DDEV (@ddev, ) is such a great tool! The last couple of days, I used the DB snapshot and restore functionality to test a complex DB cleanup. I had to undo and redo the process several times and it worked flawlessly.

A big shoutout and thank you to the DDEV team and community.

Each panel uses distinctive brand colors and includes platform logos connected by arrows, suggesting a migration from mainstream to alternative social media platforms.

The fediverse is how the internet should be. Decentralized, billionaire-free, and puts users in control. Don't take it for granted.

@theeandre i hope you will like it! I use it for over a year now and it is great. Works almost too good. Feature packed, very performant, good documentation and worth every cent it costs me.

This year I want to dive deeper into all the more advanced features, especially running linux distributions that can communicate with my Mac.

#DDEV significant financial changes: @platform.sh decreases its generous support, but continues at the partner level. We appreciate their ongoing support, but need you and your organization to step up as well. ddev.com/blog/platform-sh-ddev

A festive Christmas-themed graphic with a red background. The image features 12 postage stamp illustrations arranged in a grid. The stamps represent various holiday traditions across Europe: a decorated Christmas tree, a white dove against a starry night, mistletoe tied with a ribbon, crossed candy canes, a blue Christmas sweater with red and white patterns, a stocking with holly leaves, a bunch of grapes, a green triangular bell with a red star, Christmas cookies (a star, a tree, and a snowman), a broom with stars, a green wreath with red accents, and a festive dinner plate with a fork and knife. Each stamp also features one star of the EU emblem. In the centre, "Merry Christmas" is written in white script. At the bottom, the logo of the European Commission appears in white.

2024 marks 40 years of supporting 🇪🇺 research and innovation.

What does it mean in numbers?

🔭 About €283 billion in EU funding.
🏆 Over 30 Nobel Prizes for #EUfunded researchers.
👩‍🔬More than 120,000 research grants to about 75,000 beneficiaries.

Navigate through 40 success stories for each of the 40 years, highlighting the contributions of EU research ➡ europa.eu/!J9339B

Outside of the circle, there are icons related to graphene, space, supercomputing, smart devices, chips, MRNA, vaccines, cancer treatment, automated cars, 3D printing, AI, biotech, quantum, semiconductors, hydrogen tech – all the areas where EU has supported research.

Russia's bombs on Ukraine's energy infrastructure aim to immerse 🇺🇦 in the dark.

Our solidarity is stepping up to keep bringing light by repairing & stabilising the flow of energy in Ukraine.

This includes around €100 million from the proceeds of frozen Russian assets in 🇪🇺.

A visual with a photo of solar panels in the snow in the background. A text reads "Energy support for Ukraine ahead of winter". A ribbon with the Ukrainian and the EU flags tied together stands in the left corner.

Flickr, Instagram, 500px, Unsplash and BeReal are ok photo sharing platforms

But, they are walled gardens, aren't open source and don't federate

@pixelfed is in the perfect place, at the right time, to be able to disrupt this status quo

We don't have investors, all we have is people, and together we can fix this

The fediverse is a revolution, empowering the people, and reclaiming the digital landscape from the walled gardens

No more settling, it's our time now ✨

@mauricerenck but the “old” version will continue as Reeder Classic and will get support and new features, so that should not be a problem then?

On Ukraine Independence Day, we reaffirm our full support to the people of 🇺🇦 in their existential fight against the Russian aggression.

So far, we have supported the people of Ukraine by:

🇪🇺 providing close to €114 billion of overall assistance from the EU and its countries;

🤝 giving shelter and access to jobs, training, housing, and healthcare to, more than 4 million people fleeing the war;

🛑 adopting 14 packages of hard-hitting sanctions against Russia to cripple its war machine.

The image shows a design featuring a blue background with a diagonal yellow brush stroke, representing the Ukrainian flag. The European Union stars are depicted in a semicircle at the top left corner of the image, integrated into the brush stroke. The text "WE STAND WITH UKRAINE" is boldly written in white across the lower half of the image. A small European Union flag is placed at the bottom right corner.

🚨 The European Commission is planning to stop funding for #FreeSoftware projects.

This will be a blow to #DigitalRights & the health of the internet.

The future of an open internet needs public funding ✊🏾
