I'm going to be really blunt here: if you don't care about trans people, if you even remotely think there's the slightest hint of merit to the blatant genocidal actions that are going on in the US right now, you can fuck right off from my projects, spaces, and communities.

I don't give a fuck about "tech shouldn't be political" garbage takes. Tech is made by people and legislators in the US are trying to *kill* my colleagues right now. There is no tech without people.

Look, what the cat dragged in. #librem5 #purism #phone #linux

Hello from my #Librem5 docked to my new #Nexdock360! I really feel like I'm living in the future here.

@og I've followed the official instructions with success:

It was easier than I thought. I recommend #Phosh as the user interface.

Trans people:
- Exist for thousands of years
- GOP: "Eradicate this modern ideology!"

Confederacy:
- Lasts for 4 years
- GOP: "We must protect our heritage"

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.

Von 12 bis 18 Uhr lädt die Wenceslaigasse zum Mitmachen, Informieren und Genießen ein. Bei #Livemusik, werden Hochbeete bepflanzt, Saatkugeln geformt, Gespräche geführt und Leckereien genossen. Für Kinder gibt es eine Hüpfburg, verschiedene Bastel- und Rätselangebote und eine liebevoll gestaltete Fahrradspielstraße. Auch der #Siebdruckstand hält eine Reihe an Motiven für Kinder bereit.

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

I disagree with the current CEO of Mastodon about his stance on mid-sized instances. We don't want to be run in isolation, we are part of the Fediverse. "Normal users just want the default", he can repeat that as many times as he wants, it doesn't make it true because of that.

Diversity is the DNA of the Fediverse and Mastodon is just one part of the whole. Thousands of people spend their time and money to make it successful. Anyone who dismisses that and single-handedly tries to market the Fediverse as a Mastodon brand and use "crowding out" techniques to prevent users from even being encouraged to choose an instance from a diversity will ultimately fail.

I am super disappointed with the direction Mastodon Corporation is taking. If there is not enough headwind here soon, then sooner or later it will lead to a schism.

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.
