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.

So far one of the best things about everybody here is that I can actually scroll a bit mindlessly now but also hit a point where I've seen it all. No more bottomless pit of engagement to monetize me. I can just actually get back to work 😆

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.

I see we've reached the "name with numbers and no picture" era of Mastodon already. That was fast.

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 🏳️‍⚧️

@purism are there any plans to upgrade this server now that Mastodon v4 is out? I'm trying to decide if I should stay here or move to a different server

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

blocked instances, meta 

ok I know there are a lot of and people on here these days so I'm hoping that I get a few good answers around this:

What do you call a team that is focused on the web side of the platform? My team is focused on the meta structure of a large web app and responsible for the overall "web platform" (how it builds, perf, monitoring) choices.

We're definitely not the SRE team, but we're also not a traditional product team. What would you call us?

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
