your values in perspective. #tromlive

Oh this sounds very cool. Unfortunately I am too busy these days but as soon as I have some time I will test it. Do you plan @apps to support Friendica's features like long posts, inline media, and such? Also ping to @roko :) he would love this and he will test it a lot am sure :)

@edgren We made TROMjaro Linux (tromjaro.com) in a way that it comes with all you need to not see ads or not have your data mined. Plus no need to use any terminal, all apps are in 1 single place. I made it for my parents at first so that they can simply install and that's it. And then I made it public and we improved it a lot. Has a free VPN and some neat apps and such. Very easy to use. You can give it a try if you want :).

We even have privacy redirect addon and our own instances for invidious, nitter, bibliogram, reddit, searx.

@edgren Installing Software in TROMjaro is a lot easier than in Windows. There is 1 single software center and has access to, I'd say, 99% of all apps available in Linux. You search for it there, and click install and apply. Done. Has access to AUR, Manjaro's repos, and Flathub.

Star Stable, Roblox - I cannot find these I do not know what they are. But if they are games that are available for Linux too (maybe via Steam) then is very easy to install steam then have access to them all.

It is true the limitation of Linux is that not all apps available on Windows are available on Linux.

@iron_bug @aaron Trade-free is trade-free for the end user. For me it is trade free if I do not have to trade for that good or service. Like Wikipedia is for example. I do not have to give them anything in return for that service. Yes, wikipedia uses some servers and trades for them (money), but their service for others is trade free. Understand?

@iron_bug @aaron Not necessarily. Maybe in USA but in many parts of the world education is free. But that's besides the point. We are talking if something is like this or like that for you, the end user of course. Take a sugar-free chocolate. For me, the one eating the chocolate, it has no sugar. It is sugar free. But am sure in the process of making it they may have used sugar, or the people making it may eat sugary foods, and so forth. But would be ridiculous, just because of that, to call the end product not sugar-free.

I love that I can make blog posts on Friendica. Like proper ones with inline images, as many as I want, with formatting the text, add links to text, and so on. Even markdown works. Here's my latest post as a proof of that social.trom.tf/redir/71?url=di…

Why are people not using Friendica more? Baffled! Why would I use something that limits my words or the post formatting...!?

@heluecht and @hypolite deserve all of my respect for creating/maintaining Friendica. Many many thanks! #tromlive

‘Double standards’: Western coverage of Ukraine war criticized www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/2/…

Important read. We should not also forget that US and other such tribes, attacked other tribes for little to no reasons. And how media reported that. I like Aljazeera so far. They seem to be a bit more balanced. #tromlive

@futureisfoss @lps Yah well idk when people cluster the "western media" what they are referring to. I mix PBS, BBC, Aljazeera, DW, and a few other orgs from UN to OCCRP. They seem to be criticizing all sides when necessary. When it comes to politics is always going to be a mess-in-the-press. The tricky thing is to choose the lesser-mess.

Many Russian, Chinese, and so forth media are also biased.

USA is indeed a hypocrite monster. Same is Russia. Same is perhaps any tribe out there.

@keelancook Oh it is really amazing. We have an instance at social.trom.tf and a page showcasing its features at trom.tf/social. I used it daily. I kinda replaced my own website/blog because I can create big posts and format the text and such. I have also replaced my RSS reader since I can add any RSS link and follow. We created customized themes for our instance if you are interested so it looks more modern. But overall Friendica is very underrated. It is clean, fast, powerful, and that RSS integration is simply amazing. I used to visit Reddit from time to time. No more. I get my Reddit doze on Friendica.

@exalm I think apps should respect the system preferences. If the users says "I want to use this theme", then apps should respect that. If users want custom themes for certain apps, like light/dark variations, then that should overwrite the rule for that specific app.

@sean Yah almost no one will use peertube. Same story with the fediverse itself. Very very few compared to the big online giants. I think one cool idea would be to have an invidious plugin for peertube so it can showcase and display youtube videos in your peertube. This way will at least incentivize people to use peertube and maybe getting familiar with it may make some use it for their own personal videos. So in a way to merge youtube with peertube via invidious or something similar.
