So #Fediverse, tell me - are there any Mastodon clients you really like for the desktop? Specifically, I am hoping for something with a GUI, linux native, and has support for vim motions. The stretch goal would be something cross-platform.

I'll just download a test a bunch if I have to, but hoping one of you can save me the effort, because so far my search-engine-fu is not yielding any results regarding vim-motions. (which I concede is a bit of a long shot)

The #opensource phenomenon is now decades old. There are countless developments, successes and failures, adoption and cooption. Still nerd territory but somebody should write a book about it as this is one of the most remarkable positive behaviors in an otherwise mostly regressive timeline.

My top-three inflection points:

#linux, the foundation of everything

#python, democratizing the fearsome algorithm

#activitypub, the (still mostly unfulfilled) binding of digital society

What are yours?

I spent my £0.25 wisely this morning, as now I know All The Words.

As long as the word you want is about a computer, and you don't want to know about anything after the year 2000.

As a special, time-limited offer, I will give a free definition from this masterpiece to the first ten people to reply with a computer-related term.
