Spent a few hours today to get #postmarketos running on the #mntreform with the a311d chipset. All went smoother than expected. Still need to figure out wifi.
I have recently been helping @anze3db with the backend code for starter packs curated on @fedidevs, specifically with splash images. In the future, you should be seeing the new splash images in the link preview if you share a starter pack on here. Example: https://fedidevs.com/s/NDYw/ (by @liaizon)
This was a side effect of my work on interoperable ActivityPub starter packs. The goal is that https://fedidevs.com starter packs will be compatible with Mastodon's (https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2025/08/trunk-tidbits-july-2025/).
I found the source!

recently i had the idea to make a very informal "book club" in berlin with a focus on visual communication/typography/layout/iconography etc where one would study and discuss some classics and new stuff on the subject and try things out and show each other tricks in inkscape etc, and explicitly queer friendly so that it wouldn't be overrun by tech bros. good or bad idea? anyone ever did something like this and has experiences to share?
