When you cannot calmly read your timeline because you have nausea from seeing it in development

(You have it too from my toots I bet)

@mayel I want to hug everyone on SocialCoop because you are so cool and I kinda want to help but I'm pretty happy with my instance and I'm not sure I can take more responsibilities beyond Tusky and I'm terrible sysadmin so I can only wish you all good luck!

@jk @vertigo noone asked me but I guess you will have to get through similar shit but it may work better in the end. Depends on your hardware and distro a_lot (I didn't think it really matters much and I was wrong).
Source: using Linux as main OS for 8 years with some pauses. It's getting better but I broke everything few months ago again.

(Forgive me, why did I have to say that, it was useless, is it a disease or something)

Thanks to @technomancy we now have a separate workflow on Circle CI for building APKs!
The service itself is great, flexible and easy to set up. Debugging via ssh is a really great feature.

Can I emphasize one more time how cool Blokada is?
You don't know it but your phone is *full* of trackers. It's not better than the web. I thought that we don't have any tools to deal with it - after all, it's not a browser. But turns out there are!
Blokada works as a VPN but locally. It has a blacklist (which you can change) and it just blocks all connections to trackers or ads. It works wonderfully.

Of course Google wouldn't let it in the Play Store.

I feel bad that we as Tusky were not prepared to take new users. We basically have no onboarding flow because we've never expected people to join mastodon through us. People are used to do everything though the apps, though.

Decade of training people to search things through app stores has huge effect. That's going to be a problem for PWAs too.

That's a big problem for free software.

"...I've always lived cheaply. I live like a student, basically. And I like that, because it means that money is not telling me what to do. I can do what I think is important for me to do. It freed me to do what seemed worth doing. So make a real effort to avoid getting sucked into all the expensive lifestyle habits of typical Americans. Because if you do that, then people with the money will dictate what you do with your life. You won't be able to do what's really important to you."

Wow RMS

"These Pleroma peop.."

"These Mastodon pe.."

"People can be bad regardless of their server software"

"Okay, that's good"

I intend to learn the shit out of PureScript one day and wrote something cool with Hyper

https://github.com/owickstrom/hyper/blob/master/README.md

How can you resist a language which has .purs file extension and row polymorphism?

Fediverse folk!
Don't forget to boost interesting stuff.
The system relies solely on organic discovery.
We on small instances depend on boosts quite a lot!
