I changed a lightbulb today!
And this makes me happy to be living in the future, because I think the last time I did this was 3-4 years ago.
When I was growing up, replacing bulbs was something that we did at least once a week.
When I moved into a shared house as a student, we were replacing at least one bulb a month. Around then, CFL subsidies came in and the cost of a CFL dropped to about the same price as one month's power consumption for an incandescent bulb, so we replaced all of them, and then didn't change a single bulb for the next two years I was in that house. The next house (which I lived in for around 5 years) also used CFLs and they would gradually have lower peak brightness so would get moved around to places that didn't need as much light.
We have LEDs here now, and they don't seem to fade. I think this is the first one to fail in 8 years (we did bring some older CFLs, which gradually died and were replaced). I'll see if this is a pattern (do they all fail after 8ish years, or was this an outlier?).

Hello everyone!
Here's version 0.20.2 of #GoToSocial; it's another bugfix release!
codeberg.org/superseriousbusinβ¦
If you're updating to this version from v0.20.0 or v0.20.1, it's a very easy update with no db migrations.
If you're updating to this version from a version before v0.20.0, please follow the update instructions from v0.20.0, but replace 0.20.0 with 0.20.2 throughout. Be aware that the update to 0.20.x contains some potentially very long migrations. Please do read the notes carefully!
Release highlights:
name property instead of summary for alt text (for now anyway), due to compatibility issues with *oma, *key, and Iceshrimp.authorize_interaction to avoid surprising 404 when trying to do a remote interaction.Thanks for reading! Have a good week!
Here's version 0.20.0 of GoToSocial, **Sinister Sloth**. It's been a long summer of gently poking and prodding at the sloth's tummy and sides to make xem giggle.Codeberg.org

Making a simple form in LibreOffice Base to do the equivalent of a minimal Google Form, but local instead of sending the data to Google.
Here's where I'm stuck: How do I rig up a button that saves the current record *and* starts a new one? Do I have to write a macro for this?
Wow, just wow.

We just released our biggest (and most beautiful) update ever. The new version fully embraces Liquid Glass and comes with a ton of enhancements, fixes and meaningful changes.
The update is available now, and itβs so big that we couldnβt fit all the fixes and changes into the App Storeβs text field. You can still find the full release notes on our website:
Oh, and itβs really beautiful. Happy release day, everybody!

I have already been asked how we intend to celebrate #curl's 30th anniversary next November (counted from httpget's birth)
But no, I have no idea. I'll think about that in about 11 months

Is there a mailing list service (as in βI want to send concert announcements to a few peopleβ) thatβs not objectionable, not predatory, and not run by vile people?
For years Mailchimp was the go-to, but I see them landing on boycott lists of late.
Mailchimp was bought by Intuit, so it falls into that top category.
Edit (post reply): I mean they are objectionable, predatory and run by vile people.
@hub
Intuit falls in the βnon-predatoryβ category?
Their whole business model relies on lobbying to prevent the US government from setting up a free alternative to their services
Like most countries in Europe have for instance
Their for-profit βtax adviceβ service is totally parasitic and could disappear in an instant if the IRS just sent everyone the filled out forms They Already Have, like every civilized country
I didnβt ditch Mailchimp last mailing because I was too lazy
@AccordionBruce I meant it doesn't fit anymore. Sorry.
Intuit is one of this companies that should be wiped out of the planet.
Hello #FOSDEM crowd. If you know someone attending 2026 who creates some form of an #openart - under a free license, let them know that there could be a small community gathering for them. Theater producers, visual artists, actors, musicians, painters, photographers and more and more are welcomed.

I genuinely love software, when it works. I've just configured some stuff in order to scrobble music I listen to basically everywhere, Windows Browser, Windows Foobar, any app on Android, and Spotify to last.fm again.
Also will use some cli programs to transfer my Spotify playlists over to Tidal to then download that music in best quality flac. It's monday but I finally feel a bit competent and productive again.
Excited to announce #IzzyOnDroid will be at #FOSDEM! Our stand request got approved! fosdem.org/2026/news/2025-11-1β¦
We'll be sharing a stand with @shiftphones and @BlissLabs, showing just what a great experience our little corner of #Android can be.
Repairable devices, a FOSS #AOSP ROM and an "app store" (or repository if you prefer) for all the privacy and user respecting apps you could want to run on it :)
Of course the teamwork doesn't end there, we'll love to tell you more at the stand :)
