I have just released Hometown v1.0.5+3.4.0! This release adds no new features, it simply brings Hometown up to date with Mastodon v3.4.0.

I've been building a Facebook Events style event organizing system for the Fediverse. It's based on the simple, open source, privacy-respecting event organizing tool gath.io

The attached video is a work-in-progress preview and shows compatibility with Mastodon. My hope is to get it working with lots of software, including stuff like Friendica that supports events and calendars.

I finished my stint as a Mozilla Fellow and now I'm relaunching my Patreon with a focus on, well, fixing social media.

This means I'm going to continue my concerted work trying to make the fediverse a better place, in the form of best practice guides for running instances, external advocacy, and technical tutorials and training so that more people can contribute software to the fediverse at large.

You can read a partial summary of my work so far at my new Patreon page!

reading: Clever vs Insightful Code 

Almost every interesting generator requires some insight to come up with. That’s a big barrier to people just starting out with [Property based Testing], which hurts adoption.

what an… insightful aside by Hillel Wayne.

i did find property based testing really painful to get into, didn't realise the pain came from having to think

Looks useful, especially for reading technical PDF documents (where you need to do a long of referencing and jumping around). On HN, the developer promises MacOS and Linux versions soon.

RFC 8984: JSCalendar: A JSON Representation of Calendar Data

Beaucoup d'applications gèrent des agendas, avec des réunions à ne pas oublier, des évènements récurrents, des rendez-vous précis. Le format traditionnel d'échange de ces applications est #iCalendar/#jCal. Ce #RFC propose une syntaxe #JSON mais, surtout, un modèle de données très différent, #JSCalendar. (Et, non, #Mobilizon ne semble pas le gérer encoe.)

JoJo's Bizarre Explainer

S06E12: Manic Pixie Nightmare Dinosaur

Johnny Joestar min-maxed his character sheet and put all his knowledge points in "horse". Araki can still only draw three faces, one of which is Britney Spears (not a criticism!). Diego Brando slowly turns into both a dinosaur and also the worst possible plus-one to a Tinder hook-up. Eliz and Courtney remain unapologetic Dio stans. Johnny's stand looks different now when he uses it and so of course we have to Explain that. Gyro is growing and developing as a character, which we can see by how he wads Johnny up into a tiny ball. And hope you weren't too attached to that dead bear because it's a dinosaur now.

Narrabase
Narrative + Database
https://www.narrabase.net/

"To read Uncle Roger, a narrabase or narrative database about the microelectronics industry in Silicon Valley, the reader searches for narrative information in three separate files which disclose the story. Each file is a pool of information into which the reader plunges repeatedly, emerging with a cumulative and individualized picture. Thus the narrabase form uses a computer database as a way to build up levels of meaning and to show many aspects of the story and characters, rather than as a means of providing alternative plot turns and endings."
"From Narrabase to Hyperfiction: Uncle Roger" by Judy Malloy 1991

Holy Moly, the way https://gath.io seamlessly creates a new mastodon account for your event that all your invitees can follow is extremely cool. @darius , believe you had a hand in this? I am using it for the first time and very impressed so far
