Most Fediverse software supports image uploads, so there's no reason to use Imgur for image hosting. Hell, even on my small single-user server (atomicpoet.org), image hosting is easy peasy. Not only is Imgur not needed, they're an annoyance for those of us who are used to seeing images natively on the Fediverse....
I will add that many of us who work remotely using publicly accessible wifi also use VPNs, and Imgur actively blocks IPs from multiple commercial VPN providers. If you want those users to see the image you're sharing, Imgur is not the way to go.
Pixelfed works well with other Fediverse services like Kbin and Lemmy. Try hosting there!
They haven't said why. I'm assuming that federation with outside entities would present some logistical problems for them w/r/t their privacy obligations in Europe. If that's right, I suspect the whole ActivityPub thing could be "delayed" indefinitely.
They previously announced that they would federate with ActivityPub, but yesterday we learned that it won't happen for "three months." With all the European regulatory issues and other factors, I'll bet it will be a lot longer than that. In fact, I'd be surprised if we ever see full federation capability.
Donald Trump could soon be facing additional indictments from the Department of Justice, The Independent reports. The DOJ has made preparations for a “superseding indictment,” which are additional charges that may include allegations of more serious crimes against a defendant, according to the report.
I scorned the Independent when they reported a few weeks ago that Trump would be indicted "tomorrow." None of the usual journalists in the know confirmed, and plenty of reasonably reliable experts cast doubt on it. And then the next day came, and lo and behold, the indictment was issued.
All this to say, I don't take the report as gospel, but I take it seriously.
After rolling out its password manager to a limited number of users in April, Proton has finally released the service to the general public. The tool, called Proton Pass, uses end-to-end encryption to keep your usernames and passwords away from third parties, including Proton itself. It also lets you create and store randomly...
Sure, but the flip side is that there's really no reason to switch yet if you're happy with a current password manager like Bitwarden. I'm glad Proton is lowering the barriers and making it easy for people to start using pw managers if they aren't already doing so, but if it ain't broke.

BC Wildlife Service predicts the Donnie Creek blaze could continue through the fall and be extinguished in the winter -- or even remain smouldering and reemerge again next spring
The problem is, we're not speaking generally. We're talking about the BC MVA, which sets out specific definitions for terms (e.g. "vehicle") and then specifies both allowances and prohibitions for how objects like "vehicles" can operate on public roads and such.
The article suggests there's a consensus that EUCs don't fit within a permitted category under the MVA, so the rule of leniety doesn't come into play.
