I finally did it

I finally unsubscribed from a single high-volume mailing list I wasn't reading

I believe I deserve one of those millennial trophies kthx

@Antanicus I'll be honest :) It took me a long time... and I'm ActivityPub co-editor! We originally brought on @tsyesika because it was clear she understood federation concepts better than I did.

Of course I got it eventually, but I felt I could have gotten it sooner. I'm a very story/example-oriented learner. One goal in writing the ActivityPub overview was to give a story that hopefully made it easier for people to follow it: https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#Overview

PSA: Don't use the term "dark web". Use the term "private web" instead. Thanks.

I am really excited to see that multiple projects are implementing ActivityPub right now and have excitement behind them.

The fediverse needs multiple implementations. I'm sure we all agree that one email client software or one email server software wouldn't be good. To escape monoculture, a protocol needs multiple happy and healthy implementations.

@profoundlynerdy @HerraBRE I think Namecoin is really too much like DNS to be the *root* naming system. However that doesn't mean Namecoin, something Namecoin-like, or even DNS are entities that should not exist... to the contrary, we will always want naming hubs, but in a petnames system dns and namecoin are equal participants among many.

I heard about Racketscript but hadn't actually tried it. Holy shit: http://rapture.twistedplane.com:8080/

oh yeah I gave a talk on how distributed p2p social games (Massively Multiplayer Online Secure Environments) is "the only logical conclusion to our work" at IIW.... here are the slides: https://dustycloud.org/misc/mmose.pdf

@kaniini @jerry @gargron @lx Yes okay, I understand now. Anyway yes it does do that, and I do think it's the correct behavior. IIRC OStatus and Diaspora do this too

A lot of new people followed me overnight. Hello! Nice to speak to you! Expect a lot of decentralized tech posts, FOSS stuff, obscure-ish programming language stuff (mostly Lisp oriented), and leftie politics.

Damn! Racket has a version of Make https://docs.racket-lang.org/make/overview.html

I've been wanting something like this in Guile for years, why does Racket have everything

Wow the original Common Lisp source code to Reddit is super readable https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit1.0

The Trump administration wants heavy surveillance over social media of anyone crossing the border: https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/29/politics/immigrants-social-media-information/index.html?sr=fbCNN032918immigrants-social-media-information0127PMVODtop

Folks, the stuff we're working on matters. We need to bring social media underground. Put users in control.

Okay come on, *everyone* must want this

Thanks to @ted for filing it :)

Excited to see Peertube get more attention! https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16714453
