Just like #disroot.org or #librem.one #poddery.com is hosting a group of decentralised services ( #diaspora , #matrix, #xmpp ) using free software at its core.
It is run by a community with same ideals of freedom and privacy that many of you here share. ( You can read more details at https://fund.poddery.com )
Please consider supporting poddery.com @ https://igg.me/at/fund-poddery-com to maintain and upgrade this instance as one alternative to centralized services like Facebook, WhatsApp or Google Chat.

You are often asked to report all the bugs you may find, but writing a detailed report can be overwhelming. In this video, Pablo goes through the best practices to make reporting (and fixing) bugs a breeze.
Spoiler alert: That bug is already fixed 🐞 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTD0OJq_rF4 #b3d

Ton Roosendaal (Blender foundation Chair and original creator) won John Peddle Research award for Technology Advancement.
"Over the years we’ve gone from skeptical indulgence to open admiration as we’ve come to understand how someone, with a true commitment to cooperation, collaboration, and respect for the work of others, can build a thriving organization around free software and open project development." - A quote from the JPR press release ( https://www.jonpeddie.com/press-releases/ton-roosendaal-wins-the-jpr-technology-advancement-award )

HEY. @Tusky is excellent. As of me writing this post, their Open Collective balance stands at $1592.59.
If people can get $200 more dollars in the till (that's $1792.59) by the end of the day tomorrow (36 hours for me, give or take a few), I'll match it with $200 dollars of my own.
I also challenge other folks in tech with a little money to throw around to match my match, even partially.
