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.
@Developmentdoc "I use a niche alternative client that the vast majority cannot use, so it's possible in a very slender way to not be manipulated by the system" is a pretty poor argument.

In no particular order:
Shadow of the Colossus
GTA: Vice City
Portal / Portal 2

King's Quest
Space Quest
Leisure Suit Larry
Duke Nukem 3D
Baldur's Gate
Wondering how people in the fediverse do temperature monitoring? I'd like to have some relatively inexpensive, expandable system of temperature probes that I could put around the home and outside. Ideally FOSS (at least at centralization point) so I can manipulate some of the storage and charting.
@dajbelshaw and sometimes you have to because some instance admins hold grudges against other instances and preemptively block all of their users. It creates a bit of a mess when messages don't get through and it's not clear to users on either side why that is. At least email had bounces.
@craftyguy cheaper that way. But painful

For many #OpenStreetMap users on mobile (#OsmAnd, #OrganicMaps, #MagicEarth, apps that supports geo links), the built-in search feature is less than desirable. It works, *kinda*, but many wish it could be better.
If you're one of them users, you might want to check out #Acastus Photon, an #Android app that uses a #Photon server, an alternative geocoder for #OSM data.
Think of it as a companion app for leveling up the UX of your favorite #OSM front-end.

Did you see the news that all of the #JWST instruments are aligned now?
Check out this comparison of one of the newly released calibration images from the MIRI instrument compared to images taken of the same region of space by the WISE and Spitzer space telescopes! Look at that resolution! So many newly resolved stars and structures! 🤩
I can't wait for all the new discoveries we'll make with JWST! #Science data starts in only a couple months!

@jonny a bit of setup, but people are tacking ".rss" on the end of profile or hashtag URLs to get RSS feeds, feeding those through rss2email then using various email sorting/bucketing algorithms. Having something do that in a single client would be advantageous.

Mastodon tip: you can customize a column to list multiple hashtags (and block-list some of them too). It's a good way to discover all the posts gravitating around the topics you like (eg. for art, #mastoart is a popular one). That's really a feature I love here and wanted to share it to newcomers.
Another cautionary tale on how GM/Chevrolet handle the EV market, even today:

@brennen depending on the need, I tend to use onlyoffice (there's a public instance available on https://cryptpad.fr/sheet/ ) or libreoffice calc locally. Ages ago I used scheme-in-a-grid (siag), and gnumeric

We updated this story on stalkerware with a new photo of physical trackers like AirTags and Tile devices, and new info from @evacide @adamrdodge on searching and scanning for them. https://www.consumerreports.org/digital-security/shut-stalkers-out-of-your-tech-a6642216357/

If you're saying we should ditch #Firefox due to #Mozilla's decisions, this is the world #map you're advocating for. #browser

@mhoye that was eterm, part of the enlightenment desktop environment. Seems they've since deprecated it and now have "terminology" as the terminal which doesn't look quite as eye-candy
@linear "move fast and break things" is pretty much the opposite of engineering
