Was looking forward to a smoother all-#FOSS paper writing workflow with @zotero and @libreoffice, am now also looking forward to getting some cool stickers 😎

I tooted Hello World on November 30, 2022.
Then I began tooting my #music and a ton of #puns #jokes, and #memes. And you all responded so genuinely, and with such positivity, that I very quickly was made to feel at home.
My deepest gratitude goes out to the #Mastodon community, a #community that has literally improved the quality of my time on this spinning rock as it hurtles through space, towards a future that seems more uncertain every day. It’s unlike any other “social media platform” here.
Today, I celebrate the arbitrary milestone of five thousand followers, and I just wanted to say thank you.
Thank you for the favourites, the boosts, the follows, and the comments.
Thank you for your conversations, discussions, and corrections.
Thank you for listening to my music and sharing your thoughts on it with me, and for following along on your chosen streaming service. This has been amazing.
But, above all, I’d like to thank you all for making Mastodon the friendly and welcoming place that it is. My experience here is one of wonderful acceptance, and it has been truly humbling. There is nowhere else quite like it.
Massive big huge love to you all,
- Jon (Dgar)
We are actively monitoring your Thunderbird feature suggestions at Mozilla Connect, but “voting up” ideas from the community is crucial.

But before he discovered the awesomeness of #OpenSource, he had to learn a hard life lesson about pricey, proprietary software...

A _very_ interesting and thorough report on toxicity in #OpenSource communities on #GitHub, including a few suggested avenues for improvements.

Somewhat agree, strongly disagree with many conclusions.
Single-tenant #instances are a ruthless attack on our planet.
#Mastodon is conceptually flawed with topical communities expressing themselves mainly via a local #timeline. Lists: poorly implemented. Federated #groups: a.gup.pe hacks
Look at the self-descriptions of any instance focused on a large #community, and ask yourself who could afford to *not* register at the *one* place where the *action* is.

In #389 it was reported that text editors were not accessible yet. Given that such a central piece of the software it not accessible by screen readers (and spell checkers for the matter) yet, it's very likely that there are other UI roadblocks, too.Codeberg.org

An open letter to distributions publishing Bottles unofficiallyusebottles.com
📢 📢 📢 Today we publish an Open Letter from developers to the #Linux #community regarding shipping unfinished patches to users.
Shipping unfinished patches harms the user experience and slows down the review process in #FOSS projects to improve the patches.

I thought it would be a cool idea to create a #lemmy #community for #fediverse/ #federation #introductions!
Problem with introduction posts is they tend to get buried after a short while and depending on how many other instances yours may know about others someone's intro may not federate that well (or fast) with the rest of the network.
Plus, some instances like #mastodon only allow 500 characters in a post. Not a lot of room to write an introduction. 🙂
This was one of the use cases and goals I had for creating federated.community to kind of provide an alternative.
Anyway, to kick things off I've posted my own introduction and you're more than welcome to post one as well.
I also thought it would be cool to allow instance admins to post an "introduction" about their Instances too, so new users to the fediverse could find a little more information out about people's instances too.
Thoughts? Is this a good idea? What do you think?
