No more Marvel Spiderman movies because 2 billionaire asshole companies can't figure out how to split their billions lmfao

Some were asking whether there is a Fediverse alternative to Facebook Events/Groups.

There is one on the way!

It's called Mobilizon, and it had a successful crowdfunding to cover development costs. The beta version is due out in October.

It will be free, open and federate with ActivityPub.

You can follow it on here:

There is a new addon for GNU social to support ActivityPub that can be used. I have already some "GNU social (AP)" contacts in my contacts list.

When I'm telling that, "Please try to use free and open source software as much as you can", Usually people ask "Why?"

Do you guys have an answer? What will you say?

You can now follow accounts from other Pixelfed instances! 🎉 🚀

One of my very-long-term (thought of 2 years ago, ~5% actual progress made since) projects is a mechatronic exosuit puppet arm. It would have direct mechanical coupling for the shoulder, elbow and wrist joints, and servos for the fingers, with a matching ‘puppeteer glove’ to control them. But the primary goal is for the hand to have force feedback — you as puppeteer feel the pressure as applied to the robotic hand. #making

Here are my favourite photos of my lighting design for Psyche from my good camera! It was really fun but also glad it's over and I can unwind.
