I’m looking to follow more #blacktwitter #blackmastodon #blackvoices peeps here. I’m wanting to fully migrate from the bird app and I’m looking forward to curating a good feed over here.

Criteria:
- must be a native app
- must be good
- must be able to pay for it

Now I can see how we got here from a UX perspective: the founding principle of the internet (decentralization) was/is a nice idea, but in practice, we couldn't expect the general public to code and maintain their own websites. CLI, HTML, and CSS were confusing and evolving, and we couldn’t expect normal people to follow along.

It’s #TransgenderAwarenessWeek, so here’s your reminder that much of the open source software you love was made with the help of transgender people—including elementary OS! Shoutouts to all the trans folks in our community 🏳️‍⚧️

In honor of Transgender Awareness Week, we recognize our transgender contributors and we stand with all transgender people.

#TransgenderAwarenessWeek runs Nov 13 - 19, leading up to Transgender Day of Remembrance on Nov 20.

i aggregated a list of the 500 most defederated instances from publicly available block lists. i think it's a good base for instance admins to curate their own block list. #fediblock #data

I have stopped
the microservices
that were in
the infrastructure

and which
you were probably
using
for authentication

Forgive me
they were 1000+
so many
and so wasteful

new Deno works well with the npm packages that I tested

its been a looooong time coming but this could mark a reason to evaluate switching our backend for real

Mastodon users: accessibility is a core principle of the community's culture

Mastodon UI: A 1:21 contrast ratio for scroll handles is good enough

If you do not schedule maintenance, your systems will schedule it for you.

The Vala Discord community is organizing a casual online meetup during the first weekend of December (3rd~4th)

It's a great opportunity to meet other Vala programmers, showcase your projects, get to know about other people's projects, prepare a presentation for a conference, or just stay up to date with what's happening in the community and have fun!
