Parade is an experimental operating system... that would serve a environment able to... exchange content with other Parade instances, via the basic primitives.
There are no "users", "files" or "applications", in this operating system...
There is no linear hierarchy tree...
One of the goals of this operating system is to be fully operable by voice, think screenless computing...

There's a lot there already, and we haven't even gotten to Part 2, the "How to Build It" section yet. I'll begin work on that tomorrow.
What's here already is more or less an explanation of *why* OcapPub is taking the particular direction it is taking, and why other approaches run into serious problems.
So #Mastodon has announced they are in the process of removing #OStatus support their codebase. Hopefully this will light a fire under the collective arse of whoever is managing the #GNUsocial project, and the dozen or so #fediverse instances still running it, and get #ActivityPub support finished and merged.
#Twitter has finally reinstated #Unity4J due to mounting outrage over censorship. Please follow the account again if you've been mysteriously removed from their followers list.
The @Unity4J@twitter.com Twitter Team would like to announce that we have been officially restored!
Thank you to @jack@twitter.com and @TwitterSupport@twitter.com, along with our many, many supporters around the globe for taking action to get this account restored.
