I've been asked a few times in the past week to use #GitHub, and I'd like to be helpful, but I keep seeing Renée Good's face and it would seem disrespectful somehow.
Happy to email a patch, but I'm done with that site.
that now makes me wonder why this ticket was closed without any comment: gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-… If it were possible to do cross-instance forks and PRs then I'd be all-in for #Gitlab.
Problem to solve This task comes after the implementation of ActivityPub for social features, implementing cross-instance search, implementing visualizing cross-instance projects,...

GitLab employees are forbidden to discuss politics at work or raise concerns about GitLab's customers.
Even when it's perfectly clear that a customer is evil, they want to "do business with customers with values that are incompatible with our own values".
They "welcome everyone […] to be customers of GitLab" as they "do not currently exclude anyone from being a customer based on moral/value grounds."
I just (re-)discovered the Playdate play.date/ and it looks really cool but also really expensive. Is there way to buy a used one easily in France/Europe?
will you be at fosdem? I have 2 playdates and would possibly be willing to sell one. (It got a display repair at some point but works perfectly again.)
What are the current plans from BlueSky (the company) for interoperability with Mastodon/ActivityPub? We currently have two emerging alternatives to X that deserve to be taken seriously: the fedive...

This is gonna sound like a call out post, and... No, it really isn't. I'm not calling out anyone in particular. I've just seen it one too many times. The straw, the camel's back, yadiyada.
My cis dudes. I love you. I really do. But I'm tired of you going under women's post expressing their grievances about men, to explain how ashamed you are of other men. It's... It's tiring. Like, it's really fucking tiring. Because you don't realize that every time we make such a post there is at least one or two of you. Every time.
We don't care about you being not like the other guys. Yes, sure, are one of the good ones, whatever. Good boy and all that. But when you do this, not only do you not contribute anything to the discussion, you're actually adding to the problem. It's adding emotional labour to the women trying to explain themselves when really you should just stay quiet and listen.
Give a like. Boost the post, even. But you don't need to say anything, not to us. Call out other men in the responses that are probably trying to argue and ending up exactly proving her point. Do better, instead of saying that you already are.

One of my key takeaways from IETF123 was that we should specify #XMPP over WebTransport. However, I want to reiterate that, even without QUIC, XMPP can be pretty FAST.

FreakyFwoof@universeodon.com Have you tried the new ones yet? If so would you say extra precision/volume make them a lot more useful real-world? I'm thinking of picking a couple up for some travel/hotel stays I'll be doing soon ish, but I didn't know about the iOS 26 requirement. My phone is old. Pretty sure it's allowed to install 26, I just didn't want to.
