The only new feature is a big one: Sign in with Mastodon!
I have heard the overwhelming feedback that "Sign in with Google" was a big barrier to entry for folks. I hope the new login method allows more people to give it a try.

Falls jemand eine #opensource#Alternative zu #googlemaps sucht dem die Basisfunktionen reichen (ich will mit verschiedenen Verkehrsmitteln von A nach B) kann ich Organic Maps empfehlen. Nutzt die Karten von OSM und ist auch im #fdroid Store verfügbar: https://f-droid.org/packages/app.organicmaps/ habe die App heute vom Siegerland nach Rheinhessen mit dem Auto und innerhalb von Rheinhessen mit dem Fahrrad getestet. Funktioniert sehr gut. #Navigation
I'm traveling to #Berlin next week and would be overjoyed to have great tips on what to do besides the usual tourist attractions. #Queer & #Alternative stuff (shops, cafés, night clubs) appreciated. Yes, Berghain is obvious, but even tho we would love to go there, the reality is we are a bunch of wrinkly & chubby 40+ dames and do not necessarily make the cut at the door. 🙄
Je recherche une solution auto-hébergée pour gérer un journal de classe en ligne auriez-vous une idée d'un outil #opensource et #libre à mettre en place ?
Released in 1979 on Joy Division's groundbreaking debut album Unknown Pleasures, "She's Lost Control" is a stark and powerful exploration of epilepsy and loss of self-determination. Its driving rhythm, Ian Curtis's haunting vocals, and the song's evocative lyrics make it a post-punk masterpiece.
Happy Halloween, my fellow ravenous Trick or Treaters. Over the past weeks I’ve collected many goodies for all of you in a mixed music bag for this #TuneTuesday.
I was listening to my own music last night, which is not unusual, I listen to my own music quite a bit. I like it. But as I listened to it last night, I began to view it for the first time as a body of work. I’m not sure what it was before that moment, but as I played through the almost-hour long collection of my original songs, I was struck with the feeling that this is… a thing, a representation of something, I’m not sure what. I’m usually good with words, but I’m finding it difficult to describe the shift I felt. I know I must continue to add to this body of work, and that the work must stay true to itself. Music for the sake of music, and tunes that I personally enjoy listening to over and over again. I’m not sure if it was because I’d just binged on Ween, or maybe had too much sugar, but it was like an epiphany, and The Dgar Project has taken a new seat in my own consciousness. I am a songwriter, and this year, I’m writing songs.
Here’s the link if you’d like to open up the #Dgar for yourself and see what’s inside.
Sonic Youth release their sixth studio album, “Goo”
Up to this point, I really only liked Daydream Nation. Their music was more…musical. Now on a major label, Goo takes Sonic Youth’s songwriting skills to the next level, and offers an even more accessible sound.
First thing I noticed was the Raymond Pettibon album cover artwork. It was a classic signifier of cool. Also noticeable was how each track segued nicely into the next. The sound production was a step up, and the videos from the album are great pieces in their own right.
I don’t recall a ton of commercial radio airplay, but this album was in high rotation at college radio stations everywhere, for several years. There are so many great songs to choose from, it had a pretty long initial run. It’s a classic.
