Making lots of progress on converting lemmy's UI to an isomorphic one this week, which will allow non-js clients, preview thumbnails, and archivability.

This is wonderfully supported in ActivityPub [the protocol].
This is what the "nameMap", "summaryMap" and "contentMap" properties where made for:

Redaktor here, we will support it, I can't say what will be published when, only that I'm working hard ;)

I would also love to see other clients supporting it.
Respecting that the Internet has more languages than english.

There's a new version for littr.me, the minimalist link aggregator and fedbox, the generic #activitypub service.

This one is mostly about dockerization and having an easy way to deploy everything.

I'm looking to upload a number of videos to a Peertube instance, especially some about Spritely. Eventually I might host my own thing but right now I'm overloaded.

Not sure really which to join; Fidonet's looks like it might be nice?

Why is it that the "frightening AI" news stories these days seem to be about AI that's frighteningly bad, rather than AI that's frighteningly good?

The new MomentUI is almost ready! 🥳 #pixelfed #pixeldev #MomentUI

WYSIWYG editor https://matt.writefreely.dev/wysiwyg-editor

I kind of want a way to share 10-15 sec looping videos without quality loss right from iOS. I don't want any social features, nothing, just something that would allow me to send an impression of a moment to a friend...

Hey, tooters, been a long time.

I've seen a lot of activity around mastodon.el recently. I've been unable to keep up with it and would like to know if you're interested in contributing.

"Just because there is now a multi-billion-dollar industry based on the abject betrayal of our privacy doesn’t mean the sociopaths who built it have any right whatsoever to continue getting away with it"

Great post!

Got my first salary since I joined @plausible as a co-founder. I can now say that I'm paying my rent with an open source project. Feels good and hopefully we can continue the progress.

Anyone familiar with #mollie as a EU-based payment processor, and possible alternative to #stripe?

The Social Dilemma is a great documentary. Will hopefully spread awareness about the issues with social media and surveillance capitalism.

Too bad that the official site has an illegal GDPR implementation with a dark pattern to accept Google tracking.
