@Catvalente It's not just content, it's software too. Why have any other app when you can just ask Google to do it?

@feddit-admin @rimu@piefed.social As the effect on other fediverse systems (and PieFed!) is unknown, I have altered the registration form so that only A-Z and 0-9 characters are accepted as a user name.

#PieFed is taking off

@julian@fietkau.social @hollo @thisismissem @julian@community.nodebb.org @dansup @renchap It'd need to be two colors - one for light mode and another for dark.

...maybe you'd need a corresponding text color too, for when the accent is used as a button background, etc. A light and a dark mode text color.

...and then again, many clients have multiple themes with different color schemes. It'd be hard to ensure the custom accent is legible on all of them.

I need to make a site map for a client. After a few minutes pottering around in LibreOffice Draw, Dia and Inkscape I feel dissatisfied and dreading the massive task ahead (this site is huge)

I need something mind-map-ish. I type "mind" into the start menu of KDE. Damn, I have no mind map software, but oh look it says "Get Minder" with a suitable-looking icon.

2 mins later it's installed.

30 mins later I'm done. The software was excellent.

#FOSS really is a gift to humanity.

A large #Lemmy instance is shutting down - https://lemm.ee.

Fortunately, #PieFed provides a way to migrate the posts in all the communities on it to somewhere else!

See https://piefed.social/post/667044 for a demo.

@manton #PieFed provides an endpoint that you can query to get the result of the background processing that happens later.

Maybe we need a FEP for this so other projects do it too.

Literally crying with laughter when I discovered the richest person in the world travels with a box containing 20 different recreational drugs and took so much that he couldn't stop pissing himself.

Imagine having everything and still losing the game.

@Natanox Oh wow, the way Julia does threads is how I've always wished it could be. So simple <3

@Natanox Python has spoiled me for syntax beauty, even Ruby looks bad to me now.

I've made big improvements to PieFed's #PWA based on feedback from the validator on https://pwabuilder.com.

Even if you think your pwa is fine, run it through there, you won't regret it.

@tef @mcc brb, adding "You got an MBA?" to my list of questions to ask during an interview

@bob I have been building a theme for PieFed which will make piefed.social usable in Dillo. It's about half done, still very very rough.

@stefano @Jerry afaik It should run on BSD. https://piefed.social is on an ARM-powered vps with no issues.

@Jerry In a couple of days I'll publish the list for this month, it'll be huge too :D

@reiver @firesidefedi @ozoned Here is the install instructions.

@deadsuperhero @news PieFed has been absolutely fizzing lately. See https://piefed.social/c/piefed_meta for news.

@foxylad I started building that list right after the election.
