@pixelfed @firefish The "Donations" section here has far better options:

My #ActivityPub server #Vocata is rapidly improving and approaching the milestone of 250 commits, very much thanks to @steve who has started to systematically test it and fix bugs.

While not planned, I am looking forward to actually using it ;)...

#Konqi, the #KDE mascot, is a very special mascot. He is not just any dragon, he has an elaborate personality. And there is a whole fiction universe around him!

Now to the sad part: **There are no Konqi universe #plushie!**

There are attempts to sell plush dragons, but no matter how cute, they are not Konqi.

I want to change that. If I can gather 250 likes here, I will explore options how to make real Konqi and #Katie plushies!

To everyone who needs to here it (FOSS projects relying on Google services, I am looking at you!):

You are supporting such practices, besides the usual anti-privacy, anti-freedom, anti-community hostility you are supporting:

@alcinnz Why would anyone want an ancient end-of-life version of Django bundled with an ancient Python version, and why would one recommend using it?

Today was the first time a small project of mine received a drive-by contribution on @Codeberg 🎉.

It's as viable as GitHub if you are looking for a lively community of developers. As a matter of fact, my private side projects never gained any interest whatsoever when I was using GitHub.

@alcinnz @mawhrin @davidgerard I do as well. Seems I need to stop.

(Although as a fun fact, a long-standing network bug is actually something else that drives me away from Go... https://github.com/golang/go/issues/52341 has put an important project on hold here, and now I will just rewrite in Rust instead 🤷)

@mawhrin @alcinnz @davidgerard Also if it doesn't pass.

Look closely. The whole ecosystem is entirely, well, Google.
