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!

Ok. back on Mangane \o/ Have got sucked out of Fedi again so trying to see whats new. In a way its good I can get out of social networks for weeks without feeling like I am missing out on anything.

Far too accurate.

Os ricos consomem demasiado.

Gentle but timely reminder, courtesy of IBM in 1979.

on the bikes again we headed to
Tróia, took the ferry to Setúbal and from Almada a ferry to #Lisbon.
when we arrived in the bustling city of Lisbon we realized that its not fun to cycle here. the busy and ruthless traffic on the steep roads was way too crazy for us! so we decided to leave the city at night and cycled until we found a campspot at 2 o'clock in the morning 😅

route:
Aljezur -> Odemira -> Vila Nova de Santo André -> Tróia -> Setúbal -> Almada -> Lisbon

new from me: More than half of Twitter Blue's earliest subscribers are no longer subscribed to the service

that is, over 54% of the 150,000 users who first subscribed when Twitter Blue launched in November are no longer subscribing

https://mashable.com/article/half-of-twitter-blue-earliest-subscribers-no-longer-subscribed

Here's the problem.

Recent growth on mastodon.social is greater than the growth rate of November 2022.

But growth on other servers, like mstdn.social, has flatlined.

This has been confirmed to me by numerous Mastodon server admins.

Very concerning!

#Windows95 was the pinnacle of #UI #design!

- or at least this is how flame wars start.

I decided to take a closer look at the reasons for that statement myself.

And now I think there's more to that: enough to write a series of blog post about #UX that we lost, or indeed never had.

The first post takes a look at platform (in)consistency and the tension between #users and #developers .

Porque se hoje é dia de descanso, é também dia de recordar a fragilidade do que damos por adquirido.

Lol, some scammer posted a phishing link to deb-on-mobile maintainers, and after spamming it with https://gitlab.com/kop316/annoy_spammers , they look down their site.
