Here's the chart that really matters.

Average Mastodon posts per month are going up.

Here's a comparison:

* Sept 2022: ~460M posts
* Dec 2022: ~573M posts
* Feb 2022 (so far): ~678M posts

This is a dramatic upswing in posts, and indicates that activity on Mastodon is continuing to increase.

The chart tells the story. The jump is dramatic.

There is a bug involving BPM changes and audio regions that occurs during saving (a bug report dialog appears) but we don't know the steps to reproduce it.
It seems to occur when you import an audio file then play with BPM changes and move the region around.

Will send $10 via PayPal or Monero to the first person that reports the exact steps to reproduce it from an empty project (after we reproduce it locally)

Cinema posters by Mancunian illustrator Tom Chantrell. So many iconic images, yet most people don't know his name. He worked from 1938 through to the 1980s. (He also did many fabulous B-movie horror and sexploitation posters).

Top-notch observation disguised as a meme. It's not new, but it's great.

The Swedish government advises against using Zoom in a recent report.

Sensitive information is at risk, and more secure solutions are available, like Nextcloud Talk.

Here's a quick look at how our redesigned app menu (e.g. "Hamburger" menu) is progressing.

On the left is Thunderbird 102.
On the right is Thunderbird 111 from our Daily channel.

(Both running on Linux.)

Hopefully you'll notice it just LOOKS better. Crisper font readability, and matching icons for each action.

Update notifications and Sync sign-in populate the top, and it's now much faster to get to your Density and global Font Size settings.

@thelinuxEXP How bothered should I be about Windows 11 sending pings to Steam? What's the relationship there? Is this data Valve has specifically requested?

As a HUGE proponent for gaming on Linux via Proton, and a Steam Deck owners....yea this bothers me.

Watch out for those trackers! #privacy #votepirate #auspol
