Any of my fedifriends looking to pick up a small web design job? Friend of a friend is looking for some help. US preferred, San Diego / Cali best. Boosts welcome!

Who's ready for the #pixelfedApp?

If you want early access to the private beta, stay tuned! We'll share more details in the coming days ✨

Encryption doesn't mean encryption.

It is a code word for freedom of speech, a free press, and the preservation of human rights ✊

Encryption can be complicated — so here's a quick run-down of how it works, and which type is the best for staying safe and secure online.

I discovered that you can tell Twitter you're not interested in trending topics and I couldn't be happier.

"Donald Trump did -"
Don't care.

"The state of Georgia is -"
Don't need to know, don't live there.

"The war in Ukraine -"
Ah-ah-ah, fool me once...

"Please care about politics."
Never again.

Just had a question about this, thought it might be useful to answer as a post:

There are lots of different server types on the Fediverse, but they talk to each other using a common standard called ActivityPub.

This means you don't need to be on the same server type to interact.

For example, if you're on a Mastodon server you can have a conversation with someone on a Friendica server.

This works even when the server types are very different. People on Mastodon etc can like, comment and share videos from @peertube or follow livestreaming accounts on @owncast. (To see examples, take a look at @FediVideos)

This process is so seamless that you may not even be aware you're interacting with people from other server types. If you're a Mastodon user, try clicking on @bobfisherphoto and it will look like a Masto account, but it's actually a @pixelfed account. To see what an account "really" looks like, click on the avatar on its profile page.

After spending a few days with flatpaks and appimages, all I can say is "This is the margarine of application deployments"

Native is by far best. Appimage comes second for me, flatpak is a little behind, and snap is absolute trash. Snap is the "margarine flakes" of application packages.

We're getting so close to 50% with 4 days left! Thank you so much to all the new backers and to everyone who has contributed or helped spread the word. I can feel everyone's love, positivity, and good thoughts! ❤️☺️ Let's keep going! 🙌

O’really!

That feel when you're testing your own game and are having fun

If you're on the Fediverse and you want to host code for libre software and other collaborative projects, you might want to check out @gitea:

https://gitea.io

It's free, open source and it's currently in process of adding Fediverse compatibility through ActivityPub, the same standard that Mastodon etc use to communicate with each other.

You can see some of the Gitea instances that already have experimental Fediverse connections listed at https://fedidb.org/software/gitea

If you're just looking for a Gitea instance to join, there's @codeberg at https://codeberg.org
