In the initial years #KDE was major threat to software freedom. KDE itself was free software but it depended on proprietary (then) QT libraries.

QT became free software in 1999 with the release of QT 2.0.

Maybe we should celebrate KDE as a 22 years old free software project. :)

Just like email, the Fediverse is decentralised, so it is extremely difficult for anyone to ever buy it.

But there are also other reasons why decentralising makes sense for the Fediverse. Maybe the next most important reason is the ability to choose our own rules.

Each site (or "instance") on the Fediverse can decide its own rules for acceptable behaviour. This makes dispute resolution much more civilised, as people who disagree with an instance's rules can move to a different instance (or even start their own).

It also makes a lot more sense than having a massive megacorporation trying to make yes/no decisions on the entire world's disagreements.

Instances can also choose to block other instances. The worse an instance behaves, the more other instances will block it, until eventually the worst-behaved instances are just talking to themselves.

The Masto developers summed this all up well in their official video:

So remember when I wrote about my first #photo with the #pinephone? Yeah here's more from our trip to the Wallis (CH): (All made with my pinephone, with the Megapixels app)

Some bug fixes and my favorite is that emojis from toots won't leave artifacts.

Other improvements
* Smarter autocomplete for media attachments
* Allow shortcuts in View-mode, e.g. favorite and toggle spoiler
* Support for URLs from non-Mastodon instances e.g. Honk

Tadaa, a #pinenote showing its own schematics. It seems like the size of the pages of schematics is almost perfect for this.

Number eighteen, so tut won't be a teenager for much longer.

This release is mostly thanks to davidoskky@github.

New features

* Shows the visibily of toots

I'm back at work, so I won't be able to resolve issues as quickly or implement new features. But when I've the time and lust I'll give tut some more love :)
