SV, now disrupting: burglary!

FYI you can take a video in Snapchat, mute the sound (from within SC), then use the save -> save to camera roll feature to just have it as a plain mp4 file than can be uploaded to Mastodon. Video files without audio track play as GIFs on Mastodon.

the "free" in free software stands for freedom to eat pineapple pizza

For those who are fresh here: we're close to the release of Mastodon v2.0, I've been working really hard on getting that ready, currently in the "release candidate" phase, planned release around 17th

Bought tickets to Sweden 👀

Tell you hwhat, I think the focus of the next release after 2.0 is finally going to be groups, because I really feel we're missing that now

#Mastodon v2.0.0rc1, the first release candidate for 2.0, is out: https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/releases/tag/v2.0.0rc1

Please read the release notes for details! I put a lot of effort into making them structured and human-readable this time.

@gabriele @BryanLunduke @sillystring I'm fine with an echo chamber constituted by the lowest common denominator of a tolerant society

But also - why do you need me to be an agreeable figure for your right-leaning friends? I'm hardly a public person and have no influence over the network beyond my own mastodon.social. That's what I don't get.

@mcscx @BryanLunduke @sillystring Antifa is worth supporting - good on them, and good on Mozilla. I applaud their decision.

Folks we're gonna be upgrading mastodon.social to the (not yet released!!) 2.0.0rc1, there might be some intermittent downtime because the database migrations are massive for this one. Thank's

Just pledged a little bit to the @Purism Librem 5 phone. I don't think I can afford the actual thing but I want it to exist. And the goal is almost reached

I never actually added "gameplay" or "features" but if you have pico-8 the source is hackable so ... go hog wild?
