Paypal blocked my account due to unknown reasons (never notified etc.) around 2003. So I have been "doing business" with them for 23 years using **a different email address**. Now they sent an email to my **original email address** notifying me of account […] [Original post on fosstodon.org]

So this preview not available thing is isolated to @fosstodon (when checking via mastodon.social I see previews fine). There has not been any response, so I must suspect they now block multimedia content by the automated Fediverse accounts. #mastolivre #fediverse #activitypub #fosstodon #mastodon

So, Mailove, the fast, friendly KDE-first email client (that works everywhere via AppImage) is not the most loved. But is is definitely the most downloaded #opensource project of mine. #github #libresoftware #linux #kde #plasma #kdeneon #kdelinux #email #mail #software

I used to manually check traffic to my repos on Github. Github does not offer any good dashboards to creators, even in 2026. So I have made my own: (if somebody is interested, let me know, I can release it, it's really primitive) #github #analytics #data #dashboard #dataviz #opensource
