I never would have anticipated that @pixelfed would have grown to what it is today.

This shoutout from Cambodia made me tear up, I'm so happy that I can make a difference in the fediverse!

Tutorial: Build a simple chat app with Site.js

I want to take you step-by-step through building and running a basic chat app using Site.js. It’s much easier than you think, so fire up a terminal window, grab your code editor, and let’s get started!

Natron

This is just a thought but I think I will learn Natron!
I think with #Natron I can fill my motion graphics needs quicker than with #Blender. The good news is that it is packed in #PopOS directly by #System76.
Let me see if I can achieve quickly what I usually do with another well known closed software...
For the ones that don't know Natron, check the website out to see how cool it is:

#Sengi 0.18.0 is out! 🎉

It's a minor version to fix things! Firefox users should now have a nice experience, auto-completion should behave more resiliently, etc.

Also, there is some work done to support properly #Pixelfed accounts. There is still some APIs missing so it wont be fully functional, but feel free to test it if you're a bit adventurous!

SECURITY! #Pleroma and #Pixelfed are doing things the right way, and #Sengi is now renewing access_tokens for those providers.

#Sengi 0.18.1 is out!
It's a patch to support bidirectional text (huge thanks to @ahangarha for this one!), fix auto-suggest when emoji are present, and fix the GoToTop functionality on #Firefox that was still broken in some cases...

#client #app #dev

We are happy to announce we have a new sponsor!

Free/Open Source software (FOSS) is getting a boost from the #Trump regime’s policies, not only in #China but also in Latin America

I feel like this sounds like a very good idea for Mastodon to implement

Nice article for scientists out there:
