For the inaugural entry of ![email protected] to Lemmyvision, the community voted to submit "Hunting Soul"!

This was an insert song created for the second season of Dan Da Dan. The group performing the song is credited as HAYASii, but that is actually a fictional group created for the show as well (pretty clearly based on the real-life band of X Japan). A fun fact about the English version of the song that was included in the dubbed version of the show is that the lead singer of HAYASii is none other than Marc Hudson, the lead singer of DragonForce.

Today we’re announcing that OpenAI will acquire Astral⁠, bringing powerful open source developer tools into our Codex ecosystem.

Astral has built some of the most widely used open source Python tools, helping developers move faster with modern tooling like uv, Ruff, and ty. These tools power millions of developer workflows and have become part of the foundation of modern Python development. As part of our developer-first philosophy, after closing OpenAI plans to support Astral’s open source products. By bringing Astral’s tooling and engineering expertise to OpenAI, we will accelerate our work on Codex and expand what AI can do across the software development lifecycle.

Tapping and holding an image in a comment sometimes brings up a share menu where you can copy the image link, etc. and sometimes it just collapses the comment. From doing some testing, I have found that whenever the image has alt text in the markdown is when it just collapses. So...

...an image in a comment written this way will bring up a share menu if tapped and held:

However, an image written this way will just collapse the comment:

Here is the full series available to read on Mangadex (under a CC license), and direct link to Chapter 1 (of 16).

If you had never heard of this series before, Ubunchu! was published in the Official Ubuntu Magazine Japan periodically between the years of 2008-2013 (with some digital extras afterwards found in chapter 16 on mangadex). The series was released using a CC license and subsequent translations are also CC (plus the translators have directly communicated with the original author).

Chapters 1-8 were translated years ago, but the final chapter was only translated just a couple days ago.

Due to when it was written and published, it is a bit of a time capsule. You can relive some of the formative linux and Ubuntu events of the 21st century such as:

::: spoiler The rise of linux mint

::: spoiler OpenOffice & LibreOffice

For reasons unrelated to the api, rimu recently pushed piefed.social to the main branch for now. The piefed.social swagger page was acting as the home to the stable branch api docs, so that was no longer available anywhere. To remedy the situation in a more permanent fashion I created an instance whose sole purpose is to just live on the stable branch and serve the swagger docs.

So, going forward, here is where you can find piefed api docs. I have updated the project's main readme accordingly.

• Stable branch: https://stable.wjs018.xyz/api/alpha/swagger
• Development branch (either works, I have ssh access to both to keep them updated):
  • https://crust.piefed.social/api/alpha/swagger
