@LnzyHou Noted, and thanks. 😆

Once upon a time, I thought it was. I thought CoSo was built on the Mastodon framework and open source, but highly tailored, specialized, and later broken from the Fediverse to disallow content federation and the need for vigilant moderation that accompanies it?

Thanks!

Scrubbing Comments and Geolocation makes sense, but scrubbing Orientation doesn't quite make as much sense.

Most digital cameras record the RAW data as the camera sensor sees and records it. JPEG and MPEG usually follow the RAW format but use EXIF to manage Orientation.

@LnzyHou I was hoping that CoSo has the same EXIF data support (photo orientation as Portrait and Landscape) and auto-cropping of massive pictures that other Mastodon instances do.

My Sony, Canon, and Nikon take pictures at 48Mp to 128Mp. Other Mastodon instances re-scale and orient automatically on upload.

That's a shame. Even two years later, CoSo still doesn't respect or properly render EXIF data for picture orientation.

I was hoping counter.social would have fixed this issue by now.

Morning walkies with Sachiko and Toshirō

SO MANY MOSQUITOS! I felt like I was being eaten alive this morning. I had mosquitos flying into my nose, eyes, and ears so that it felt like I was coughing up bugs

The pups were a little annoyed by the swarms of gnats and mosquitoes. I'll need to start spraying us with citronella and lemongrass before our twice-daily walkies now.

It took me a couple of decades, but I *FINALLY* built what Pop-Pop was building in the woodchuck hole. Much like his MITS Altair, Teletype, and Ham Radio in the basement with twisted-pair networking up to the ADM-3A terminal in the kitchen, I have finally built the modern equivalent in our house.

Pop-Pop would have truly enjoyed and appreciated this. It is very much a continuation of his work.

"Hello World"

Returning home to CoSo after a couple years without. It's changed quite a bit since I was last here, so still exploring and settling in.
