I am not joking when I say this. Spotify, Apple Music, and streaming in general is over. Bandcamp Fridays is now very, very good. You don't know yet because all Bandcamp Friday bangers circulating today is from 2-3 sales ago. Bandcamp Fridays et al has solved infinite bangers.

Has anyone done a sociological study on why corporate jargon business-speak is so pervasive? Whyyyy do we do this? Business weirdo: "I'm not aligned. Can we circle back to sync again, and assign a DRI to put more wood behind fewer arrows?" Regular human person: "I disagree. Let's make it simpler."

Who else is using @roost.tools’ Osprey for moderation on ATProto? Would there be interest in some sort of shared repo for UDFs and Plugins?

More @roost.tools docs site updates! We’re now serving project docs from the shiny new docs.roost.tools domain. Idk what to do with the bare domain yet, so it currently redirects to roost.tools, but projects get a nice URL like: docs.roost.tools/coop/latest More to come soon. 👀

The @roost.tools community site now shows contributors from the GitHub API! It doesn’t reflect every contribution to the community (e.g. folks who are active in working groups or chat but not on GitHub), but it’s a start to try to visualize who the ROOST community actually is. community.roost.tools

Screenshot of the ROOST community site. It reads “Meet us: These are the people building ROOST projects in the open.” Below the text are 80+ GitHub avatars of contributors.

We’re still refining our processes, but I think we went too long between releases! 😅 For a relatively minor update, there’s so much good stuff coming in Coop 1.1.0. And a ton from adopters using Coop in production, or first-time contributors. It’s exciting to see this community grow and develop. 😊

Lots of people talking about 1password's complicity (which is good) Not enough talking about how DigitalOcean is somehow being even shittier

I know Geoff has been trying to raise this for months, to no avail.

Atop of this, DigitalOcean has ceased the monthly $50 payments they previously gave to GNOME and Flathub infrastructure. Apparently it is a more pressing matter for them to donate to a collection of scripts and configuration files than to contribute to the projects they’re built upon or to pay the writers and editors of their own publication.
