3 years ago I volunteered to create a new edition of Ethan Winer’s 1990s BASIC programming book using LibreOffice (@libreoffice). Over the span of a year, with Ethan’s editorial input, I rebuilt the book layout from TXT sources in #LibreOffice , and recreated all diagrams from scratch using #FreeDOS, #InkScape and #GIMP. It turned out great!

How am I going to know things like this, stories that shine a light on hope and change, without Twitter? Great thread from @IjeomaOparaPHD? #RIPTwitter

Twitter fam, thank you for helping me to find the family of the 9 year old girl from NJ who had the police called on her by her neighbor for collecting lantern flies. I connected with them & invited them to @yale for a Black girl led Science Tour! Yesterday—HIS…

Mooment, der rbb hat seinem früheren Chefredakteur erst den Vertrag vorzeitig verlängert, so dass er lebenslanges Ruhegeld bekommt, ihn dann vorzeitig in den Ruhestand geschickt, ihm dafür aber einen üppigen Beratervertrag gegeben? Rente+Ruhegeld+Honorar?! rbb24.de/panorama/beitrag/2022…

📺 Join me & @bnjbvr_en this afternoon @ 4PM CET for some cozy @matrix #WebAssembly hacking live on stream!

We are going to be looking at Trinity, Benjamin's supercool side project that lets you write #matrix bots in #rust & WebAssembly. Come for the coolness, stay for the endless hilarity that ensues as I attempt writing Rust code and hope live to tell the story :ablobcateyesflip:

Mastodoní admini a adminky, spouštíme relay server relay.witter.cz kterým můžeme propojit naše federované timelines, tak aby noví uživatelé (a případně nové servery) měli lepší přehled o tom co se děje na CZ Mastodonu aniž by se všichni museli navzájem sledovat.

Jak se můžete připojit?
V administraci přidejte nový Relay (Most): relay.witter.cz/inbox

Povolené jsou nyní jen relevantní CZ servery (ty vaše).

Federování zdar!

Today I'm refactoring our rich text editor component for #Matrix. I have in mind a 3-layer structure:

* high level operations like "bold"
* medium level that preserves all the invariants (e.g. no adjacent text nodes)
* low level that does simple things like add/delete a node and does not preserve invariants

It's all happening over here: github.com/matrix-org/matrix-r…

For those who don't know, Bookwyrm is basically a better, federated Goodreads. Because it speaks ActivityPub, you can subscribe to someone's Bookwyrm feed from directly in Mastodon and see the book reviews they post!

joinbookwyrm.com/

Also there are 2 spots remaining in the Bookwyrm patreon to pay $40/mo and support the project in a huge way *and* have @tripofmice run a server for you and 50 of your bookwormiest friends: patreon.com/bookwyrm

Keyoxidizer: the GPG helper script for @keyoxide identity proofs now makes it easy to add identity proofs for more than 50% of the platforms supported, added Matrix and IRC today.

Help us get all ☑️s in all the places and contribute wherever you're comfortable:

:mastodon: Behind the scenes: Even with our deliberately small Mastodon server, we've been running over 5x the number of daily federation transactions as pre-October.

🏆 We couldn't do it without our Supporters. Thank you!

I got inspired by setting up my own Mastodon instance and getting into this whole decentralised federated model to try out Matrix (matrix.org, @matrix). So, after some fiddling I managed to have a Matrix server running using Synapse. You can now IM me through @clemens:matrix.multiverset.net or come in and say hi in the public lobby of my server: #lobby:matrix.multiverset.net 😎

Delighted to see a new instance devoted to #unions, union members, and allies. This seems like a potentially fruitful way to organize for progressive causes on Mastodon and in the fediverse generally. Check out union.place/public/local cc @tim

I've been sick for a while, but I'm feeling much better now. I've compiled short clips of my unfinished projects to show I'm still around. Some of these are almost complete, and some of them never will be. Some are jokes, some are serious. Some are recent, but the oldest was 2 years ago. My originals are compiled at the end, separated by a beep. Hope you all enjoy.
