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 https://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!

I just learned about Tropy, an open source desktop application for managing the thousands of photos that I end up taking on research trips to archives:

Give a man a hamburger, and he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hamburger, and he'll hardly know 'er.

Okay, I'm gonna stream Fights in Tight Spaces at 6 Pacific tonight. Tune in then to watch me attempt to win a run! I'll do my best to explain strategy etc too.

by the way if you like Into the Breach and Slay the Spire... Fights in Tight Spaces. Play it. It's my new favorite game. https://www.fightsintightspaces.com/

trying to decide whether to *stream* a Fights in Tight Spaces run later today or just to record a run with my commentary and post it. I think I would do better if I didn't have an audience, but an audience might result in more people actually *looking* at it, and I want to get more people playing this game...

Sometimes the mere process of writing out a cw is enough to make me go "huh. Maybe this joke doesn't need telling."
