I’m the spirit of sharing quality content, please enjoy my favorite meme of all time.

My column about apps on Mastodon appears in print today. From what I'm told, it did very well on the web after publishing on Friday. It got MANY boosts and Favorites here on Mastodon, so I assume that's where a lot of traffic came from. It'll be very interesting to see what kind of print-reader feedback I get via email.

This is a gift link to the story, so it should get at least some of you past the paywall if you don't have a subscription. If not, use archive.ph.

I've had the idea for a weird kind of Twitter client for years. With Mastodon being all open, I've decided to do the experiment:

What if your Timeline looked like iMessage. A normal timeline confuses me to no end because everything is out of context.

My experiment, Ebou, is a Mastodon client that looks like iMessage. Conversations are grouped by friends and sorted by recent postings.

It is super basic right now, but this already feels much more natural to me 😀

“"In Germany, teaching the Holocaust is mandatory. It includes visits to concentration camp, museums, etc. They don’t shy away from their own ugly history. Yet the kids aren’t damaged; they’re strengthened, matured, humbled. US needs to do same re slavery. Not that complicated.”

@funkatron we're not hiring at the moment but I would recommend these two more niche job sites:

https://peoplefirstjobs.com/
https://4dayweek.io/remote-jobs/engineering?location=north-america

The jobs channel on the Rands Leadership Slack is also pretty hoping with staff-level roles

The only reason we're able to hire more folks is because of your support. Mastodon is a non-profit supported entirely by crowdfunding. If you like what we're doing or the servers we provide, consider supporting us on Patreon:

By way of #introduction: I’m the Chief Architect of the Java Platform Group at Oracle. I’ve worked on every #Java / #JDK release since version 1.1, in 1997. You can blame me for character-stream readers/writers, reference objects, shutdown hooks, the NIO high-performance I/O APIs, service loaders, and modules. I currently lead the #Leyden and JDK Projects in the #OpenJDK Community, where I also serve on the Governing Board.

I’m also a Twitter refugee, now exploring the Fediverse via @ivory.

How would we know that Twitter has become a ghost town?

I think it’s happening already, and we know because Elon accidentally told us.
