@cleanduck@mastodon.social @Mrfunkedude@beige.party @TheLegendOfThrill@mastodon.online my recommendation, find a project you enjoy. Find where they congregate. Learn the project. Be vocal in helping. Profit. I'm not a developer. But I've been working with the Bonfire group, just running it, asking questions, giving recommendations, reporting bugs. There are TONS of Fedi projects on Matrix.

I'd honestly LOVE to see people starting to play with and test drive Fedify, Emissary and Bonfire. Because those 3 are attempting to be a solid base that allows folks to build on top of it. They worry about the Fediverse part and you build whatever you want.

Fedify is a low level library essentially that Ghost is using to enable ActivityPub.

Emissary ( emissary.dev ) is trying to allow folks to build HTML and CSS on top of it. If you look at bandwagon.fm that's built on Emissary.

Bonfire is a more out of the box solution, but is highly extensible.

Again though, just running it, giving feedback seems to have been invaluable to those developers. I haven't run Fedify, but I have run Emissary and Bonfire, and Manyfold, and I just gave feedback and the devs seemed to REALLY appreciate it.

Hell I even started "Works On My Machine Live" where I install from the docs with the dev and folks seemed to learn a LOT from that. I only have a few episodes, hoping to do more in the future.

@Xavier@infosec.exchange lol born in the '80's? 1980 for me. Maybe we're twins. If so, I'm so sorry. 😁

Just watched Star Trek TNG S3E10 The Defector. Love that Trek. Picard the strategist, but also doing eventing he can to prevent bloodshed.

I was a latch key kid. Never religious though I was raised Catholic. I've been told by friends, some very religious, that I have very strong moral code. I honestly often wonder if it was TNG that helped me build those beliefs. Not like I had anyone, but the crew of the Enterprise around to teach me. 😁

@TCMuffin@toot.wales he's incredible. Teaching science in such a fun and interesting way. But also showing that he's not perfect and has to iterate to get things right.

Just watched Mark Rober's #TED talk on engaging science in the classroom.

He's created Class Crunchlabs to engage students and make a teacher's job easier. All classes are FREE forever.

@davidrevoy@framapiaf.org ABSOLUTELY gorgeous! Thank you for sharing. Just stunning. I wish I had more words. 😊

@evan@cosocial.ca lol jus tseeing this. 😁 Love them all.

In my Owncast chat I have new users called "embers". I figured from an ember starts a flame leading to a fire. 😊

I can't explain how excited I am to be able to speak with @evan@cosocial.ca tomorrow, May 27th at 14:00 US Eastern time (UTC-4).

I've been speaking with folks and they've given him a very special nickname. You'll have to tune in tomorrow of catch the #VOD to catch it.

@fuzzface@epsilon-ix.masto.host I'm a big Trekkie. Grew up watching reruns of TOS and watched TNG as a kid when it released. Rewatching as an adult.

@quadrivial@beige.party my kids might enjoy it then as well.

@fuzzface@epsilon-ix.masto.host excellent point! Never thought if it that way. 😄 tY!

Yup. Still missing the mark with Young Frankenstein.

@argonaut@mastodon.social I'm only familiar with Nausica and Monoke. I'll check out the others as well tY!

@theeclecticdyslexic@mstdn.social yeah I think this is exactly it. I've watched a LOT of movies and I think you've named it exactly.

@theeclecticdyslexic@mstdn.social yeah, young Frankenstein has all the right pieces, but it just never came together for me. Part way through now and I see the genius, but it still just isn't hitting the right spot. I want to love it. I think because I've seen other Mel Brooks movies first the jokes I already know.

@splendorr@mastodon.social tY! Excited to watch.

And now for something completely different. Young Frankenstein by Mel Brooks. I love Mel Brooks movies, but Young Frankenstein never hit for me. Trying again though. I know it's a classic.

@mosgaard@uddannelse.social tY I need wholesome. 😄

@julian@fietkau.social thank you. I'll check out!

Kikis Delivery Service is a lovely wholesome movie. I think I lines Howl's Moving Castle art and animation more, but Kiki is so cute and wonderfully wholesome. Highly recommend.

I've also seen Totoro and that's just magical.

Maybe I'll watch Ponyo or Nausica next. Any suggestions?
