~ Quick Crowdsourced Fediverse Enhancement ~

Two small and easy tasks that you can do right now. If everyone did only one of them, it'd make everyone else's federated timelines and hashtag searches more excellent.

1) Go to the federated timeline right now, and scroll until you see something that makes you go "yay!" or "huh, interesting" or "cool". Boost it.

2) Post about something you love, post it 🌍​ Public, and tag it with three hashtags.

In the last seconds of Thursday 26th April, #ubuntu 18.04 is released :) Nice timing.

Congratulations, #ubuntu :). 18.04 LTS has been released: https://www.ubuntu.com/download . We celebrate this moment with a commemorative illustration. Thanks to everyone involved for your hard work. <3 #art #illustration

i forgot to mention on this instance...
my kitties @autumn and @book have their own accounts on birb.site now.
your pets can be honorary birbs too, just ask @minego to sign up. :^)

Wow, this person has made some AMAZING #opensource / #programming art:

My favorites are attached.

I love that all urls take 23 characters of your 500 limit, regardless of actual url length. This means there's absolutely no need to use url shorteners on masto. I bet this isn't widely known, so let this be a #tootorial for you.

Okay Mastodon, I need help. #IT #admin #mastodon help.

I have a github repository for my instance. There is one for the official releases of mastodon. I just want to know if there is an easy, graphical way to "merge" the new releases of mastodon onto my repo, to make sure it doesn't erase my home-made config by checking differences first. Dunno if it makes sense.

Any boost or help can be rewarded with pictures of my lovely cat ! Thank you for your help !

I don't need to have enough energy to even think about all the things I'm going to do on any given day

I just need to have the energy to do the very next thing

and I always do, once I stop worrying

F-Droid is now on Mastodon as well!

I'm looking for contracting opportunities, and would like to know if the fediverse has any.

My skills: I am familiar with GTK, the Web, Python, Git, free software in general, and much more. I have a BSc, Computer Science. enjoy efficiently computing answers to problems, as well as designing UIs that are instantly familiar to your users. And if pressed I can do *some* graphic design (e.g. my avatar here/Odysseus's app icon).

Please DM me if interested.

And please boost this toot!

He's apparently pretty happy being a shoulder cat. I took him off my shoulders and he immediately climbed back up and started purring again.

My cats always make stupid faces when I try to take their pics.

Last weekend's full moon, shot freehand, no tripod, with my wife's Nikon P600, using the auto point & shoot setting. That camera never fails to amaze me, and is still the best birthday present I ever got her. :)
