Another good reason for the veg* MREs: contractors are currently doing work which makes the kitchen very stressful to be in. I can construct a whole lot of meals in another room with just dry ingredients, jar them up, add hot water later when needed...

@trwnh It would be tomorrow at 15:00 UTC. I just need to set up the page...

Gotta get through my queue...

@fsnk No coincidence... the "Veg* MREs" are really just backpacking meals that you eat when you aren't necessarily backpacking! Shhhhhhh ;)

@dthompson counter to your counterpoint: "gif" is pronounced "skippy"

@trwnh Cool... think you would be able to make the next meeting then? :)

Oh, I guess I should set up a SocialCG meeting announcement for tomorrow https://www.w3.org/wiki/SocialCG

Honestly I am pretty tired but tomorrow would be a good day to sync up on many of the things we discussed at APConf. My energy level is low. Are people interested? If so, I'll set up the page.

@lain In the OcapPub document I initially put "True Names" but MarkM objected that it was too similar to Vernor Vinge's True Names https://web.archive.org/web/20010209031115/http://progoth.resnet.gatech.edu/truename/truename.htm (the ultimate cyberpunk fediverse story, from 1981 at that!) which the ocap community has taken to refer to as where your online identity gets unmasked and you get beaten with a rubber hose until you reveal your private keys

At least it was more fun to say "forwarding to @lain's soul" in the unconference session

That and the Self-Authenticating Designators (SAD) conversation

The infinite sadness of ActivityPub's soul

@dmitri @karen I mean, DB's experience is a good argument for it, but I think you should have seen just how shocked and full of objection MarkM was. That community is very exhausted from many naming bikesheds.

I feel like both sides make compelling arguments. zcaps are at least not too terrible IMO but... well actually MarkM did say "that's terrible... terrible". I think it would be good to have a conversation to find out why.

But I suspect it'll be a hard one.

OMG so so excited about the work we're doing on secure user interfaces at Rebooting Web of Trust this week!

And ActivityPub Conf this weekend!

@nilsreichert how about harbringer of the philiharmonicas cult https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ti-bpjcPD40

@clacke @emsenn that's how I pronounce cwebber, but bkuhn had a text-to-speech programming running on old-identica and it pronounced it kwebber

@mala @cathal @patterfloof haha, am I the main source of fediverse Guix radicalization

@emacsen and I got our Python and Racket Datashards implementations talking to each other tonight, just in time for our demos tomorrow!

@gargron @emsenn @tmarble A perfect question for the group tomorrow, and I have a suggested response (it involves edge names) https://github.com/cwebber/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-spring2018/blob/petnames/draft-documents/making-dids-invisible-with-petnames.md

But I think you've provided a useful framing for us to address in the paper!
