#NowPlaying early 1970s #progrock & its sub-genres... Classic #typography of the period, from the unique and ornate to the stylistically absent, most suggesting an 'otherness', whether it be in historical time, from another culture, or from another world or universe entirely.

I've seen more than 1 person confuse OpenOffice with OnlyOffice, I'm not a fan myself but OnlyOffice is being actively supported and developed, OpenOffice is not

My employer, Shopify, announced layoffs today and I've been affected. If you're looking for someone with deep experience with developer tooling and developer environments, I'd love to work with you. I've spent the last two years building Shopify's in-house cloud developer environment, and I have extensive experience building developer tools as one of members of the Homebrew package manager's Project Leadership Committee.

If Mastodon users don't know about the Fediverse, they don't know why the messages they receive look wonky sometimes.

"Why is this guy allowed to post with more than 500 characters?" they often wonder.

"Why are there links in this post? Why can't I see things that other people can?" they'll ask.

And then they realize, "Hey, that guy can quote post! I thought Mastodon didn't allow that! How is that possible?"

Well, yeah, because those deviations require the context of the Fediverse.

Last year we announced we would be joining Mastodon to explore an alternative to today's social media. 



We’re excited to announce we’re expanding Mozilla.social to a private beta, with hopes to open to the public soon.

This is just the beginning. Read more about the launch of our instance, including how to join the public waitlist. blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/mo

@Nour @Mr_Teatime @laurenshof @aral Do share the massive variety of email providers.

1. Embrace. Use the email standards such as SMTP to talk to other email servers.
2. Extend. Encourage all email users to use your service by making it the default and positioning yourself as "the server" via applications and partnerships, eventually adding features that are limited to your mail interface.
3. Extinguish. Say that all other mail servers that aren't yours are spam and block them.

If you don't see how this could happen on the Fediverse today then I don't know what to tell you.

Just seen this year's Office of Astronomy for Development (OAD) call:

OAD invites applications for projects that use astronomy to make an impact on sustainable development. The OAD call for proposals is open to anyone from anywhere in the world. Applicants who lack training or experience in writing proposals can request Proposal Writing support. Translation of the call and the documents can be arranged:

I get crypto #spam tagged on #Twitter once every other day. I report it every time and have to manually block them every time. It doesn’t get better.

I’ve gotten one crypto spam tag on #Mastodon this morning, and it was already removed before I clicked the notification.

Having real people that care running your community makes a difference. Thanks for holding it down @Gargron and team! 🙏

Infuriating! They really can't tell good from bad, common from masterwork. To them, a slip-cast lawn gnome is on the same level as a signed and dated Picasso print.

The Scottish Government said it is “absolutely committed” to resisting NHS privatisation after a Ferret investigation into private healthcare led to more than 1,000 people signing an open letter to the health secretary.
