Apparently unlike the leader of another social media network, I have never turned off satellites to thwart the military operations of one of my country’s allies in their attempt to defend themselves against an aggressor.

@jerry This may be an explanation why you're not a billionaire.

But not-being-a-billionaire can definitely be a laudable goal.

is actually turning into quite the interesting phenomenon, almost like the social media version of Doom. It's fascinating to see how people are pushing the boundaries and making it work on all sorts of devices!

Just recently, there's been a Mastodon client developed specifically for Apple II, and surprisingly, it's quite impressive. Almost all the features you'd expect on Mastodon are there; from viewing timelines and receiving notifications to even creating content warnings. The only things missing at the moment are bookmarks and polls, but I have a feeling they'll be added in no time. It's genuinely an impressive endeavor!

Who knows what will come next? I'm personally excited to see if someone manages to make Mastodon work on a Texas Instruments Ti-99/4A Ti-84 calculator. Now that would be something truly remarkable! 😉

@arcadeshopper @atomicpoet @llamasoft_ox @fediversenews Wow, sounds really cool! Unfortunately, someone™ got rid of my TI 99/4A many years ago… 😵‍💫

Several years in the making, GitLab is now very actively implementing ! 🙌

https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/11247

The end-goal is to support AP for merge requests (aka pull requests), meaning git.alice.dev can send an MR to gitlab.com/Bob/project.git

First bite-sized todo on the implementation path there is ‘subscribe to project releases’.

Smart move by GitLab; through ActivityPub they’re getting a distributed version of GitHub’s social layer.

@erlend @fediversenews It's great to see this move!

essentially has solved the distributed software development problem (at least the technical parts).

However, it has always bothered me that there is no generalization to distributed feedback in the form of issues and merge requests.

Several years ago, we've been playing with design ideas to have the issues also in git, but did like neither the models available then nor our own ideas. Finally a path forward! https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/11247
