If the current trend over the most recent months is a stable one, my #Mastodon followers will surpass my #Twitter followers within the next year. Go for it! 💪

The seventy-fourth edition of my weekly collection of news about #LinuxPhones (@PINE64 #PinePhone, #PinePhonePro, @purism #Librem5 and such), #LinBits, is out!

https://linmob.net/linbits-73-weekly-linux-phone-news-week47-48/

This week in Linux Phones: #libhandy 1.5.0, #Fluffychat 1.0, #NemoMobile running on two more devices, #postmarketOS adds support for another Snapdragon 845-based phone, #LoRa backplate fun and more!

"If you can’t fit everything you want to do within 40 hours per week, you need to get better at picking what to do, not work longer hours."

@dhh and @jasonfried in "It Doesn’t Have to Be Crazy at Work"

Considering trying #PostmarketOS on my #PinePhone .. has anyone gotten #Signal (desktop or android app) to work?

Mastodon usually has a dark theme by default, but you can switch to a light theme or high contrast theme if you prefer.

Go to Preferences > Appearance > Site Theme, choose the one you want and click "Save Changes".

Some instances have additional themes too. Ask your admin if you want more themes added.

Welcome to #Mastodon, here are couple tricks:
- find the content to follow, no company is shoving content into your face here
- initially check as many profiles as you can and follow if you enjoy their toots
- https://joinmastodon.org/communities lists instances
- /about page of each instance has "Discover users" + "what's happening": great way to find profiles to follow.
- click on "star" if you enjoyed the post, "boost" if you want your followers to enjoy it too
- block spammy accounts right away

Thank you to everyone who bought something this weekend!

I haven't talked about it much here, but on my @matt blog I've mentioned that Write.as finally became modestly profitable earlier this year. It's only enough to sustain a single full-time developer (me), but it means I can keep building this, @writefreely, and our other projects indefinitely.
