I'm not saying it is necessarily a *good* thing but I really see the future of development workflows being "in the cloud".

Things like Gitpod, Codespaces etc. really do make things easier for entry-level developers. Personal devices (laptops / workstations) could eventually run the bare minimum:

* Storage
* Memory
* Processor

Plenty of people will still prefer running/storing everything locally - but I truly believe a lot of people will move in this direction.

On Mastodon, there are two ways of labelling posts: Favourites and Bookmarks.

Here's a quick comparison...

You can add a Favourite by clicking the star ⭐ below a post.

Favourites are pretty much just likes, and the person who wrote the post will get a notification when you add a favourite. Other people who can see the post will also be able to see who favourited it.

You can see all your past favourites by logging in through the website and clicking "Favourites".

You can add a Bookmark by clicking the bookmark 🔖 below a post, or if it isn't visible click ⋯ and then select "Bookmark".

Bookmarks are much more private, only you can see which posts you've bookmarked. No one gets any notifications when you add a bookmark.

You can see all your past Bookmarks by logging in through the website and clicking "Bookmarks".

Note that the official Mastodon app doesn't have bookmark support yet. You will have to use the website or a third party app.

Also Google *image* search finds Github issues now and... generates images for them? These images do not appear on the linked issue pages, they are literally autogenerated screenshots of the headers from issue pages.

Someone (unsure if Github or Google) sat down one day and actually wrote code to do this.

Why.

I was going to add an image of someone whispering in Biden's ear to tell him the asshole was him, but all the results are conspiracy theories about a fake ear during debates and photos of him creepily smelling young women's hair, so I'm skipping it.

"The 1994 Crime Law dramatically increased the rate of Americans (the majority of them Black) jailed for marijuana. Today I'm starting the process of undoing the great injustice caused by whomever created that law. My first step is to find out who that asshole was."

Our #Mastodon host is closing. Thanks to @ashfurrow for hosting our profile in the past years, and all the best for the future. We can well understand the burden, there are also hard times with multiple people in the team, but it's much more manageable.

We are looking for your recommendations for a new home – Where do you want to see #Codeberg in the future?

I’ve updated my “Share on Mastodon” plugin; it now automatically adds Mastodon as a Micropub syndication target. No weird `functions.php` or other hacks required. How cool is that?

I saw something funny in a dream last night and took some photos on my phone but I can’t find them now that I’m awake. They should make a camera that fixes that problem
