Pixelfed will never introduce ads. Ever.
Multiple acquisition offers this year? All declined. Another one last week? Also declined.
I built Pixelfed for the people, not shareholders.
That's why we're exploring Web Monetization - direct creator payments with zero privacy compromise.
I won't sell out now, or ever.
I love you too much, and am forever grateful for you helping me come out and become the dev I always dreamed of ❤️

The image features two silhouetted figures dancing, one in white with a blue Star of David and the other in blue with a circle of stars, representing Israel and the European Union, respectively. Below them, a multitude of skulls is arranged in a pattern that mimics the colors of the Italian flag: red, white, and green. The background is a neutral gray, emphasizing the figures and the skulls. The overall composition suggests a complex relationship between the entities represented by the figures and the historical or political context symbolized by the skulls.

Un libro: La signora Morgenstern e la fuga
Il romanzo possiede una struttura temporale lineare e la narrazione risulta ben ritmata, mai noiosa, capace di far sì che il lettore si interessi in modo particolare alla storia. Certo, sarebbe bene leggere anche i libri precedenti ma si presta anche a una lettura solitaria.
Il lettore si ritroverà così tanto protagonista del romanzo che non vedrà l’ora di sapere “come andrà a finire”.

Over 18,000 students killed in Gaza, West Bank since war began
The Palestinian Education Ministry says at least 18,243 students and staff members, including teachers, have been killed and 31,643 wounded in Gaza and the occupied West Bank since Israel began its war in October 2023.
According to the ministry, more than 17,175 students were killed and 26,264 injured in Gaza, while 140 students were killed and 927 wounded in the West Bank.
Elon Musk hired a dozen Texas lobbyists this year. State law keeps the extent of their influence under wraps.
Musk, the billionaire businessman behind Tesla and SpaceX, influenced several new Texas laws this year. How his lobbyists came about these wins, however, is more of a mystery.
His lobbyists, who represented Tesla, SpaceX and the social media giant X Corp., spent tens of thousands of dollars on things like gifts and meals for Texas elected officials and others during the session, according to an analysis of state ethics data. In most cases, Texas transparency laws do not require lobbyists to disclose which politicians they wined and dined or on behalf of which clients.
A slate of ethics bills, including several to require transparency into who funds mass text messages for political campaigns, failed to become law this year, according to The Texas Tribune. Meanwhile, legislators approved a new law that will reduce the fine for former lawmakers who engage in illegal lobbying activity.
Texas Legislature won’t pass ethics bills this year
Lawmakers filed dozens of bills that would increase transparency around spending in elections and strengthen penalties for campaign and lobbying violations. None are poised to pass.Kate McGee (The Texas Tribune)

Web Monetisation is a really great way forward, and it should fit nicely with Pixelfed and Loops! We just wish it could handle one-off purchases, then it would work for us too 😀
