An interview with the creator of #pleroma, an alternative #fediverse server.
@pixebot@pynq.limited.systems hi!
Hey, look what I found, an interview with Lain! #pleroma
https://medium.com/we-distribute/blushy-crushy-fediverse-idol-a-chat-with-lain-about-pleroma-4ff578b99752
I wrote a guide for installing #mastodon and #pleroma on the #RaspberryPi3
https://github.com/wimvanderbauwhede/limited-systems/wiki/Mastodon-and-Pleroma-on-the-Raspberry-Pi-3
A little poll:
- how many #fediverse accounts do you have, and
- how many do you actively use?
It's day 3 of the 2017 #MastoCensus, and we have 484 responses so far.
If you haven't already taken the Census, you definitely should. It's only 10 questions long, so it's really quick.
Just look how excited the questions are to meet you!

Please boost this so we can get as many responses as possible.
One final plug for our free online course #Functional programming in #Haskell. I developed this together with my colleague. It's a 6-week course and it starts 18 September.

Open source command-line assistant: Betty
"Translates Plain English Into Commands." - https://github.com/pickhardt/betty
So that should be the parser interface Holy Grail, right? Like Siri, but in text. With free sources (Ruby, Apache license) and mature enough to use (development was going on in 2014-2016).
Hey Mastodon, what's your opinion on that?
If you'd like the learn #functional programming in #Haskell, our free online course is running from 18 September:

For me personally, the defining flower for the Japanese summer is the crape myrtle.

Also saw this great butterfly, thanks to the internet I learned that it's a "blue triangle" (青条揚羽).
And beautiful damselflies as well:
I took this picture of a waterlily in a temple pond this morning and only noticed the frog just now. https://octodon.social/media/B2mA4CIjM5KbzzWfXiM
