Is your open source project still using Slack for its community? Consider:

Mozilla has migrated their chat to Matrix: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Matrix

Mattermost now offers hosted service with special pricing for OSS projects: https://mattermost.com/nonprofit/

There are probably even more I'm not aware of.

There are good Free options now. Time to get out of the proprietary SaaS lock-in.

Mastodon does not store passwords in plain text. This is trivial to confirm as Mastodon is an open-source project. We use the bcrypt algorithm for one-way hashing of passwords. I can't believe someone is spreading misinformation about something so trivial to debunk.

I've configured my mail client to only check mails once an hour... and I feel like that not only helps my productivity, but also makes me quite a bit more relaxed sitting in front of my desktop.

Now I wish I could configure other apps to also only spam me with notifications in certain intervals.

For example: don't alert me for every single Mastodon notification, give me a nicely formatted summary twice a day.

"Moxie Marlinspike On Decentralization" by David Rosenthal https://blog.dshr.org/2020/09/moxie-marlinspike-on-decentralization.html

The talk and blog post are both very interesting. I think advocates of decentralization (including myself!) should take these arguments seriously.

- Ctrl-U to view source for the page
- Ctrl-F to search for "rss"
- if it exists, copy-paste it into my RSS reader

Please tell me there's a better way. 😛 My reader is NewsBlur BTW.

Recently, we removed Firefox Send because of security concerns and they took the service down. Today, they announced Send is dead.

We will also be removing Lockwise because Mozilla keeps killing projects after adoption, causing headaches for users.

Stay classy #Mozilla.
Seems Mozilla is blocking access over #Tor now.

"content-visibility: the new CSS property that boosts your rendering performance" by Chris Coyier https://css-tricks.com/content-visibility-the-new-css-property-that-boosts-your-rendering-performance/

"Seems like you’d have to be a pretty skilled perf nerd to get this right, and know how to look at and compare rendering profiles in DevTools."

I'm a huge perf nerd, and I can't really make heads or tails of how I'm supposed to use this new API. I'm going to hit the snooze button and wait for more examples and documentation to come out.
