Mekka :verified: 💉💉💉🎉  

Amplifying for reach.

Can someone help answer these accessibility questions for new Mastodon users?

This is pretty important, and will affect if I can keep recommending Mastodon as a platform.

Even if you run your own instance, like I do, you have no #privacy on the #fediverse.

Only I get to read the direct messages received at my instance but I have no control over who sees the direct messages I send to other instances.

So, again, until end-to-end encryption is mandated by the core protocol (ActivityPub), remember:

Treat all posts on #mastodon / the fediverse as public and use an end-to-end encrypted messaging app like Signal if you want to have private conversations with people.

What am I doing this Friday evening? Playing the "don't buy Resident Evil 4 again" challenge now on Nintendo Switch.

Hi folks 👋

One thing that GitLab seems to be missing that GitHub has is the ability to see how many files you've reviewed (n of X files viewed) in a merge request 😞

Found this toot again now after changing jobs. Very disappointed to say I'm at a React shop instead of working with but no job is perfect 🤷‍♂️

That said I am very much in the job position of making developer work go faster 🔥

FWIW I'm on Librem's branded social services because I want to know that I'm paying someone to host my account (and I wasn't on Patreon when I set this account up). It's definitely a smaller server so I don't see many issues here. That said if anyone knows of a Philly/PA based local instance that is being run I would be interested and might migrate there (willing to chip in $ too!)

Let's be a part of building this community out. If you find someone interesting boost them (even if you normally aren't the type of person that 'boosts') It'll help us find a community easier.

What mastodon needs right now is network size, let's work to build it.

Little advice from an open source maintainer.
If you as a user or community member want your voice to be heard, try to format your message in a polite, direct, and short way. Even if the topic is very large, try to engage in a fluid conversation by discussing fewer points. Writing massively long messages might cause the opposite effect, where the maintainer feels overwhelmed, your most important points get buried, and the conversation ends up dying due the too broad topics.
Less is more.

Hmmm I wanted to try the official @Mastodon app for Android but the login seems to be redirecting me to an instance. Not sure if there's another way to log in 🤔

I can sort of see why people get annoyed with Spotify, it definitely gets into a rut with playing the same bands repeatedly. I'm pretty sure I've heard the same song three times from different albums on this playlist.

Just unboxed and set up my new monitor from work. I didn't appreciate how big a 4K curved monitor would be! The packaging that the whole thing came in was bigger than my daughter 😳

Are there any Linux laptop vendors that sell anything with a 4k screen???

One of the best parts about Cale Makars goal last night is how it's breaking peoples brains about the offsides rule. Love it or hate that's the rule and he knew exactly what he was doing according to the interviews.

Hi fediverse! Boosts appreciated on this one.

I’m part of a co-op building a platform for artists to sell art without getting exploited. I’ve been working on it for a while but there’s a lot of work to do and I could use some help. A ton of the main features are in place, but there’s still some big gaps and a lot of polish left before it can launch.

The platform is fully open source and developed in the open. It’s built on Phoenix/Elixir and Tailwindcss. Our co-op is already incorporated and established and it’s open to members that want to actually commit but you don’t need to be a member to contribute or help.

Does this sound interesting? I’d love some help! I’m also happy to answer questions. And no, you don’t need to know Elixir already. It’s pretty easy to learn for the things you’d be using it for. Even some design help would be welcome. Feel free to reply here or DM me!

So are there any open source hybrid smart watches that anyone knows about? My expectations aren't high but figured this is the better place to ask. I do love my Withings watch but am wondering if there's other alternatives to using some of the features rather than connecting it to Google Fit
