somewhere out there there's a conference room full of people dressed much nicer than you and I which admittedly is a very easy bar to clear because I'm just wearing my pajamas and anyways they've got a big pad of paper on an easel that has the word "mastodon" written on it in big red letters and "mastodon" is circled several times with the same red marker and nobody in the room can figure out what "mastodon" is and why the company isn't making any money from it toot toot
@Paarsec every admin in Europe right now: "can't this idiot hold it until morning at least?"
#chatty 0.7.0-rc4 the multi protocol client (sms, matrix, xmpp) used with #phosh on multiple mobile devices, running on a desktop with multiple #matrix accounts and an #xmpp account.
It's not exactly a "big deal" to run it on a desktop, since one of the ideas with #linuxmobile is convergence, and being able to run the same software across devices (mobile, desktop, tablet, etc), to be able to do this sort of thing.
But it is still very cool to see :)
Memes are meant to be stolen
There is no property on this digital land
Here's a meme I stole myself:
People would rather come up with 50 conspiracy theories about #elonmusk playing 6 dimensional business chess than admit that a rich mediocre white man might actually be mediocre.
A lot of people are moving to @Mastodon, but I also get a lot of misconceptions and questions about how it works, and about this cool giant social network that is the #Fediverse, including @pixelfed or @peertube. So, to answer all these questions, and myabe introduce you to some other parts of the Fediverse, I think it's time for a quickstart guide!
This news doesn't lack a hint of irony:
Former Twitter workers create their own instance on Mastodon https://macaw.social/about
I keep hearing that #Mastodon is not likely to replace #Twitter. To that I say: so what?
I've been contributing to the #Linux desktop for the last 15 years not because it's likely to replace #Windows, but because providing people with free desktop is the right thing to do.
I use and support Mastodon not because it's likely to replace Twitter, but because it's a social network done right.
I'm really happy about the new Mattermost/Nextcloud integration https://nextcloud.com/blog/introducing-the-nextcloud-and-mattermost-integration/ Nextcloud is a platform that integrates everyone. Even competitors 😉
Looking at the bunch of improvements Tokodon is getting, it looks like @VolkerKrause is now active on Mastodon 😜 If you don't already follow him here, you should. He is doing a lot of awesome work everywhere inside KDE.
🚀📱 I've tagged version 0.0.1 of #feedbackd (a daemon to handle audio, haptic and led feedback on #linuxmobile e.g. when using (but not limited to) #phosh.

There's still no API guarantees but having releases should make it a bit easier for distros than tracking git snapshots.
Thanks @devrtz for the fixes in this release!
