Some of my old #FirefoxOS devices. From a time when the mobile landscape was much more exciting and people took gambles. A platform, that in its final unshipped version, was beautiful, useful and private.

It is still my favorite system, the one that put the #Web in my pocket, that never leaked or spied on me, that unleashed the power of Add-ons into third-party applications. Infinitely customizable and humane. I miss it a lot.

Time for a 2.10.4 release of @GIMP !

@Wimpress Loved the latest . On the gaming front, I've been getting back into myself (great CTF mode). Do you think it could be worth snapping?

Admittedly it is in a lot of distro's native repos, so I don't know how much it might be worth doing.

Sadly quitter.no will shut down on 5th of September. So we have to move on.

@ChrisWere hey, thanks for suggesting Posteo! I just signed up! I had never heard of it before, but it is just the option I was looking for!

BREAKING: In a huge victory, the European Parliament has voted 318-278 against #Article13 and #Article11—the disastrous #CensorshipMachine and #LinkTax copyright proposals.

That means we’re close to stopping these terrible proposals—and we’re gaining momentum.

@ChrisWere @pinafore then you will also like @halcyon. It's a single column front end like the Twitter UI. Halycon server: itter.photog.social/

Turn my back for 5 minutes and #flathub litterally becomes an awesome repository of up to date software.

UK's #NHS (National Health Service) is 70 years old today (2018-07-05)..

OK its not perfect and is subject to the whims of whatever govt is elected, but remains one of the better national healthcare systems of the world, is flexible enough to work constructively in a mixed public/private healthcare system (most European countries are like this, not 100% nationalised) - and lots of people in the UK are 70 and over today *because* it is available to all..

Happy 4th of July my American friends!

I've been trying out Pinafore.social today. It's an alternative front end for Mastodon that works with any instance. It's absolutely fantastic if you're looking for a simpler Mastodon UI. Thank you @pinafore for all the great work.
