love that there are literally 0 local options left in terms of establishments/areas where it'd be appropriate for me to go sit and read/write for an hour or two, yet at least two 24-hour gyms, were I to suddenly to feel like working out.

which reminds me! why not watch the universally-regarded *worst* Honk episode of all time. bit.ly/honkimapala

at least so far...

Telegram's "Mini Apps" are by FAR the least sensical, clunky feature I've ever seen them implement. the contrast with everything else is... wow.

well shucks! this seems to:
1. Be very timely (as in, the time-dependent statements are very true.)
2. Be actively affecting driver behavior. (Too tired to elaborate rn but I am sitting and watching drivers/semis take this route with no other explanation in great congestion... which is why I pulled over lol.)

Is there any reason to have multi-page articles other than increasing the number of ads served?

Hot take: The "Linux community" has too many assholes and too many more people defending them

@peertube spreading OpenAI/Microsoft software usage in libre software is a very bad move IMHO. Your historic links with @Framasoft should remind you technological choices like this are not neutral. Do you endorse OpenAI way to build #whisper?
Integrating whisper in peertube is like selling organic avocados from 20000km away in an organic store.

@peertube Pretty useful things. I'm not a big fan of AI but if it runs locally on instances it's kinda ok, it's actually a good usecase.

Nice too see PT improve, there are only 2 features I still miss:
1. comment reactions (like, dislike, heart)
2. Markdown support in video descriptions (I know other Fediverse platforms probably couldn't handle this well, so it wouldn't be too practical)

@fediversereport @LaurensHof Hi, I think there is a mistake in your article: AFAICS, Heise's post (which originates on social.heise.de/@mho/112790004 BTW :-) does NOT show " how Bluesky has surpassed Mastodon in clicks".

Instead, as noted in the comments on that thread, their graph paints both Facebook and Bluesky in confusingly similar shades of blue, making it easy to mistake one for the other.

OP also goes on to say "Bluesky is constantly behind Threads, despite us sharing all links on Bluesky".

We’re growing our product team!

Are you an #iOS Developer who wants to lead our official #Mastodon iOS #App?

This is a remote full-time position and requires an overlap with the CET timezone.

Ideally:

1. You are a senior iOS Developer comfortable with a mature codebase
2. Proficient in #Swift and #Apple Frameworks (UIKit, SwiftUI, Combine)
3. Prior experience with social media networks is a big plus!

@MastodonEngineering looks interesting, but I (and my of my friends I would recommend) unfortunately fall outside of the 4-hour window for CET

@MastodonEngineering At least you're using Swift and Apple Frameworks on iOS... You should use Kotlin and Google libraries on Android as well.

Is there a way to apply without providing data to a corporation with inacceptable ToS? (In this case, Google).
