My brother came over yesterday and we spent most of the time talking about capabilities, petnames, DIDs, and the elusive federated MUD.

I think I have all the final pieces I didn't understand now to be able to design the infrastructure of the ever-elusive federated MUD (and yes it will be "activitypub compatible" mostly, though you will likely use a different "inbox" for a game stream).

The biggest challenge will be finding the time to code it, and a decent UI.

I guess normal people have weekends.

time to board the next plane

@nolan @newton Oooh! Fediverse coffee party?

@gargron I highly recommend not being on linkedin

@davidpgil We have to get to PR this month, hopefully by the 14th, at worst *maybe* the 28th. There is no deadline extension after that. We fail, AP won't be accepted as a W3C recommendation. That would be quite a blow after having come so far.

I need to make the call for implementation reports tonight or at worst tomorrow.

The test suite is running so at least that's good but I feel I need to check my own implementations against it before I ask others to. I'm working on that now.

So close to being done with ActivityPub, but not there yet. tbh I'm burnt out nearly beyond capacity, but I can't really stop now :\

Really look forward to this month being over, whether we make it or break it on AP as a standard.

Definitely reach out, do your best, care for those around you. But if you lost someone, it wasn't your fault, which is surprisingly a hard thing to accept.

Take care of each other, do your best, be a receptive audience, and hopefully we can all make it as okay as we can.

Good luck out there, friends.

I'm seeing a lot of posts about "reach out to your loved ones" and those are def good, 100%.

But some of the posts also kind of imply that if you push harder to reach out you can prevent suicide. It may be true sometimes but not always, and that's not a helpful narrative: it sends the wrong message that you *should* feel responsible for someone's suicide. One of the hardest things about dealing with suicide is accepting: it's not your fault. (cotd ...)

Tipsy's death kind of hit me today harder than I would have expected; I didn't know her well at all but I did get used to seeing her post on here. It also brought back memories of losing one of my best friends to suicide a few years ago. (cotd...)

RIP Tipsy :(

New CR (Candidate Recommendation) of ActivityPub out! Hopefully the last before PR (Proposed Recommendation)! https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/
