I have decided to commit to a limit on the maximum number of instances or percentage of the Mastodon network that I will host on Masto.host.
You can read about it here: https://masto.host/the-25-percent-commitment/
For almost five years, we have been doing the exercise of replacing stock OS on phones. We can tell first hand how oftentimes unnecessarily difficult/impossible it is. In the interest of reducing the insane amount of e-waste and truly being in control of our devices, we need laws that allow us to install any software on any device!
Thanks to @fsfe for writing a nice open letter about just that, we happily signed it:

What does every hacker love?
Stickers!!!
Meet me at #Gulaschprogrammiernacht in Karlsruhe tomorrow to get some.
I'll also try to sneak in a lightning talk about #Jazda.
#jazda the #bike computer got a new, pretty font!
See how it thinks we're going 14 km/h? That's because it glitched (don't worry, I found the bug).
Two lessons:
- using ray tracing techniques (sdf) for drawing works on microcontrollers
- but barely fast enough :(

Are you dreaming about a #bike computer that shows where on the trail you are?
I stopped dreaming.
Because I made one!
Trail display is a demo for #Jazda I tested today while making code easier for newcomers.
The triangle on the display is about 10km around a pretty mountain lake surrounded by quaint little towns.
#Nitter is an AGPLv3 licensed #Twitter frontend with all the features of the default site -- but more importantly -- it returns all of the freedom that Twitter's nonfree JavaScript takes away from you. Try it out! https://nitter.net
This is NEXT WEEK! I am giving a data privacy workshop on Friday at 10:30am, and I'd love to see you. Tickets are nearly sold out, but as long as they are available, use WITTSPEAKER15 for a 15% discount to save 15% on passes at checkout. https://www.women-in-tech-texas.com/ #WiTT22
First longer ride with #jazda. Impressions:
- I need to show battery level. I don't know if it was fully charged
- it survived the entire ride
- it shut off after I got back, after almost 5 hours with GPS on
- when the wind is blowing, I'm going way slower than I thought :S

I want to be able to use my #PinePhone with #Mobian as a daily driver, and one app that I was missing from my Android was a shopping list.
I didn't find one, so I started making one with #GTK4 and #libAdwaita in #Vala.
I'm new to all these technologies but I'm having fun learning. If anyone is interested, here's the source:

It's work in progress and doesn't do much yet.

Still wondering what my secret project is?
An #opensource bike computer.
After weeks of working behind the scenes, today the first functional prototype was tested on the road. Hello world!
Check out https://jazda.org if you want a prototype too.
Mastodon has a verification mechanism, though it looks different from Twitter's. We do not ask for your documents. Instead, if you have a website that you are known by, you can verify that you are the owner of that website.
Link to your Mastodon profile from the website, either through a visible link, or through a <link> tag in the head of the document, with a rel=me attribute, and link back to that page from your Mastodon profile. It should then get a green checkmark, like @Mastodon.
