I myself had to confront the "orthodox" workflow when I learned to contribute (modestly) to Guix

I'm wondering if projects like this could help, in this regard

keeping the issue tracking ina git based backend would allow to keep using patches sent to mailing lists, for the lovers f that workflow
AND to use GUI based interface (web or native) for the lovers of "modernity"

Some of the most moving TV I've ever seen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLazQ2tlhyM @maddow@twitter.com reminds us "Whatever risk you were planning to take with #COVID, remember: it might not be you, but the person you love the most in the world, that gets sick. Don't take the risk - for them."
@SDF in days gone by some us celebrated "DEC 20" day on December 20 in honor of the DECsystem-20, the first model of which was the DECsystem-2020

It seems imperative that SOMETHING be done on December 20, 2020.

Secret surveillance courts. Crappy Internet speeds. Police searches and seizures of private data.
We cover these three problems--and what we can do about them--in our new podcast, "How to Fix the Internet."

How is everyone following their interests in #Mastodon? I've tried setting up pinned hashtag searches, but the columns only support 4 search terms each and don't work on mobile, so that's unwieldy. Any other suggestions?
Have you seen the apps you can use with #Mastodon? See https://mstdn.social/apps for more info!
Are clever ideas.
Well, for #introductions, I'm #newhere. Looking into #Mastodon and the #Fediverse finally. #Facebook and #Twitter are damaging to democracy and it is time decentralize the large social networks.
I like to talk about #Linux, #Rust, #Programming, #Music, #Hobbies, you name it. Thanks @downey for hosting this server.
