Calling out to the Mastodon community again: famous @fdroidorg Repomaker is looking for a new maintainer (and contributors). Should be familiar with F-Droid, Python, Django.
Please help keeping it alive!
Volunteers go to https://gitlab.com/fdroid/repomaker/issues/234 – others please boost, as usual 😉 Thanks!

Holy smokes.
LibreOffice runs on the Librem 5!
AND IT WORKS.
Saving files, opening files, typing... the UI is a bit cramped (it's a desktop app on a phone)... but hot-diggity! It works!
Does anyone know of a large repository of scientific papers released under a creative commons license?

@aidalgol @moritzheiber They've just announced they'll take more money https://www.meetup.com/lp/paymentchanges
This is a true coincidence, because today is also the 1st beta release of #Mobilizon https://framablog.org/2019/10/15/mobilizon-lifting-the-veil-on-the-beta-release/
So let's thank MeetUp for giving us even more reasons to free our events from their walled garden 
!
If only tusky would be able to play peertube videos inside the app, that would make it the perfect fediverse client.
Birthday party today, time to get out of bed and practice smiling in the mirror for a bit.
According to someone, apparently the librem 5 is "literally a slower raspberry pi, literally". Sometimes you'd wonder why people sell toasters while led bulbs give more light while coasting less.

for people who want the link to @gbryant video on the #librem5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1haFGa7ZyPs
Amazing view of the device. it looks great already! ^^
Wow the first #librem5 unboxing video looks great! It's not even as bad performance wise as i thought it would be. Pity no one gets to see the camera quality yet, but as with everything, it will all improve over time.
If only I finally got that modem selection email 😁
Bleh, another sleepless night -.- getting so tired and today's a big day at work. Not helping :(
Over a full week with only a single night of real sleep, I'm exhausted :(

if you say you adhere to the unix philosophy but use two in one shampoo you're a fake
Thinking about it, it seems weird to me using javascript to make common interface elements perform a task, like a button click.
Why would someone want the same technology that makes people run cryptominers in YOUR browser, be used to perform any functions on a website at all?
Seems like it should only be used in the rarest occasion. Who cares if changing the filters of a search field requires an extra button press and a page refresh?
Cool, #matrix.org back up and running for me ^^
Looks like a pretty serious #matrix outage going on right now. Matrix.org has been down for a while now :o

Tweaker showt een prototype van de PinePhone https://tweakers.net/geek/158184/tweaker-showt-een-prototype-van-de-pinephone.html #tweakers #.Geek-:Tabletsentelefoons/Smartphones
alright, today I had a great session trying to learn #rust. It was a simple text based hangman game, but I tried to make some idiomatic rust code to solve it. It came out fairly well, but I have been informed that there is some room for improvement. Another day tomorrow!
