Last year we announced we would be joining Mastodon to explore an alternative to today's social media.
We’re excited to announce we’re expanding Mozilla.social to a private beta, with hopes to open to the public soon.
This is just the beginning. Read more about the launch of our instance, including how to join the public waitlist. https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/mozilla-social-mastodon-private-beta-announcement/
Meet #Timefold, newly forked from #OptaPlanner by @geoffreydesmet, open source project optimizing operational planning, saving thousands of organizations time, money, and resources.
Nice #Librem5 update today brings Camera-Update. All the different functions (Gain, Balance, Exposure, Focus) can now be set to auto. While not always working perfect, this enhances my fotos as my use case in 99 % is not to set all parameters perfectly but to just take quick a foto. Also there is video-recording now. I am excited. I am about two weeks daily driving my Librem5 now and I feel that I will not switch back to Android. #purism #linuxphones

Seaweeds are not plants. They’re algae, without roots or leaves, although they do photosynthesize: harvesting the sun’s energy to build themselves. BUT there are a small number of real flowering plants in the sea: the seagrasses, which evolved from terrestrial plants and grow in large meadows. Mostly water moves pollen around, but for at least one species, small crustaceans do the job of bees and carry sticky pollen from one plant to another. Underwater gardening, anyone? #Ocean #Seagrass
#OnThisDay, 26 Mar 1974, Gaura Devi and 27 village women prevent the logging of trees in the village of Reni in the Himalayas. They confront armed men from the lumber company and hug the trees to stop them being felled.
Part of the Chipko movement, which was protesting deforestation, the women’s actions led to a protection order and fed into a wider desire to protect the Himalayan region.

strange thought:
If I got 1$ per month for every package I maintain for Fedora Linux, that would basically be enough money to live on ...
Popular packages I'm responsible for include:
- the new Sequoia based GPG backend for RPM (present on *every single Fedora 38 install*)
- CLI tools like ripgrep, exa, lsd, bat
- Rust bindings for GLib, GTK3, GTK4, GStreamer, etc. (which are used to build librsvg2, gnome-tour, helvum, etc.)
so ... who wants to adopt some packages? 😁

Which countries, historically, pumped the most greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, leading us to climate breakdown?
Shouldn't these countries pay the most to repair the damage and help everyone shift to to a carbon-free future?
