Good morning Fediverse! Expect more posting about MUDs from me today, I'm taking full advantage of it being Sunday and no one being home.

How lovely folks. It’s Friday. You know what that means?

It’s another opportunity to reflect how awesome you are and how far you’ve come.

Embrace that’s shit. With both hands.

Tumblr import shipping soon! 🚀

It feels good to start a branch of GNOME's #Epiphany web browser where the first commit is a big removal that kills the old, memory-hog ad blocker. Next up: add the new ad blocker, using #WevKit's built-in content extensions support.

The new code only needs to care about downloading the filtering rules and using the new API to compile and make WebKit use them.

For testing I have EasyList (what Ephy uses now) converted to the JSON format, and using @aral's Better ruleset is the final target 🧐

@ben
Only 40 hours to go in the fundraiser though, people have to be fast if they are interested in snagging a account!

I'm so old that when I was at university we still believed in the "semantic web".

This is a big release with lots of new improvements!

Features:

- Images/videos are now shown in a more condensed grid, thanks to some great work by @stevegenoud. If you prefer the old style, though, you can switch back in Settings -> General -> "Show large inline images and videos"

- Big perf improvements thanks to upgrading Sapper.

- Pinafore can now be hosted as a static site. Note that this is in beta though, and doesn't support CSP.

So, I'm gonna toot about this one more time.

The beta for version 3.0 of the fish shell is out now.

It is one of the most complete #activitypub projects still in alpha stage, and looking very neat too.

Things to do to help the project:
