Still appreciate it :)
But I have to admit, our codebase is not really the best place to start learning PHP 😅 But maybe you could start by taking part in code-reviews here and there. Even without knowledge of language details someone with a fresh view can spot things in the algorithms and general structure.

TBH I didn't use the Docker dev setup much myself. I switched to the Devcontainer setup (see here). Maybe I forgot to put some tweaks in the docs, so if it does not work, let me know.
Devontainers together with a good IDE are very useful as one does not litter the root file system with dependencies and configuring the debugger is more straightforward.

Even just you considering it is good to know, as it means there are people who want to work on the software they use regularly :)

Introducing FediDB Software Comparison, Lemmy vs Mbin vs Piefed
Very cool. I was looking forward to something like this coming into existence or else I might have done it (probably with worse UI/UX than you did :D ).
And I'm glad to see that Mbin is still included in the list of major threadiverse platforms.

FYI sending a code for login seems not to work for fedia.io. Login via code in my profile works.

I heard you like desktops, so I put a desktop in your desktop in your desktop
kwin_wayland supports launching Wayland displays inside a Wayland display. This can be used to launch KDE Plasma inside these windowed displays, and that recursive.
A GitHub with the script is here.

A friend of mine and I had a discussion why Browser add workspaces or side-panel like views inside them as I think the usage of multiple windows archives the same effect: separating a bunch of tabs.
They had the argument that it benefits as many windows get hard to handle when you try to find the right one in the taskbar after minimizing one.
So I had the idea "That's a good point. But why limit it to Browsers and Co and wait for them to implement such stuff (other example is tmux with terminals)". So I started researching and found a Mastodon post (sorry, but I forgot where it was) that showed a Plasma shell inside a Wayland window. With some tinkering I came up with this script.
Now to answer your question: it can help to organize a lot of windows, but each Plasma instance takes about 200 MB RAM and also on my computer the main Plasma instance kept crashing after some minutes.

A tool for coordinating artwork placement
Thanks for posting this ^^
The tool is made by me, but I somehow didn't consider posting about it.

CANVAS 2026 IS LIVE
Attention everyone, make sure to set the coordinates of the template image to 0,0 when using Cotemplate. Multiple people already started drawing with offset because of this.

I'm happy that my tool is useful for some, so thanks for brining it up :)
@[email protected] I would be glad if it gets more attention. The usecase described by misericordiae is exactly one I had in mind (another one is that finding free areas is less difficult with a global template). If you need any more information before linking it somewhere public, feel free to comment or DM.

A meta-package to prevent out-of-sync mesa-freeworld
Reply in thread
I really have no idea.
Also I have to admit that my approach is quite conservative.
Not every mesa update may be incompatible with the freeworld packages, but my package holds them back until RPMFusion published an update themselves.
