May Day, May Day, on this Day in May I have a thing to say. Long has federation been a consideration, especially as Mastodon appears to be more than a mirage. Alas, choices will paralyze and ides fail to materialize. This post, this instance, this moment, yet another push will be shoved as the chains of unfree software continue to weigh. To that I say, Hey! Eventuality may not have crystalized, but for now my toots can be distillized. Remember to #FLOSS if you want to enjoy #bigandlittleFfreedom

@ilpianista I was just searching for a client that could publish to both Twitter and Mastodon and Choqok looks the most likely. However, I do not run KDE and generally try to avoid installing any of the QT dependencies. That said, recently I've taken to digiKam via Flatpak. Is packing Choqok like this on the horizon? Thanks!
Okay! I've finally written descriptions for all the @spritelyproject subprojects on https://spritelyproject.org/
Check it out!

Just booked plane tickets to #CCCCamp19 Is this really my first @ccc event‽ This is really happening‽ #kiltedglobetrotter #bigandlittleFfreedom #CCC #tEUrCamp #t00rcr3w #hacktheplanet
Another day of #ICA19 and the presentation is officially behind us! Good job @groceryheist onto other (lunch-focused) things until @mako 's ignite talk.
#ICA19 is going well, lots of contacts and conversations at last night's receptions. About to listen to the presidential address by @UWComm@twitter.com 's very own Patricia Moy! Looking forward to more connections tonight, apparently there is a @icahdq@twitter.com #DanceParty ...
#ICA19 day 2 is going well, too many sessions to see them all! Birds of a Feather Flock Together: Online Communities is wrapping up and I will probably head to the @ICA_CAT@twitter.com poster session next! #academicworldproblems
At my first @icahdq event #ICA19 specifically the @ica_cm preconference that @groceryheist et al. organized. Looking forward to a week of academic presentations, receptions, and generative conversations! Will try to keep the feed up-to-date with #mastodon forward.
