That's why this week, we're telling you about our experience developing the #PeerTube mobile app.
Today, we published our second and final blog post on the subject! By reading it, you'll discover the steps that made us sweat when trying to publish the app on the Apple Store. 🥵

David Groom 格岱炜 and Alex Glow dig into Thumby, a teeny-tiny programmable game system from TinyCircuits that runs #MicroPython. We’ll tackle the web IDE and design some sprites.
I'd doodled a quick pixel-art selfie on my iPad as a test image... which has now ballooned into a horde of emoji that I can use in Signal and beyond >😁
Here's the final display; I used #Pixaki to make the doodle and edit it later. Really fun and intuitive app (and yes, it has a symmetry feature!). Check out the video above, and see the description for our live collaboration document with lots more info! I'll be finishing my ancient tutorial on #HacksterIO soon.
Here's the initial 32x32 #PixelArt doodle in the #Pixaki interface, plus the finished image, the version with color + a drop shadow, and one of my favorite emoji (exported at 17x magnification for social media) ^_^
Also made a few little #PixelArt versions of Archimedes and his analogue, Prince Stolas! These tie into my upcoming #Teardown2025 talk (briefly mentioned during #DayGlowShow) – avatars for mind-altering gadgets to help my brain be more brain.
❓ Which of the Princes do you prefer (pics 3 & 4)? I'll test them on the #Thumby screen, too 😀
@makerblock I did ask! ^_^ And I should've been clearer. Good news – 1 & 2 are both gonna be used, as they're representations of Archimedes, my owl shoulder robot, in two different sizes 😁
For the other character (Prince Stolas), I'm trying to choose between the last two (pics 3 & 4), so this is helpful! Thanks for the feedback 😁
Wanted to test animations on the #Thumby, so I made an homage to one of my favorite (erstwhile) webcomics, Drugs and Wires :3
Working with sprite sheets in @pixaki and porting them over went pretty smoothly! I'll post a tutorial soon – currently prepping for my Teardown talk this weekend. 🫠
Good time to remember Former General of the US Army Wesley Clark on the military strategy after 9/11 attacks: "We are going to take out 7 countries in 5 years: Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and finishing it off with Iran"
Do you know what would be refreshing? FOR ONCE, just for once, one of these highly unqualified loyalists installed by Trump at the top of government just had the balls to hold their hands up and say.
🇺🇦👀 The National Police is conducting a large-scale special operation to combat the illegal trafficking of weapons and ammunition: over 500 searches are underway across the country.

As @pluralistic says about technology, so it is with everything: Look not at what it does, but who it does it *for* & who it does it *to*.
In this example the business case is obvious - follow the money, as another saying goes. The puny 32M is irrelevant, so we'll turn our attention to the 15B: Who is going to be paying it, and to whom?
To the current power brokers the 15B isn't money saved, it's profits they feel was stolen from them & they want it back.
BREAKING: Gavin Newsom has announced victory as President Trump just rolled back much of his aggressive immigration plans. This is how you push back and win.
Today they have crossed a deep red line.
We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.
