Where do people go from Twitter

I know I am, literally, preaching to the converted here, but heard a BBC radio journalist this lunchtime saying how sad she was that Twitter was going downhill and she would have to switch to Instagram, i.e leave the domain of Lord Musk, for Lord Zuckenberg. No thought of the Fediverse. Some people are determined to live in a Feudal Internet.

@proycon Yup! Thats one of the reasons I bought it. I cant wait to install postmarketos, use kicad, use openscad, and everything! The kernel code is being merged upstream quickly.


It's the year of the Linux handheld!

@omlet Yes! You can use Sxmo on the desktop and have really nice bluetooth, wifi, etc. menus.

We have a desktop device profile you can use.

Just ordered a steam deck!

#Sxmo 1.12.0 has just been released! My favorite features:

- better support for oneplus 6, poco f1, pinephone pro, and devices with an unknown profile. This should make porting new devices easier.
- modem scripts recover from failure better and handle more edge cases
- three finger gestures

and a lot of minor bug fixes. Thank you to everyone that contributed and tested this release. We couldn't have done it without you!

@djamilaknopf These are beautiful! I will have to buy prints when I move out. Please post when the calendar is in stock. Welcome!!!

@atommac I use openwrt. It is easy to install and use. I think wolfgang made a video about cheap router hardware to use with openwrt.

@scanlime Hey! I just want to thank you for maintaining diode.zone. I host my videos about free software there and Ive found the moderation to be great.


I really appreciate diode.zone

re: Mastodon / Twitter meta
@dougall Hey! Thats a really positive way to look at the fediverse and I hope you stay. Thanks for giving this a shot!

@proycon damn, im flying out for my convocation but im more excited to try this out.

@brecht I didnt realize that! I guess ya, Sxmo is a good gateway to contributing to the wider #Sxmo ecosystem. I hope it welcomes others to contribute to other FOSS projects too!

@brecht Thanks! We have a big community of contributors now. Glad you enjoy it!

Some things I might post about:

- Economic history and political economy ( )
- Classical Chinese philosophy and my struggle with the Chinese language in general ( )
- Open source software and my self-inflicted struggles with Linux-on-Mobile ( )
- Other stuff, probably

@brecht Hey! Welcome back. Ive stayed on fedi cause of the amazing foss projects Ive discovered on it. The influx of new users is exciting and I hope to see alot more humanities content on here. Thanks for giving it a shot and have fun!

@captainepoch Ya, I agree. Lets hope we are proven wrong =P

@captainepoch Ya, all manual. I guess you could write some aliases to automate some of the chained commands.

I hope git send-email gets a really good ui in sourcehut so most projects can just switch without any friction. Seeing a bunch of old remotes that have never been updated....it's all just noise on github.

@captainepoch I usually add a remote called upstream with the upstream repo and the origin remote is my fork. When/If I contribute again, I just do a git pull origin master/main before branching my change.

@soller @system76 @pop_os_official Hi! Welcome to the fediverse. I have found so many cool FOSS projects here. Excited to see you here!

Just played the new #rimworld biotech expansion with the multiplayer mod that was just updated: https://rimworldmultiplayer.com/post/22_11_06_14andbiotech/


It's so good! The multiplayer mod and rimworld devs did an amazing job.
