The Pixelfed forum will be launched with the mobile apps and feature a Mobile App Support category for support and to better organize feedback during the beta.

Best part is the forum supports ActivityPub, so you can reply to threads without having to register an account! (We'll open source the forum shortly after)

"Why Generation X will save the web" by Heather Burns https://webdevlaw.uk/2021/01/30/why-generation-x-will-save-the-web/

This is something that gnaws away at me. Gen Xers and older Millennials (like myself) are nostalgic for the old, untamed, pre-centralized internet. The younger generation has no memory of this.

First you need to understand the underlying mechanics of the story. Stock markets are fundamentally a way of making bets, including bets on the outcome of other peoples' bets, and bets on the outcomes of *those* bets.

A few @opensuse developers are starting web development sprints to enhance all the websites related to #openSUSE projects. Let the fun begin!!! https://news.opensuse.org/2021/01/28/web-development-sprints-to-start-next-week/

It's done! And drying. (And also way too long.)

Btw we're still having a great time in the #aFediverseChat room on #Matrix: https://app.element.io/#/room/#afediversechat:matrix.org 🎉

There have been interesting discussions about topics like #foss, #federation, #opensource, #phones, #OS, but also non-tech topics and just general hanging out. Anyone can join. ☺️

This is the year of #Matrix.
