@nolan Also you can use GNOME Web (a.k.a. Epiphany) and just use “Install Site as Web Application…” from the menu. Works like a charm, and the app does not even need to be a PWA, nor be sanctioned by any big company to be turned into a self-contained application, with its own page cache, browser history, cookie jar, local storage, and so on
I've now open sourced Mast! So you can see exactly how the app was made. Woo! 🎉❄️

Whenever someone uses the phrase “I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again”, this is what my brain is doing for the next 5 minutes: https://youtu.be/8VyaShl6urc

I was trying to get Steam Linux to do hardware video encoding on my Radeon, but the Radeon turns out to be old enough not to have any hardware video encoding. Derp. 🤓
I fed over 8,000 CNN Business headlines to a neural net to see which new headlines it would predict.
For some reason, it predicted companies behaving rather badly.

Semi frequent reminder that if your shutting down your instance I’ll take it over for free (or even pay you a nominal fee). I want to keep as many independent fediverse communities as possible. #mastoadmin
@tootapp I really like the little directional arrows in the ‘show more’ timeline break. And the instance switcher. And how the instance switcher remembers that I was on Home on instance A but Local Timeline on instance B. And what about that sick conversation branch display!
The UI in @tootapp is some sort of witchcraft, really amazing. It looks beautiful, it’s playful, but not obnoxious, and it gets so many little details right. Not just right right, like, better-than-iOS-Twitter right! 😯
I like building things for the web! Hope that's okay. (he/him)
