web client -they're mostly looking for #Fediverse web clients - Pinafore is a Fediverse web client, perhaps you can retool your client to support other Fediverse server types like #Pinafore does?
Maybe something like:
That supports a wide range of Fediverse server platforms, and of course, mastobrand is included in that list.
I hope that helps!

Have you heard about #ReproducibleBuilds? This is one of the biggest #security benefits of #FOSS. On #Android, this technique ensures that the #FDroid version of an app exactly matches the developer's version.
Read our article below for more details and to see how easy it is for developers to get set up:

Towards a reproducible F-Droid | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository
A common criticism directed at F-Droid is that F-Droid signs published APKswith its own keys. Using our own keys doesn’t mean insecure — we have a goodtrack ...f-droid.org
A few seconds of time here and there can really add up! When you need to send an email NOW, you don't want to backtrack through menus...
So we've added a floating Compose button to K-9 Mail version 6.500 -- available now to test in Beta, on both F-Droid and Google Play.

Vanilla OS has just made its first release – the #Ubuntu-based distro scene just got more exciting!

It's such a shame when cool projects are maintained by bigots.
I wanted to give Hyprland a try, since I love the (technical) direction it's going. Sadly, the maintainers are transphobic and will treat you like garbage if you are a trans person. @orowith2os, a great friend of mine, shared some screenshots about the bigotry on the Discord server that made me reconsider my decision.

Anon: that's disappointing to hear. i read through a few of the past issues and was getting pretty big asshole vibes from vaxry at least, which was already making me skeptical of maintaining the package myself in fedora. part of the job of being a packager is working with the upstream developers, so naturally i try to keep an eye out for hostile or toxic upstreams. thanks for the extra background.
i'm not super familiar with discord, is that screenshot showing that they changed your display name pronouns to "who/cares” after you had set it to "they/them/she/her" or something?

Apparently some dickhead (or dickheads, as the case may be) uploaded malware into an issue on Codeberg and shared links to it and managed to get Codeberg onto a number of block lists so some folks can’t access the site now because their ISPs are blocking it.
If you know the folks who run these lists and can help remove Codeberg from them, I’d appreciate it.

4 years using and championing the #fediverse full time and I've never written a #introductions toot. Well, or I have and can't find it.
I'm a #blind guy from 🇬🇧 with a passion for #technology and #programming, particularly #lowLevel #systemsProgramming in #C, #C++, #Rust, etc.
I've been a huge #freeSoftware / #openSource advocate for the majority of my life. I run #Linux and I love open, #decentralised technologies like #ActivityPub, #Matrix, #bitTorrent etc.
In my view, technology is built to make our lives easier, and in many ways, it isn't these days. It is truly my opinion that the only way #tech can be sustainable is if it's built using #FOSS, and does not give ultimate control to any 1 entity, individual or corporate. If technology is to help the people, it must be built *for* the people.

The path to bringing you a great email experience on Android devices begins with K-9 Mail, which joined the Thunderbird family earlier this summer.
As we work towards a modern redesign of desktop Thunderbird, we’re also working to improve K-9 Mail as it begins its transition to Thunderbird mobile in Summer 2023.
Read more about today's new release of K-9 Mail on the Thunderbird blog:

We've added some comments in the margins explaining some of the new features and UI elements.
Thunderbird for Android is taking shape, and it should be here before Thunderbird Supernova releases next summer!
