Really enjoying this new world of the Fediverse, open standards, and the resulting ecosystem of apps!
Tweetbot was Twitter for me back in the day. And now it's the same with Ivory and Mastodon, and Reeder and Bluesky.
Been having lots of fun with Tapestry since its release yesterday. Tho it will be hard to fully make the move until there is an accompanying macOS app.

Hey folks! I'd love to know what browsers you use and why? 😊

I know you answer this back in 2017 on episode 243, but feels like a bit has changed in the browser space and there has been a bit more action in recent years.

So, this has been in the works for a while, arguably most of last year. I intend to transfer my personal ownership of the Mastodon trademarks and assets, incl. copyright over my code, to the Mastodon non-profit, and transition to a different role at the organization.

So good to see these sorts of apps emerge that bring different, more open social networks together. For me, the Twitter experience collapsed when third party apps were shut out. Tweetbot was Twitter for me, and without it, it simply wasn’t an experience I was interested in.
A more open social web is very alluring. flipboard.social/@surf/1136748

@Iconfactory Hey! 👋 I'm a Wool backer of Tapestry! Just wondering how things are progressing towards that “Dec 2024 Estimated Delivery”? 😄 Heard reference to Tapestry on a podcast recently and got me excited again about getting hold of it 😊

What a moment.

The WWII Veteran is introduced to Canadian PM Trudeau, and Trudeau introduces President Zelensky.

The Veteran immediately takes off his hat and exclaims “You're the Saviour of the People!!”.

Zelensky says, “no no, you saved Europe”.

“My hero", the veteran says, “I'll pray for you”.

Zelensky seems humbled (as he should).

Two men, saving Europe from tyranny, death, and destruction, at opposite ends of a lifetime.
