The WordPress project is looking to move its chat system from Slack over to the open-source Matrix software https://make.wordpress.org/meta/2023/01/25/a-meta-subproject-for-evaluating-matrix/. I am sooooo keen on this.

40 years ago in 1983 Tommy Douglas warned us of the problems we would have defending universal public #healthcare. Little by little the neo-lberal plan has always been to chip away at it until it is gone. #Canada #cdnpoli #onpoli #Ontario

Mastodon, an alternative microblogging platform, has seen several spikes in user sign-ups since Elon Musk purchased Twitter in late October. https://www.nbcnews.com/data-graphics/twitter-owner-elon-musk-driving-user-growth-mastodon-rcna62832

hey, i might not be a developer, but @Gargron has made it exceedingly easy to evangelize #mastodon ~ whatever i can do to help keep this going, growing ~ it's everything i've wanted #community in #socialmedia to be

Intriguing. I'm going to follow this story and do some experiments myself ⤵️ #lightphone2 #anxietyrelief

Going on a week long trip, travelling by land, with a few days of travel in sometimes poor network connectivity gave me a reason to check up on my offline docs setup. Zeal is an awesome #opensource offline docs browser based on the proprietary Dash documentation browser, supporting the same docsets. Updating the core docs is easy enough with a few clicks, but I wanted to also have the #Matrix spec with me fully offline. This was recently contributed by Christian Paul - but unfortunately Zeal lacks proper support for easily pulling in Dash user contributed docsets.

No fear, there is a handy CLI app to install user contributed Dash docsets called zeal-user-contrib. Just install, run and choose the docsets you want installed.

The blue bird seems to be going bonkers, and its new owner believes that hardcore coders are the solution all issues, including moderation.

But can moderation be automated? Can it be apolitical? Does it work on decentralised systems like Mastodon, and how does it scale?

Come and ask questions to our guest tomorrow at 18:00 CET to find out what the hell is happening on platforms these days.

Watching the Musk man discover that Apple charges 30% for any use of the App Store, and calling it a « secret tax » is hilarious. I don’t like that 30% commission but it’s not secret and has never been. It’s also not a tax.
Not surprising that Musk wouldn’t know what a tax is, though.
In general, watching that halfwit repeatedly destroy his public image with his own tweets is extremely satisfying.
