The European Space Agency (ESA) operates a constellation of satellites known as the Copernicus Sentinels. Collectively the system generates terabytes of Earth Observation (EO) data daily. Copernicus Data Space Ecosystem (CDSE) is a free, public platform that provides access to Copernicus data and a range of analysis and visualization tools. A talk delivered at FOSDEM 2025 dives into the details:
I posted a comment on this account a few days ago wishing that there were a pixelfed app with a more image-centric interface (showing mostly just the images themselves on the feed, not so much text).
A few days later, @apps was updated with just that feature.
Is... is this how #FOSS and the #Fediverse is supposed to work? Sorta... mystically and gratifyingly?
I could get used to this. 
My recent post regarding #icecat browser extensions getting disabled has resolved itself. Not sure how though.

Just shared a recap of my FOSS Backstage 2025 presentation on open source adoption in Africa.

great job, Leon!
Manchmal ist man sooo eingefahren, an Gewohnheiten gebunden, daß man nicht merkt, wie sehr sich die (Konsum)Welt verbessert.
Durch Wechsel auf #Linux & #grapheneOS für privat habe ich feststellen dürfen, wie gut sich #FLOSS für Privatpersonen entwickelt. Jahrelang ignoriert.
Durch Verzicht auf #amazon habe ich festgestellt, daß sich #Onlineshopping und #Kundenservice bei vielen kleinen Shops maßgeblich verbessert hat, während amazon nachlässt.
#IceCat extensions disabled because they're not verified?!!
WTF is this BS?!
