The best pillow #catsofmastodon

Still plenty to do, but I've made a start on the work to get Pied usable on @postmarketOS #postmarketos #mobilelinux

Cuddle puddle #catsofmastodon

With only minimal hackery, I've managed to get Flutter apps compiling and running natively on @postmarketOS Next steps will be adapting Pied to work well on smaller screens, and figuring out Alpine packaging #linuxmobile #flutter #postmarketos

What a cozy Saturday #caturday #catsofmastodon

Increasingly feeling that I'd like to get back into mobile Linux development, after over 8 years away. Does anyone have any recommendations for a phone that can be picked up cheaply second hand? I'm currently thinking of the OnePlus 6, as it seems to be pretty good on @postmarketOS support […]

A true music lover #catsofmastodon

Just spotted that Newcastle library has started using Anubis* for bot protection. Sad that it's necessary, but it's cool that they put some effort in and didn't just end up on CloudFlare. * They're actually using the more generically branded sponsored version, BotStopper, so are helping to fund […]

More top-notch Google engineering on their flagship products

Did you know your MacBook has a sensor that knows the exact angle of the screen hinge? It’s not exposed as a public API, but I figured out a way to read it and make it sound like an old wooden door. Source code and a downloadable app to try it yourself […] [Original post on hachyderm.io]

The problem with working in AgTech, is that it completely destroys the dream of abandoning your computer and becoming a farmer

Nothing is safe when there are biscuits to be made #caturday #catsofmastodon

Had another go at some pixel art, I wanted to try mixing some organic and artificial structures. Not entirely happy with some of the shapes, but it's all learning! #pixelart

Our August Creative Code Club is tomorrow, 6/8, from 7pm at NewBridge Projects. Everyone welcome!

OK, genuinely think this is a good development in the Linux world. PixiEditor started as a pixel editor but seems to be aiming for “pleasing FOSS alternative to Photoshop that also supports Linux.” The node-based workflow for adding filters is genuinely interesting, too […]

Had a go at following along with a Bob Ross style pixel art tutorial, pretty pleased with the result, and learnt a bunch of handy tricks with aseprite along the way #pixelart

Would love to see the 3D printer that uses these filament spools

Dear Infocom nerds of Fedi, I'm having a clear out and have listed a bunch of original Amstrad CPC Infocom games on eBay if anyone fancies a bit of interactive fiction history: https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/elleomea #infocom #interactivefiction #zork

Having a tiny folding chair in your bag means you can sit and have your lunch wherever you like And watch hoppy little frogs to boot

Looking through my old notes and there's one that's just "MIDI shoes"

July’s creative code club is tomorrow, 7/7, from 7pm at NewBridge Projects. Come, hear, and talk about creative code!

Great, now I can listen to a mangled interpretation of my old papers. #ai #academia

Current in imminent danger of purchasing a domain for another project I'll never get around to

Long before the internet, the global phone network was hackable by playing a single tone at 2600Hz. Whistled into a payphone, it could grant you unrestricted access, a skill made famous by legends like Cap'n Crunch. Do you have the vocal chops to be an old-school phone phreak? I built a web […]

Tomorrow's code club will be a show and tell session - show us your scrappy fiddles and stradivaria, or just come and watch. 7pm at Newbridge Projects

Nelly knows she's not allowed in the bathroom, which is why whenever she manages to slip in, she immediately goes and hides under something so that she can't be removed #catsofmastodon

Me and @callheralaska just spent most of our morning freeing a baby crow from our basement light well, while one of its parents yelled encouragement down at us from above. Featuring window acrobatics and gentle towel elevators.

What a pretty city

We're back tomorrow with a #strudel top tips and skills swap session, followed by a jam. Strudel is a web based language for making beat-based music. As always, complete beginners and newcomers are very welcome. 7-9pm at NewBridge Projects

Job postings on freelancer websites are usually pretty awful, but this one really grabbed me. Private health care company wants a UK based developer for £10-15/hour. If you ever wonder why a lot of the apps you use are garbage, this is definitely part of the reason why.
