We knew this day would come eventually.
Chuck Moore, inventor of the #Forth programming language, officially retires from Forth programming.
"It's time to move on."
Honestly do not have the spoons to read the gargron stepping down thing. I assume it means very little and will not impact me much at all.
Framasoft are one of the sadly very few non-bullshit orgs (they’re like us, Small Technology Foundation, not Mozilla) working for a better future for technology and society.
They’re raising funds at the moment.
Please support them if you can.
Thank you!
I am proud to announce that I am the new CEO of Mastodon and I look forward to the many challenges of this new role
BREAKING: Gargron has stepped down as CEO of website following a fruitless week-long wait for a response to an email to himself
The fediverse is an island within an increasingly dystopian capitalist hellscape. And from my perspective, Mastodon is our best shot at bringing this vision of a better future to the masses.

Saw these traffic cones near my house and was like, ooh VLC has Dark Mode now #vlc #videolan #vlcmediaplayer #TrafficCone #WitchesHat
@nixCraft I installed slackware on a 16MB 486, and could even run the X11 desktop (with fvwm), and write my diploma thesis.
Here's a great throwback to a #FOSDEM video from 2016, "Your distro is a Scheme library" where @civodul shows some of the ways to query and configure #guix using #guile:

@vidak also if people.arent cc'ed , there could be lore drops every "night"
@vidak i would also take into acct time zones/working hours of all the players, so dilation can be added between updates as a result
Maybe a little program that receives the email, and then outputs another hash/code after the user has emailed in theirs?
And then the program sitting behind the email account schedules everyone's updates and releases a new hash every hour.
I think hourly updates would be good, just to keep everything nice and slow--not just for the experience of the human user, but also to prevent race conditions and other bizarre problems.
I went out in the world for a while. Rest assured, no one knows what the fuck mastodon is still
