[Decentralized, federated platform for dog owners]
I haven’t been able to get this idea out of my head for a while now. 😩😁
Why are there centralized platforms for dog owners—but no open, decentralized alternative? 🤔
What if clubs, animal shelters, dog training schools, or local communities could run their own instances while still being interconnected, based on ActivityPub, similar to the Fediverse? 😃
Possible features could include:
🐶 Dog profiles
🚶 Walks & meetups
📍 Dog parks & local spots
⚠️ Poisoned bait and hazard alerts
🔎 Missing & found dogs
The focus would be on data sovereignty, local communities, and open standards instead of a centralized platform. 😉
Attached is a preliminary concept diagram to make the idea more tangible.
I’d be interested to know:
Would you use something like this, or even help build it? ⁉️ 🙄

This week, we have some map contributions from @Catwoman69y2k . Much appreciated! The 1st map shows where the "Origin" is (the crosshairs; the point where one first "spawns"). The "Owl" region has the most buildings (there's more than what is labelled) and train tracks connecting everything. The second map is the "Owl" region zoomed in. Train tracks connect each place shown. Vast regions still remain unexplored, and boating around is recommended to do that exploring (eg. bring a friend and boat together).
Our cozy fantasy point and click game, Aster Pebble and the Case of Bad Bureaucracy, is out now!
The game is on a 15% off launch sale for the next 7 days and it's available on both Steam and itch.io.

It is one thing to convince your friends to use XMPP, it is another to have them easily be able to sign up their friends too.
https://txw.ca/mod-signup-keyword/
This is a mod for ejabberd which allows in-band registration with a fixed pre-shared key. It replaces the standard mod_register.
So your friends can pass this PSK to their trusted friends, and they can sign up for an account, and pass it to their trusted friends.
An XMPP Client needs to surface a UI element for the PSK to be entered, and returned to the ejabberd server. I’ve tested it with my hobby client, Mach.
Sto iniziando ad usare 𝗞𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗮 e devo dire che mi sta piacendo molto! È anche la prima volta che sono alle prese con una tavoletta grafica e spero di abbandonare il mio Ipad asap...
Per esercitarmi voglio iniziare da un'illustrazione, accetto "prompt" che verranno realizzati con 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙚𝙣𝙯𝙖 𝘼𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙜𝙞𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙚! ;) ✨
Lichess has always been the most #accessible #chess website for #blind #screenreader users. You can play games there, analyze them, even do puzzles. What you can't do, though, is learn the absolute basics there.
The tutorials are not accessible, and this has been a problem for years from what I know.
I'm fixing that. I have the platform running locally, and already fixed the " collect the stars"-style tutorials so they work with screen readers. Once i'm happy with these changes I will submit a pull request upstream... let's hope they feel up to merging it once I'm done here. #lichess #accessibility #blindChess #webdev #openSource #tech
Running my own BizzFed instance - a federated, algorithm-free alternative to LinkedIn built on ActivityPub.

Account migration wizard (Move activity)
Fixed language switcher (de/en/fr/es)
Fully translated feed UI

As part of @silex leaving GitHub, I’m also looking for a new forge
Not just a libre one: an accessible one
We tested a few options, and sadly accessibility in free software is not automatic
A forge is where contributors spend a lot of time. If it’s not usable by everyone, it’s not good enough
Recommendations welcome
What many people misunderstand about hosting your own content (like this social media instance) is thinking we somehow NEED a big audience or Big Tech involvement.
I'm perfectly fine if the world faded away and it was just the thousand of us here. It's like the early days of the web when we had small forums, nobody missed Reddit back then. Federation is a big plus, not a requirement.
It's the same with websites or IRC for me. I know people use Discord, but I still stick to IRC even if there are only about a hundred of us left. I know people use AI now and website visitors are dropping, but who cares? I still keep doing it for those who like to read.
I don't need the whole world involved for this to feel worthwhile. It's mine, I own it, and I host it for as long as I breathe. After that, it won't matter to me anymore, but I hope other admins keep things running the way I did.

Just shipped RestreamA11y: a free, open-source desktop app that makes Restream actually usable with a screen reader.
Keyboard-first, and it reads your cross-platform chat aloud with neural text-to-speech. Manage channels, titles, and stream status without touching a mouse. Built accessibility-first, because streaming tools rarely are.

In the first half of this year I've reviewed talk proposals for at least 6 major events (I'm probably a better reviewer than speaker 😆).
There are many great proposals that don't get selected for various reasons (some events have acceptance rates around 10%)... so my teammate and I decided to put together this "AI in the Open" webinar series to provide a venue for some cool and interesting talks on #opensource AI.
First session on 20/8 - come join us! https://luma.com/cjktp84a

I have been working on PHPUnit with high intensity recently. I cannot keep this up without more funding.
To everyone who already sponsors my Open Source work: thank you. Your support makes a real difference.
I know times are tough. They are for me, too. If PHPUnit is part of your workflow, please consider sponsoring its continued development:
Firefox recently announced via Bluesky post: “Our support for uBlock Origin isn’t going anywhere.”
Every other major browser has ended support. Brave still has its own built-in adblocker, but has also dropped ManifestV2 support, affecting other addons as well
