Happy Wednesday, Funkwhalers!
We're currently auditing the #Funkwhale documentation and looking for spots that need updating, clarification, etc. to make it easier for people to contribute.
If anyone here would like to help look through https://docs.funkwhale.audio and/or https://contribute.funkwhale.audio and give us some feedback, that would be very appreciated!

Dear young people of the UK,
Old people ruined your lives with their idiotic right-wing views and bigotry towards things they don't understand. That much is true. But we are the ones spreading the virus by insisting on breaking the rules.
Don't be thick, don't get people sick.

This little guy is coming to live with me this weekend
It's been over 6 years since I left Hong Kong.
Oof.
Photos of a spider
European giant house spiders are my least favourite thing to find indoors, but they look nice when moved to the garden.
Literally any git forge would be better than Bitbucket.
I have to teach three people how to develop using git.
Great!
I'm not allowed to teach them using git-send-email, I have to use Bitbucket.
Fuck!

The new scrobbler funkwhale plugin works great, I'm quite happy with it!
I've redesigned the internals to use the API v2 of last.fm which is more reliable than their deprecated v1
CFO has officially informed the business of my move to integrations development. The clock is now ticking for them to back fill my position (which they should have done 8 months ago)

Funkwhale 1.0 - scrobbler plugin
With the new plugin system, we'be bundled our first plugin, which allows you to scrobble to Last.fm and other compatible implementations (such as Listenbrainz).
Once the plugin is activated on the server (via the FUNKWHALE_PLUGINS=funkwhale_api.contrib.scrobbler env var), you can visit your user settings, click "Manage plugins" et voilà!

PSA: forums are down
The latest upgrade of our forum at https://governance.funkwhale.audio/ broke the whole installation.
We have opened an issue on the Loomio repository, but it could take a while before this is resolved, so don't hesitate to ping us here or on Matrix

I think I'm in love.

Having not used GNOME for quite a while I've recently re-installed Fedora to give the latest release a go. What a glow-up! Everything is butter.
Email is ubiquitous and undoubtedly the single best communication system we have right now, but I still like receiving the #fsfbulletin in the mail.
One thing that GNOME Web has over Firefox: Turning reader mode on in GNOME Web doesn't completely break pulseaudio, whereas in FF you can expect crackling audio for quite a while.
This is probably pulseaudio's fault but eh 🤷
