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.

Here's a new blog post from the soon-to-be CEO of Github, Nat Friedman.
"I’m not asking for your trust, but I’m committed to earning it. I can’t wait to help make the GitHub platform and community that’s special to all of us even greater."

Weirdly, his linked Github account is pretty sparse https://github.com/natfriedmanhttps://github.com/natfriedman
I feel like the MIT PGP Public Key Server has been glitchy for a while-- I often get a timeout half the time when I try to do a search. Does it work reliably for y'all?

hm so I'm experiencing a semi-serious/annoying bug in Kubuntu 18.04: every once in a while one of my two monitors goes dark? My solution so far has been to unplug the external monitor and plug it back in.

I don't think people understand how many of us at Microsoft love GitHub to the bottom of our hearts.
If anybody decided to mess with that community, there would be a riot to say the least

TIL about The Plain Text Project by @scottnesbitt
It struck an ideological chord. And once something does that, you are open to believe any attack against something that has been turned into "the enemy".
Toot toot! @Mastodon just got a native Linux client! #Tootle is now available in @elementary OS AppCenter.

do you have good reads on snap, flatpak, AppImage etc? In order to become more familiar with these things
I would like to announce a public server running #brutaldon: https://brutaldon.online/
Brutaldon is a brutalist, Web 1.0 web interface for Mastodon. You can use it as a client for any instance. Currently you do not need a separate brutaldon account. It is compatible with almost any web browser, including text-mode browsers like lynx, w3m, or eww.
Screenshots, issues tracker, and source code are available at https://github.com/jfmcbrayer/brutaldon.
Have fun!
I think having more forks would take a lot of pressure from me, I need to find ways to highlight and promote them.
during the tag jubilee everyone loses their friends and followers as well

Alternative #Mastodon frontends:
* Halcyon
* Pinafore
* Brutaldon
Are there any others that people are aware of?
