In honor of trans day of visibility, I'm posting this pride flag that was created by NASA, but recently deleted from their website: https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14627.

A progress pride flag collaged from various NASA images.

Remember...

poster that says the post office is a service not a business! just like the fire departments. when they say it needs to turn a profit, tell them to go fuck themselves. And it has Mr. Zip, the USPS mascot character dude

@debian The BSP (Bug Squashing Party) is happening in tomorrow! I'll be there for and will work to *FIND* as many release critical bugs as possible :p

My mom accidentally referred to cryptocurrency as “kleptocurrency” this morning and I think I’m going to call it that from now on! 🤑

@catzilla I don't know micro.blog, but here is a site that offers Canadian alternatives to well known services created by @Taffer Maybe you will find something there. https://codeberg.org/Taffer/canadian-alternatives

I couldn't find an existing list of Canadian alternatives to American Internet services, so I've started one:

https://codeberg.org/Taffer/canadian-alternatives

Please spread far and wide, and let me know if you have any updates for the page!

@idnorton What about a CAD programme?

I've been largely absent from the Fediverse for months. I adopted a 1yo Border Collie in late March and have been learning to live with him since. He has a wonderful temperment and is sharp as a tack. You'd never know he was a rescue.

Shout out to Catherine, Canine Behaviour Specialist at https://www.lemedailledor.com/ here. She helped me work with Bijou and gave a written evaluation of him and step-by-step reminders of what we'd practiced. Bijou loved her. It was magic. #1 🤩

@Monal @olbohlen @olbohlen Nice! I'm not a Monal user myself, but I have Monal users on my XMPP server so I'm very happy that Monal devs have h/w to test with. Thanks!

@xmpp Very useful! thank you

@alienghic Thanks again!

@alienghic @xmpp Thanks. Psi looks interesting. I'd forgotten about Pidgin. Do you know of any old-timey clients for mobile (iOS, Android)?

@xmpp I've had an ejabberd server for a few months now. A handful of friends and family are connecting with a variey of clients. Through this experience something has struck me. The protocol has existed for sometime, but the clients seem to be in their early stages of dev, some more so than others. Where are the apps that have been around for as long as the protocol? Did only yooyle make an app?
