RT @DalaiLama@twitter.com: While many people consider sensory experience as the main source of happiness, really it is peace of mind. What destroys peace of mind is anger, hatred, anxiety and fear. Kindness counters this—and through appropriate education we can learn to tackle such emotions.

Oh man, die 11 überbezahlten Hampelmänner rennen 94 Minuten verwirrt durch die Gegend und schaffen in letzter Minute ihren 2. Zufallstreffer und nun werden die gefeiert, als hätten sie ein Heilmittel gegen AIDS und Welthunger gefunden…

is a decentralized federation protocol based on the W3C's , which extends 2.0. It provides a server to server API for pull request, forking and subscription of repositories provided by web services (services like , , , )... No code yet, but I like the idea! 🙂 github.com/git-federation/gitp

#PeerTube is free/libre software alternative to YouTube

-- federated (uses ActivityPub)
-- peer2peer streaming
-- currently in beta

non-profit @Framasoft is crowdfunding its development

kisskissbankbank.com/en/projec

this project is already usable (more than 50 instances)
and can be a game-changer.

Boost its development and give it more visibility.

I would like to announce a public server running #brutaldon: brutaldon.online/

Brutaldon is a brutalist, Web 1.0 web interface for Mastodon. You can use it as a client for any instance. Currently you do not need a separate brutaldon account. It is compatible with almost any web browser, including text-mode browsers like lynx, w3m, or eww.

Screenshots, issues tracker, and source code are available at github.com/jfmcbrayer/brutaldo.

Have fun!

Protip:

When designing a user interface, imagine some old woman using it, say Margaret Hamilton, and she's clicking your app's buttons and saying to you, as old people do,

"Young whippersnapper, when I was your age, I sent 24 people to the ACTUAL MOON with my software in 4K of RAM and here I am clicking your button and it takes ten seconds to load a 50 megabyte video ad and then it crashes

I'm not even ANGRY with you, I'm just disappointed."

What were you thinking, @NESCAFE@twitter.com ? I just bought the new "Gold Original" (seems to be rolled out in Germany now) and it doesn't taste anything like the "old" one. Looks like I have to find another favourite coffee.
