Happy Birthday, Debian. 🎂 🎉 🎈
25 years old.

Ian Murdock announced #Debian on August 16th 1993. The first release, 0.01, was made the next month, on September 15th.

Congratulations & thanks to the Debian volunteers, past and present, for making it such a fantastic distro. Here's to the next 25 years.

How to stop #birdsite cross-posting retweets from showing up in #Mastodon:

1. Click on the three-vertical-dots icon (⋮) next to the posting entry box.

2. Select "Muted words" at the bottom.

3. Click the "Add new filter" button.

4. Type in "RT @"

5. Choose "Home timeline" (and whichever other timelines you want) and also "Whole word".

6. (Optional) Click "Drop instead of hide" to remove the tooted retweets instead of just hiding with the word "Filtered".

7. Save!

I need someone to draw simple flowers in vector graphics, ranging from completely dried/dead to healthy in 4-5 steps. I need black line art on blank background to better fit in the flat design of the app.

The fact this is for OSS doesn’t mean I want it for free. I have budget for the app, although not corporate sized.

The app is a water intake tracker/reminder. The flowers are to represent the hydration level of the user.

Boosts are also appreciated!

This is why it's dangerous to post about what's going on in your life.

so a new FLOSS photogrammetry software is about te be released (this week following the issues)

Meshroom : https://github.com/alicevision/meshroom

from AliceVision : https://alicevision.github.io/

on e-paper it looks very good both on the reconstruction methods and results _and_ on the GUI...

(I think I'll wait for the release before to try to compile, as the dependencies looks a bit heavy, I might loose too much time just to test this at first)
