@laguiri Well, some of us are trying and it would be amazing if folks actually funded us so we could continue to exist and do our work.

Recently dived into some more obscure parts of the internet. Here's what I found!
The #geminiprotocol is the middle ground between #gopher and #http. It is very cool and I got my site made and ready in just under an hour.
Its like the internet of old. No ads, no distractions,l and all with the modern comfort of higher speed and a ton of #asciiart.
One downside I've found is a lack of content apart from blogs. I would love if we can get more reading on there!
#foss documentation for example!

After a stable release of K-9 Mail, our Android team usually spends a couple weeks fixing bugs. The bug hunt takes center stage in this month's #Android progress report, with cketti and Wolf ironing out a BUNCH of them.

🕘 December 2009: Maybe you were upgrading your computer to the new Windows 7, or checking out Ubuntu 9.10. Perhaps you were pouring all your free time into Valve’s ridiculously fun survival shooter Left 4 Dead 2. And maybe, just maybe, you were eagerly anticipating installing Thunderbird 3.0…

Minetest Mod Review: Legboat
This mod adds a boat for the land. The four dynamic legs let you cover a wide range of terrain with great ease, be careful though as the legboat is too heavy to float and will travel on the ground underwater.

Good addition even if it's on the Threads side ... and I'm curious why many fediverse apps still can't get the correct post and follower count but it works with threads? Is it compatibility between Mastodon, Pixelfed, Misskey apps? @Gargron

I looked at the #rust based, #Cosmic #desktop #environment, by #System76. This is branded "alpha" right now, but I'm flabbergasted by the users online, who think that "by summer" that thing will be ready for general use.
News flash, it won't.
It generally takes 2-3 years minimum after the official release for a brand new DE (with a brand new #API & libs) to become truly useful to most people. DEs aren't adopted unless matured. Hamper your expectations, lads.
