A while back I built a site that converts RSS feeds to ActivityPub actors that you can subscribe to from Mastodon and other ActivityPub-compliant social networks: https://bots.tinysubversions.com/convert/
I've now also published the source code: https://github.com/dariusk/activtypub-to-rss

I was asked at work once to guess what the biggest risk to the company might be in coming years. The answer is always "That climate change has tipping points and that we're nearing or beyond some of them", but that's not really the answer they were looking for, I suppose.

All of you lovely #IndieWeb people have got me seriously thinking about buying a #RaspberryPi to set up my own server for hosting my website and running things like #NextCloud and #Etherpad.

Wondering if anyone has any suggestions for #FLOSS vector drawing programs aside from #Inkscape for drawing diagrams, mockups, wireframes, icons — basically any kind of design asset.
I may give #GravitDesigner a try, but I would prefer something open source that stores it’s files in an open format like #SVG. Not something that exports to SVG, but just saves and opens SVG by default. I also want to keep files locally, so #Figma is out.

This week feels like a rough week for a lot of people.
Remember, you're not alone. When you're in the thick of it, it feels like there is no way out, but there is.

Do whatever you need to do to hang in there. It's gonna be ok.
