Mastodon merged hCaptcha support in mainline: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/25019

This is something that I had been begging for for years to help me combat spam signups on donphan.social, issues on GitHub have been ignored or dismissed as unnecessary at the time:
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/7601
https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/issues/877

I had enough and made the initial implementation for this feature myself on glitch-soc. At the time I got public and DM abuse from FOSSbros for doing it.

Claire reworked it into a cleaner implementation and moved the captcha from the registration form to the confirmation e-mail and merged it into glitch-soc

Now Mainline Mastodon ported that feature for themselves as an "emergency measure" (as in "we care now because we’re the ones needing it") without any acknowledgement for previous requests for that feature nor the work I put into it.

I was honestly getting really fed up with my #librem5 last week. It's been years now and it wasn't anywhere near as reliable as a phone should be. But then a few days ago a fix for modem-resume-after-suspend was pushed and the difference is night and day! I can finally pull my phone out of my pocket in a high-stress my-kid-throwing-tantrum-in-supermarket-and-I-don't-know-which-dogfood-to-buy situation and know that it will Just Work .

Today there was a great update of the #millipixels camera app for the #Librem5. Many thanks to all who worked on this.

Very nice that you can see the #gain, #exposure, #whitebalance, and #focus values in real time!

One issue that I have had with my #librem5 since day one has been the wireless hotspot. Off and on, I try to take the time to troubleshoot the issue. Today, I had some time and I am on call which is when I need it most so I started looking at it. It worked first time without issue!!!
The only problem is, was it fixed by an update since the last time I looked at it, or did I fix it last time and not know it.
If I fixed it, I don't know what I did because it's been a couple of weeks.

US Mastodon wondering what the hell is going on 😂

This month, Lisbon will become the latest European city to bar thru-traffic from its city centre. The plan, to be introduced for a 3-month trial period, will see cars barred from driving thru (but not driving to) the heart of #Lisbon’s downtown. Via CityLab.

Twitter DMs are encrypted in the same way that Tesla cars are self driving.

Today marks a year since the killing of Palestinian-American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh in Jenin, West Bank. Last year, the Bellingcat team unpacked the circumstances around her death using open source techniques. https://www.bellingcat.com/news/mena/2022/05/14/unravelling-the-killing-of-shireen-abu-akleh/

Testing the new merge request to set lockscren wallpapers in #phosh while waiting for vodafone's hotline to *please* fix out internet connection (which they fail to do so for seven days in a row now).

In Lisbon, Portugal, students occupied seven schools and two universities, forcing one high school to remain closed for 3 days, while students at the University of Lisbon barricaded themselves in the dean’s office.

Trqffic also stopped in the Portuguese capital with street blockades in solidarity with the occupations. The radical action comes despite harsh responses from teachers at one school who called police to evict pupils who began occupations last week. #Climate

So I wanted to make a movie this time, to make it simple for once...but I couldn't help myself and started sketching puzzles for it xD Probably inspired by Reboot Develop and all the motivation from the lovely people I met there <3 Contemplating if I can do both, from the same assets.

We regret to inform you that Mastodon has decided to leave the F-Droid Reproducible Builds project.

Going forward, Mastodon updates on F-Droid will be maintained by the F-Droid team and signed with an unique per-app key generated by F-Droid.

If you installed Mastodon through F-Droid, please uninstall and reinstall it to keep receiving updates.

​​ A call to all app developers! ​​

We want your help! While there is an official Calckey client in the works, we'd love to see more third party clients for Calckey start to be worked on! That's why we're putting out a $200 bounty for either an original Calckey app on your mobile platform of choice, or a $150 bounty adding Calckey support to your existing app.

There are some guidelines though:

- Uses the Calckey/Misskey API (https://calckey.social/api-doc), and implements basic features (including all timelines, quotes, reacts, explore, notifications, chats, bookmarks, channels, antennas/lists).

- Written in a language that compiles for your platform of choice (Kotlin/Java for Android, Swift for iOS. No React Native/Capacitor. Flutter is a maybe).

- Follows modern design guidelines for your platform of choice.

- Submitted to an App Store (Play Store or App Store. F-Droid is a bonus!) If you don't have a developer license, we'll also cover the cost of that.

- If you're adding support for an existing app, it must have at least 10,000 downloads.

DM this account if you're interested!
