Ok Fediverse, one thing I absolutely love about the Birdsite is watching historians and other academics share their work in public to improve our understanding. I think I'm just gonna start cross posting some things I find interesting as I come across them. Maybe we can make a new hashtag? For now I'm gonna just reuse one from Birdsite that Dr. Karin Wulf created.

Really excited to try out Mimic 3 Text To Speech engine by @mycroft_ai when it comes out here soon. Looking forward to seeing how much of an improvement it is and hopefully try it offline too.

Trying to imagine what my next job would be thinking about the parts of my current job that I enjoy. I really love open standards and . Lately I've been digging in more to standards as well. In the past my work has focused on bundling, developer tooling, and trying to improve CI processes.

I think if I was to try and sum up my work it's that I like enabling teams and individuals to go faster.

Would appreciate any signal boost on this one. I’m incredibly excited to build a team around BeeWare. I want to make sure we leave no stone unturned.

Really wanna replay Persona 3 again on handheld. When's it coming to Switch

I love but the serialization of a boolean to a string always throws me. Anyone have a good way of handling this that they really like and want to share?

Been working on a component library with Storybook JS. Are there any best practices for adding a story around typography? I want to display font and headings to make sure they're correct but this seems harder to accomplish than expected....

Those of you who use a cross posting service with Birdsite, which one do you use and why?

Mastodon admins:

How large is the current database storage of your instance?

(Retoots welcomed; I'm thinking about options for a small instance implementation...)

So far my biggest gripe about Tusky and it's forks are that I can only have 5 tabs at a time. What's with this restriction? It seems arbitrary. How am I supposed to keep lists of topics and ppl? Maybe the official Mastodon app is different 🤔

I'm still a pretty basic user, but I would like to see how well I could replace VSCode with Nvim ultimately. VSCode is just straight murder on a battery. If you're a or user tips and tricks appreciated!!

Fiddling around with Neovim again today.

Because why work on your side projects when you could work on the tooling _underneath_ your side projects.

FYI for newbies 

Not many ppl on the fediverse talking about it looks like. I'll have to start sharing about them here as well as on the musksite

I'm interested in moving from mastodon.social to an instance where I am a paying customer; it would be especially awesome if the vendor also provided other hosted libre tools for paying customers, such as an Owncloud/Nextcloud or Jitsi/BigBlueButton instance. I welcome your recommendations & I welcome boosts.

One thing I'm really missing here on the fediverse is all the sports accounts. Still gotta get my fancy stats fix from the Birdsite

I don’t know who needs to hear this but “free speech” isn’t what some billionaire says you’re allowed to say on his private property.
