Hello, Fediverse! We’re the Endless OS Foundation, a non-profit bridging the digital divide with technology designed to make computing and learning accessible, fun, and safe for all.

We make the Linux-based Endless OS as well as the open source Endless Key app.

You may know us from the GNOME community, from running into us at education-focused events, or just from being around the Linux community for years. :)

#introduction

if I were interviewing (I’m not), I might be tempted to casually ask about elon musk and use the reply as a litmus test to glean some insight into how much toxicity a company tolerates behind closed doors

just an idea

I'm converting my mastodon critiques into a word document that I will likely use to post mastodon local versions of those large threads about mastodon that I've made on twitter.

Having said that, I'm not really "anti-mastodon," as much as I am trying to point out that the fediverse does not have the tools to support the ways that marginalized groups built community on the bird site.

And it really comes down to affordances of the platforms.

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.

Carnegie Mellon's open source programs office is hiring a community manager. This is an exciting opportunity to help build a new model for community engagement at universities: https://cmu.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/CMU/job/Program-Manager--Open-Source-Programs-Office_2018917

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
