Random reminder to use a password manager if you aren't already! It'll help you stay safe online by using long, unique passwords for each service you use.
While LastPass or 1Password are great choices, I prefer KeePassXC

If you've got full-time employment with a company in any other state, Vermont will pay you $10,000 over two years to move there in 2019 and work remotely. https://work.qz.com/1289727/vermont-will-pay-you-10000-to-move-there-and-work-remotely/
Don't forget, that if you're testing out #PixelFed today, you can help out via their GitHub if you find bugs, or obvious missing features that don't seem to be on the "to-do" list, etc.
Keep in mind, alpha stage, so there is a lot missing atm, so may not _everything_ needs an issue made.

Just signed up for @pixelfed #pixelfed, the federated image sharing service, and it's phenomenal! Lots of unimplemented features, but the core functionality works, the interface is clean, functional, and beautiful, and I'm already finding tons of interesting accounts.
Definitely going to replace #instagram for me.
#Pixelfed, the ethical alternative to #Instagram, has started its beta testing and looks nice π
You can get the latest news on the beta and upcoming #federation by following @pixelfed

OK, I published my blog post on my very poor attempt at the 1Password password challenge, written in #rust!

3 hours later: 159 users, 287 statuses, 50k+ hits. Thank you fediverse. I will open registrations and finish federation support this weekend!

oh, and now desktop client is connected. so I'm all good!
k, my Signal app on iOS is sending and receiving messages again now. woohoo! Desktop client on Linux can't seem to connect though.
Hello from Tootle, the upcoming Mastodon app for @elementary OS from @bleakgrey
Came home to a new error from Kubuntu today. Very good instructions at least! Not sure what exactly caused it though.
In general Kubuntu has been pretty stable, but this error/crash recovery procedure would be tough for most non-developer Mac users I think
Apparently Signal is down rn. Feel like it happens maybe twice a year (at least in the US)?
I think I've been using Wire for over a year and I've never experienced a real outage (knock on wood!). I guess that makes sense given their economic models, funding, etc., but still kind of interesting. (I use Signal too, but with fewer people.)
something really heckin cool: popular posts on mastodon/the fediverse routinely get numbers like this. this is really fucking giant for a network that people have said is dying at least three or four times
I'm surprised my Federated timeline doesn't move faster, given how many users are (supposed to be?) in it. It's only maybe twice as fast as my Home tl, and I only follow ~475 users.
Do I (*gulp*) still not understand the specifics of the Federated tl and, by extension, how Masto federation works?
Temporarily removed trends from mastodon.social until I come up with a better implementation.
