#Instagram users should just switch to #Pixelfed. Seriously. The UI of Pixelfed is lighter and works very well without being authenticated (no login popup, etc.).

With a small user base (compared to IG), everytime I post the same photo on Pixelfed and IG, I get way more views (and comments !) on Pixelfed.It's quite fun. And the comments are really nice. The goal is not to spam my account.

UBports has released an update for their mobile OS Ubuntu Touch dubbed version "OTA-3 Focal". This update adds beta support for the PinePhone, PinePhone Pro, and PineTab / PineTab 2; switches the primary APN database provider to lineageos-apndbsupport; preliminary Snap support; and more. Some of the devices already had support for the older Xenial based Ubuntu Touch versions so it's good to see them, get support for the newer OS. Ubunutu Touch is a great option for those that want to escape Apple or Google. What it lacks in app support it makes up for in stability and ease of use. They have a GUI installer that is available in multiple formats and supports a lot of devices which makes getting Ubuntu Touch installed an easy task.


The main website for the project is here:

Paramount+ is now entirely useless if you use a pihole to block New Relic, Doubleclick, and Braze. You literally can't watch the shows you paid for without providing minute-by-minute viewership data to multiple ad platforms.

Interesting... Rumble actually tracks both raw and unique view counts... but only shows the higher number publicly.

So for the next few months I think I'll try dev streaming in the Tuesday thru Saturday morning timeslot, before @mmccarthy4 on his streaming days.

It gives me a steady work schedule and it could be a little hangout for folks here who wants to branch out over there. I don't know if I'll get much serious work done - I'll try to keep one eye on chat and answer gamedev questions and stuff.
