are there any free scanned textures of bird feathers?

we have seen a lot of advice posts about like. actionable ways to get involved with current uspol stuff. a lot of them are good and important for an audience with a certain amount of able-bodied-ness. we often feel bad reading them because we are dying slowly in a city with few maskers and no help with hygiene, homecare, or getting out. even the most basic suggestions on these lists are often unsustainable for us.

if you want to make a difference, and you are able bodied, please ask folks in your community what kinds of mundane survival tasks they need help with. Especially disabled folks, especially housebound folks, and especially BIPOC, queer and trans folks who struggle even more to get those care needs met.

I guarantee there is someone in your community who cannot leave home and is maybe even slowly dying like we are and would kill for even a little good help from someone who actually listens to their needs instead of deciding for them what they need.

Also, wear a mask in public and talk to your circles about wearing masks in public because the unmitigated viral spread is a large reason why many of us are housebound.

Quoting to pin, we rly need cws for this stuff

Also lets us view alt text next to the image it describes instead of a popup that has to be clicked on
We want to get better at alt text and being able to see the image at same time as reading will help build that muscle

We would appreciate it if folks did not describe what LLMs do as "hallucinating". We hallucinate and feel its already stigmatized enough. Call it imagination if you want.

"Imagination" achieves a similar anthropromorphization except that its not carrying the association of specifically a marginalized group.

If you're not comfortable calling it "imagination" because that feels too humanizing, please consider why you're so comfortable broadly dehumanizing those that experience hallucinations.

we are looking for an ios mastadon frontend that:

• doesnt auto expand content warnings when i have it set not to
• bigger emoji
• doesnt give double notifications for everything no matter how much i press the magic “stop duplicate notifs” button
• does not have ai slop integration lmao

EDIT:
also:

• stops us before boosting something without alt text

Aaaaa thank u for the boost @lispi314 !

Here’s a little more info for anyone looking to help, and we can get more upon request tomorrow:

Linux Mint Cinnamon

Uhhh embarrassing to say but:
we made a full-disk backup to a new borg repo on the hard disk

then realized there was no way for us to preview or check a full disk backup

then made an rsync backup accidentally to the same folder as the borg repo

and iwrc, i think we deleted most of the borg repo specific things we recognized

Only the steamapps folder is synced i think but i haven’t like. Checked the rest of my computer super thoroughly.

Is there a tool for visualizing links in the file hierarchy?

Takes more executive function than we have to spare to find profile images we’re happy with so they’re staying empty for an indefinite period

help help help it appears as though i have hard links across two different storage mediums and that shouldn't be possible but its happening.

we have backup of our computer before reinstalling OS a while back and it has a .steam folder in the home directory and somehow the .steam/root/steamapps subdirectory in the backup on our hard drive has been hardlinked (same inode?????) and synchronizes with the same folder on our main ssd. help help help help
