RT @t_grote@twitter.com: Don't buy a Huawei phone as the company will stop providing bootloader unlocking for all new devices - xda-developers.com/huawei-stop #FreeYourAndroid

@gwmngilfen Hi Greg quick question or advice rather about 3d printing the hestia pi case what material is it printed in PLA or ABS? I thinking of buying a 3d printer for this and other projects and I'm not clued up with filament used in most projects .

@lib_reviews is there a possibility of a lib reviews app in the pipeline ?

"Fennec F-Droid, which is F-Droid’s unbranded Firefox build, updated to v60, finally bringing all Firefox quantum improvements to android.

By the way, several people told us they find the icon ugly. Think you can do better? Here’s your chance! Send us a new design, and we might make it the official new Fennec F-Droid icon!" according to the latest TWiF @fdroidorg

Hi Sem is there something wrong with the search functionality on the instance ? I can't seem to search for anything on any client or the site .

So I just met one of the 3 (!) maintainers of F-Droid. They are desperately looking for more volunteers as they are responsible for 1500 repositories between them.

Hello fediverse! lib.reviews/ is a free/open/nonprofit alternative to proprietary review sites like #Goodreads, #Yelp, #IMDB.

It plugs into #opendata sources: #Wikidata, #OpenLibrary and #OpenStreetMap (OSM integration is very basic at this point). Still a long way to go but we have a small community and lots of reviews already. On GitHub at: github.com/eloquence/lib.revie - IRC: #lib.reviews on irc.freenode.net - Matrix: matrix.to/#/#lib.reviews:matri

Really, asking "what should replace Facebook" is putting things the wrong way around.

A more interesting way to ask the question is, "what did Facebook replace."

People used to build their own websites. People used to have blogs. People used USENET which was truly distributed and un-censorable.

Facebook and Google took the open internet and open standards and monetized and made everything crappy. Enough of that. Nothing should replace Facebook, it's done, stick a fork in it.

Looking forward to seeing 30 seconds to Mars

I've been working hard to get My sensors working well on openhab and I've finally got it displaying temperature and battery life with good signal range.
Today was a good day .

I think I'm a little hungover this morning .
