Love :tealheart: to read the weekly recap of what's happened in the #Libre #Graphics world. Thanks @prokoudine for this. http://libregraphicsworld.org/blog/entry/week-recap-28-january-2019

@kelbot Yeah, I was just thinking "okay, sewing people aren't so very technical, it would be nice if I could burn an SD card for a Pi that's already ready to go for their wifi network and ship them an already-assembled little critter." But the Micro Center is on the other side of Philly (an hour by train or car) so not something I can just run and pick one up anytime someone wants one. And those are in-store only so I can't even point them to it and say "get one yourself, then flash this image."

did anyone notice the underlined links? I thought that was a nice touch, so I stole it from @staticsafe

It is regrettable that I was only notified about this after the ID change already took place, because we could have clarified things and involved the Mastodon app devs, and have some say in the matter.

Now clarifying an already existing API of ours would be exclusionary towards Pleroma. If you heard about our documentation changing to specify IDs as 64 bit numbers yesterday, it has been changed again today afternoon to keep Pleroma compatible.

@nev I guess what I'm hung up on is the why and the how. Have you considered participating in the w3c social web incubator community group?

Today, two totally separate alternatives with near-identical names:

#LibreFM is an open source alternative to Last.fm, where you listen to creative commons music and "scrobble" your music habits:

https://libre.fm

Artists can add CC music to Libre.FM to reach a wider audience.

#LibroFM is a US/Canada audiobook subscription site which supports local bookstores:

https://libro.fm

Audiobooks are DRM-free and chosen by your nominated bookshop.

Now that #Vermont is back to single digits F, time to share my favorite ice-related infograpic.

It's nice to see linux on the rise. I've been using a dual boot setup for the last ten years or so and I suddenly realized that I haven't booted Windows since last June. Because of the rollout of Steam Play. Gaming was the last thing that kept me in using Windows from time to time.

Berne just about guarantees you *always* need a license.

It's just that FOSS licenses are so easy to deal with in comparison, especially for users all the way downstream who need only freedom 0 & so don't even need to worry about copyleft incompatibility.

@xmanmonk

I sometimes catch myself adding a sed component to a pipeline that already has awk in it from an earlier iteration in the shell history, and think "well, that's silly, sed can just do all of that".

See also, grep.

@cat

@MrRobinHood

to paraphrase William Gibson

"dystopia is here, it's just not evenly distributed"

anyone know of a good Pleroma instance for programmers/linux/gaming/whatever? I wanna check out the UI, then might consider hosting my own or finding a forever home
