I wonder if the early days of twitter felt like Mastodon does now
@annika love the domain

Super rough list of features I’d perhaps want to see in a hypothetical Mastodon client:

@carlosceb @tootapp currently in beta testing does this

After sleeping on it, I think #Mastodon should rename ‘instances’ to ‘Communities.’
Instances feels too technical and I see even savvy people struggling to understand it.
I argue communities would make much more sense. It denotes much of the purpose behind _why_ this service has different instances, and many people will already be familiar with the concept from Reddit (the, what, sixth most popular site on the net?).

@mattdkerr it's open source already just not pointing it out as it's still a work in progress https://github.com/wezm/WallFlower/tree/rust
Finally got my digital photo frame app running on a Raspberry Pi. It's written in #Rust and uses #OpenGL via parts of the Piston game framework.
I've also got a cross compilation worklow working that means I can compile the binary on my laptop and then just copy it over to the Pi.
Need to improve the performance a bit next.
Time for some Saturday morning reading #Rust https://mastodon.social/media/2-w0R-CjiBsl4cNmgQs

I'd like to piece together a 2nd gen AMD Ryzen desktop for #OpenBSD testing & hacking, and finally replace my aging Bulldozer system. Any help towards this would be greatly appreciated, even just recommendations. ☺️

This VSCode plugin is really nice (powered by the central Crates.io repository of #RustLang libraries). Sometimes a small UI thing makes everything feel clean (and promotes keeping up to date with dependencies). https://github.com/serayuzgur/crates
@bobstechsite gitea can run with sqlite, which seems pretty low maintenance. Nonetheless good work completing the migration.
