sorry for the facebook quality meme but... like... it's not wrong

Prismo is an open federated alternative to sites like Reddit or Hacker News.

It's still under development, but the first instance is online here:

https://prismo.news

It's been in closed beta for a while, but Prismo now has open sign-ups for the first time.

You can sign up at:

I've released the initial version of Oferhlýp, a printable #CreativeCommons #abstract #strategy #boardgame, on Github. Please note that this is NOT software but it could be if someone had the time.

Just learned about #Pattle, a new #Android #Matrix client which behaves similar to many popular messaging apps like Telegram or Signal. A important step to mass adoption. https://git.pattle.im/pattle/android

If you're an avid open-source user who would love to help advance a project, there's a lot you can contribute whether you can program or not:

Provide constructive feedback, file bug reports, improve the documentation or help out maintaining the web & social media presence. Spread the word and recommend the projects you love to others (btw, I run Arch 😂)

Say "thank you" and tell developers to "keep up the great work". That form of contribution means a lot more than you could possibly imagine.

It’s the middle of the month, so about time to reinstall Windows 10.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY: Safari's Touch Bar video controls ignore whether fast forward/rewind are allowed in an HTML 5 video. Which means on a MacBook you can use it to skip forced ads on YouTube!

Many people use ad blockers to block ads from tracking us but we can do one better and prevent them all across any network in our control.

I'm so old my #outrage isn't so much the kind that leads me to read beyond clickbait but the kind that mourns that #medialiteracy is on life support and that #news has deteriorated to #clickbait and outrage culture.

Current status: what day is it?

If you use Chrome, stop reading this message and go make sure it's up to date. I'm dead serious: now. Not tomorrow, *now*. Previous versions have a security vulnerability that's being seen in the wild: https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2019/03/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html

You're still here reading! Stop. Update your Chrome. We'll be here when you're finished.

Go.
