And the 2026 #matrixconf has come to an end! Huge thanks to everyone who supported #continuwuity this week, from the Matrix.org sponsors funding our transport & accommodation, our opencollective sponsors for keeping us fed during the conference, and everyone who watched the recordings of our talks!

Improving Matrix's timeline feature without sacrificing #federation has been a challenge - but now, there's a plan! Hear Continuwuity's Jade and Ginger explain it. #MatrixConf 20-23 Oct #Malmö @jadedblueeyes Learn more: cfp.2026.matrix.org/matrix-confe...

Continuwuity v26.9.1 just released, containing a critical security fix, and a couple similarly important bug fixes. All federated deployments should update ASAP. Also read the release notes. forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuati... #matrix #continuwuity #selfhosted #security

📢 [Continuwuity v26.9.0](https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/releases/tag/v26.9.0) just dropped! This release brings a host of bug fixes, and several bandwidth improvements for sliding sync, and a prettier account management page. Check it out! #matrix #continuwuity #selfhosted

My POV:

This is me letting you know there's a new Continuwuity chat server update. It took a lot to get it here and I now have a needy cat sat on my arm https://forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuation/continuwuity/releases/tag/v26.8.1

This Week in Matrix is out 📰 featuring a #MatrixLive conversation with Jade from #Continuwuity; a suprise chart 📈 (!); and, some interesting new ecosystem projects 🤖 matrix.org/blog/2026/08...

Uh oh, looks like Google is now vulnerable to SCPs

The three genders (nonbuynary)

gimp is kinda jank yeah but when people have Serious Takes about how it needs to improve all i can read is "here is how these four guys working intermittently for free have FAILED to live up to the international company making twenty billion dollars a year"

It's a new #Continuwuity chat release! We've got a lot of cool new stuff this past month. Email verification! Terms and Conditions! Deleting notification pushers! So exciting - but also super important for running communities on your terms. forgejo.ellis.link/continuwuati...

Meow! Mrrp mau mow. Meow: jade.ellis.link/blog/2026/04...

It is with profound sadness that the MetaBrainz Board of Directors announces the unexpected passing of our Founder and Executive Director, Rob Kaye. Robert’s vision and leadership shaped MeB and left a lasting mark on the music industry and open source movement. blog.metabrainz.org/2026/02/24/r...

Ultimately you have to embrace the jank for a while so you don't get stuck in a local maxima that is ever drawing you in to crush you

i love rust i love rust i love rust

What's a cool little program that you made ages ago but are still using/updating? One of mine is github.com/JadedBlueEye... - it's a desktop GUI for a unit-aware calculator so I can do all sorts of conversions on my desktop (including currency conversions)

Client ate my thread so have a meme instead

A lot of folks know me for one or two posts, and might not know I've created nine (9!) visual explanations of computer science topics, aimed at practitioners. If you're looking for things to read this Thanksgiving, I think you'll love them. Computer science is a lot of fun, when explained well. ❤️

It's on apt. It's literally on Cargo. It's on DockerHub with ads. It's literally on nuget. You can probably find it on snap. Dude it's on portage. It's a Homebrew original. It's on pacman. You can download it on nixpkgs. You can go to pkgsrc and watch it. Log onto the Windows Store right now.

What stickers you you all have?

Finally put stickers on my laptop :3

This post is worth reading regarding git. It does raise questions about the resilience of that history if it's only in GitHub pull requests, though.

TLDR; The PSF has made the decision to put our community and our shared diversity, equity, and inclusion values ahead of seeking $1.5M in new revenue. Please read and share. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/NSF-... 🧵

Continuwuity is going vroom! Lots of cool features going on, and I'm looking forward to the stuff that's already in the next release

Hey @ash.pink, do you have any plans with github.com/juice49/json...? ATM it's incompatible with verbatimModuleSyntax, which is causing some errors for me. Wanted to fix it + add some CI, etc

#GSOC2025 🎉 Jade Ellis built a replacement for BrainzBot’s archival function – a chat archiver that natively understands and preserves Matrix’s rich features: blog.metabrainz.org/2025/09/01/g...

me, sobbing: babe you can't just point at everything and call them valid YAML documents girlfriend, pointing at my post: valid YAML document

Being a Greta Thunberg doesn't need to mean getting up on TV either, doing advocacy is important, running that project you genuinely believe the world is better off with is important. Do shit. Even when it looks impossible.
