@andybalaam they’re pretty neato, but favour small fingers and keen eyes. Pixels very smol. Also Linux on them can be frustrating at times.

Random idea for a Mastodon tool you never realised you needed:

You've clicked on a user and you want to check out their timeline and it's 90% boosts and 10% of their own toots. So you click the magic *hide boosts* button under their profile menu and bam, now you can see what they actually have to say when they aren't supporting everyone else.

Finally this happened!

#Friendica 2019.01 release now officially supports #activitypub out of the gate.

https://github.com/friendica/friendica/releases/tag/2019.01

From their #changelong:

''The AP functionality was tested with Hubzilla, #Mastodon, #NextcloudSocial, #Osada, #PeerTube, with #Pixelfed and #Pleroma.''

Another bunch of users to interact with... a more viable alternative to FB and #Diaspora, because #activitypub (and #zot) is the future of decentralised social net.

Thank you guys,

If you looked through all my toots you might be able to figure out what I'm actually working on, but I figure I ought to actually state it.
Currently I have three projects, but the only one I've worked on recently is a marble game similar to Marble Blast. I kinda don't have a plan for it right now other than "make the camera not be inside the ball all the time"
Here's a screenshot of how it currently looks. Dan is now the ball instead of the floor. How the tables have turned...

It's possible we will live stream an episode on 2019-01-28 20:00 UTC - watch this space for details (if we manage it).

Misty forest done, now there's only the tower left

Just discovered this article about the band called Lorenzo's Music which is a #opensource and #creativecommons band that decided as a challenge to create their album using only open source with the OS @ubuntustudio

Pretty great stuff. Here is the article: https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2018/09/25/open-source-challenge-why-one-band-chose-linux-to-record-their-new-album/#3b6c23184439

I've also decided to mirror these guys on share.tube so that we can have their creative commons stuff on #peertube too. @lorenzosmirror

Still very simple but in time it will be much more developed and I'm getting help from a friend designing the page.
