There it is, the amount of progress I managed to do on my little creature drawing during Hack & Craft! I really enjoyed today, I look forward to doing this again :)

Ooooh! If you're a Python dev in Paris looking for important work in FOSS, please read @zacchiro's post in this thread! Or just go to: https://www.softwareheritage.org/jobs/

Software Heritage is one of the most important orgs we have in the FOSS'y space, and really super wonderful people there too!

Today I implemented a new Euler filter, to remove discontinuities from rotations. If you want to help test the new filter, please download an experimental #Blender build from https://developer.blender.org/D9602 and let me know how it works for you.

Georgia is having a runoff Jan 5 to decide who our 2 new senators will be. If those senators go blue Mitch McConnell will no longer be Senate Majority Leader. You have until December 7 to register to vote. Retweet to spread awareness even if you don’t live here.

Mastodon does not store passwords in plain text. This is trivial to confirm as Mastodon is an open-source project. We use the bcrypt algorithm for one-way hashing of passwords. I can't believe someone is spreading misinformation about something so trivial to debunk.

Welcome @bkurdali and Christoph Lendenfeld to the #Animation & #Rigging module!

#apconf2020 Q&A sessions from the two talks I was involved in:

Spritely and Federation Futures Q&A https://conf.tube/videos/watch/1e9197b1-be7c-40d1-9fc3-7059b45786cb

ActivityPub Authors/Editors Panel Q&A https://conf.tube/videos/watch/2cabb25c-0979-4ef6-beaf-f3d001ecbc4c

Between 2 and 2.5 years ago, depending on whether you look at https://medium.com/we-distribute/faces-of-the-federation-christopher-allan-webber-on-mediagoblin-and-activitypub-24bbe212867e or https://dustycloud.org/blog/spritely/ I announced the Spritely project. I hedgingly joked while asked to describe it that it's "well, vaporware, mostly".

With the upcoming release of Goblins and its support for real distributed programming (on a mutually suspicious network, even) we'll be approaching the point where it'll be fair to say that Spritely is very much so *not* vaporware, is demonstrably interesting

Me: "Don't worry, I can manage myself just fine"

BEEEEES! Well, one bee. In slow motion.

(My partner took this in our yard, while patiently waiting beside the lemon tree.)

Sorry.
