Thank you so much to the awesome people at @OpenInfraOrbit for organizing! You made speaking really comfortable :)

petition to rename "Atlas Shrugged" to "Atlas was like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"

Anyone need yet another downloading library for #nodejs? No? Well, i made one anyways, so you better find a way to be okay with that. https://www.npmjs.com/package/progressive-downloader

Featuring asynchronous parallel downloads, progress and speed callbacks, and checksum verification using different hashing algorithms, making it easy to skip unneeded downloads. Not a lot of fancy fluff otherwise, really only what i needed for the #UBportsInstaller.

Here's one #Firefox addon I did not regret installing: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/some-rich-asshole-enhanced/

In honor of the release of version 0.4.20-beta of the @ubports Installer, i kindly request you include your favorite weed joke in your bug reports. https://github.com/ubports/ubports-installer/releases/tag/0.4.20-beta

Been on a roll these last few days with small fixes to long-standing issues and implementing some things often requested by new porters. More to come, but for now this fixes some OEM-unlocking issues, improves detection, and adds a new fastboot:format step to the config format. Also migrated the #snap to the core20 base.

That's not to say that what twitter is doing isn't working for them, i find twitter much more addictive than mastodon. But it does bury a lot of stuff that's actually interesting, because "the algorithm" (tm) determined that other stuff would get more engagement.

It's interesting to see the difference in interaction between posts on twitter and mastodon. With twitters interest-determination fuckery, it just seems to not show some of my tweets to anyone while some others receive more attention. If i post the same stuff on mastodon, everything gets more or less the same attention.

It took me a while to warm up to the new GitHub notifications, but they're actually not half bad! Much better not to have stuff disappearing just because you opened and "read" it once is actually rather nice!

Some @ubports servers are apparently blocked by the great firewall. While we *could* implement a local workaround, I'd prefer to look at it as an upstream issue. So... Who do i talk to about overthrowing dictatorial regimes? Is the #CIA still accepting audience requests? /s

You gotta love an appropriately named piece of software:

ACRONYM: Acronym CReatiON for You and Me

https://arxiv.org/abs/1903.12180

Also, that last example acronym must really hit home with the target audience: "TENURE ThE loNg name of yoUr very fancy pRojEct"

How utterly fucked up does one have to be in the head to believe that being allowed to say racist shit without being criticized is #freedom, but leaving your war-torn country where you're literally tortured and killed for speaking your mind isn't.

Which stage of grief is passive-aggressive git commit messages?

Florian and me will be live tonight at the A13-Techshow to chat about #UbuntuTouch and @ubports
