Damn... I just realized some geek facts about myself:

- I started using #Linux back in 2002
- I started using #fedora in 2004
- I with @GIMP in 2003
- I've never used Adobe...
- yes... Ive always been an #OpenSource #designer...

Yes... I do feel old-school now...

That's right, #Florence #Forkoff has gone live with its first usable pre-release! 🎉

Blog post: https://write.as/florence-development/this-florence-pre-release-0-1-the-fork-is-alive-flomodev

Code: https://github.com/florence-social/mastodon-fork

For now the fork is essentially "Mastodon 2.9.0 with benefits", but in coming months more exciting features will be introduced. But this is a big milestone - it is no longer "vaporware" 🤩

so there is GSoC project to integrate an OpenXR driver to #blender #b3d that's well in the making. This is great news that someone work on this together with the people from Marui
After #godotengine it would be the second software to get OpenXR compatibility.
the last bit would be to have OpenHMD to get positional tracking for the Lighthouse system so we could have a full stack on libre software not depending on unstable proprietary and intrusive middleware.

Last week, Mastodon adopted a beginner-friendly default interface 👍

So, maybe this would be a good time to spread the word about Mastodon to a wider audience?

If you're on Facebook/Twitter, you could do a little post about Masto with a link to https://joinmastodon.org ? And a link to a good instance running 2.9 or above?

(Also, I think some people were doing Mastodon posters?)

If people hear about Mastodon from many different sources, they are more likely to try it.

Hey #darktable users : since september 2018, I have added 14050 lines of code in darktable's core, being the 2nd most productive dev for 2018/2019, and father of filmic, color balance v2 and the new UI design, in addition of providing doc, tutos, advice and various bugfixes. I'm working full time on more cool projects (modules and R&D), but I'm still paid way below minimal wage. If you can spare a few €, you can help me to help you long-term : https://liberapay.com/aurelienpierre/

Happy Friday my lovely •ARTists!

Our instance had recently been updated to version 2.9, which gives you the option of using a new single-column interface. This new interface will be default for new users, but you can decide which version you want to use in your settings page.

More info on the update here: https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2019/06/mastodon-2.9/

Keep being awesome!

The @GIMP team has released 2.10.12: https://www.gimp.org/news/2019/06/12/gimp-2-10-12-released/

Woo! As you may have seen from that previous boost, Mastodon 2.9 is now out, featuring a new single column interface:

https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2019/06/mastodon-2.9/

This is, IMHO, a huge step forward for getting non-technical people onto Mastodon 👍

Instead of the Tweetdeck-style interface, there's now a default single-column timeline which is much less scary.

(The multicolumn original is still an option in Settings, and those who currently use multicolumn will continue to see it by default.)

Made a new theme for Blender 2.80, specifically geared for being readable when printed or shown on an e-ink display. It's here: https://gitlab.com/snippets/1864987

Tested it on an e-ink screen (#remarkabletablet) and it seems to work relatively well.
