We shipped updated Debian packages as well as the prebuilts for desktop users.
One visible new feature is the addition of `env()` CSS variables usable as colors that will match the wallpaper. The extraction is done with https://github.com/Vibrant-Colors/node-vibrant/ and the usable tokens are listed here: https://github.com/capyloon/gecko-b2g/blob/9af2df209d31624643cd167093c6dd7895a6cc80/servo/components/style/custom_properties.rs#L148-L154
The system app and the home screen have been updated to use them, but any web page can also do the same!
wow, I can't believe how big the increase in the quality of life from the setting up this controller with my deck has been so far.
I had a lot of trouble switching between portable and docked mode since I'd lose all the nice controller features they went to keyboard and mouse the. now I can comfortably sit with the controller in my lap and do most of my navigating from there.
way less painful on my fingers too
instead of purchasing new controller or keyboard or whatever I've opted to set up my the old playstation four controller and the bluetooth keyboard attachment for it. what's really cool is that #steam made it easy to get up and running with the touchpad acting as a mouse and the scroll wheel which makes navigating way easier. I also have the same key bindings as I do on my #SteamDeck itself so it's easier to switch between them.
But honestly I think what I really want is the keyboard bindings that Pop OS has for moving and resizing windows.
We are drafting our federation abuse policy for a vote in light of #fedipact and the inevitability of further systemically bad actors. A reminder that our instance runs on a form of consensus decisionmaking where all members are welcome to make proposals and call discussions. We keep each other safe: there are no bosses or managers on #neuromatchstodon, and the radical autonomy of ahierarchical organizing requires radical responsibility to each other. Your input is of equal status to all other members, and whatever contribution you are able to make is welcome.
The initial draft text is here: https://wiki.neuromatch.io/Federation_Abuse_Policy
Our members are welcome to join the discussion and help draft the policy either here or in the socialwg-fediblock channel in our discord. After giving some time to gather input and come to a rough place of agreement, we will call a vote with a 7-day window. Onboarding information including an invitation link to the discord and instructions re: joining the wiki are in your mastodon announcements.
Fedis on other instances are also welcome to give feedback here, since this is a policy that governs our interaction with other instances. Note that this is a very rough draft, so please be kind if we have missed something or have gotten something wrong.
in cooperation, -@jonny
Have some anti capitalist propaganda 💜
vent email spam
maybe I should add language model to my mail server and have a way to auto respond and troll marketers. from some of these structures I assume that a lot of these marketing emails are already aI generated anyways
vent email spam
To be clear, I love it when people email me to talk about stuff or to propose collaboration. I just find it incredibly disrespectful when it's obviously automated spam.
Like, if you can't dignify me with treating me as a person and instead treat me like an opaque resource, I'm just going to block your domain and be extra certain to avoid your project.
Another fun acid #techno track I found:
Btw, I care a lot about safety, Pixelfed is the first AP project that allows users to disable comments, DMs from people you don't follow are hidden by default, and we support shared blocklists and several other features!
I've closed registration on pixelfed.social several times, randomized the pixelfed.org/servers directory and mobile app onboarding.
I'm hellbent on ethical and sustainable growth.
You can come to your own conclusions, my actions speak for themselves.
Great story about our efforts to bring secure curves to the WebCrypto API across all browsers with @igalia.
Also a story of how challenging it is to make progress on the web even when all browser engines have "we're positive on this" signals *and* you're willing to do most of the work.
