@Elizafox org-mode is a reason enough to use Emacs

Fediverse lambdamoo party?

Here's the user story I wrote up. This is 2.5 years old, and I'd change a lot of things today, but fun to think about anyway: http://sebsauvage.net/paste/?dac92674b6e443ff#axe+iNe/3ndpH5OM50yNh1jfkcdKcegQAUUAZq3cMdU=

is the idea federated MUD? It's come up a few times and yes it's an amazing thing to think about

My goal is eventually to be able to implement the full "network spaces desiderata" http://saraswat.org/desiderata.html

Hey ho
Hey hey
The DMCA
Ain't okay

Oh yeah, re- #introductions

I'm Christopher Allan Webber. I work on federation and decentralized web standards. In particular I'm co-editor of ActivityPub, a federation standard that Mastodon and a few other projects use. I'm a free software/culture advocate; at one point I was tech lead at Creative Commons but now I'm independent. I also co-founded MediaGoblin and these days I work on Guile/Guix/8sync. Expect obscure tech history, Lisp nerd-outs, leftie uspol stuff, and low self esteem.

@sydneyfalk I've suggested that Christopher Allen, twitter-cwebber, and I all do a "Name Collisions Panel" at some conference...

With Christopher Allen and I co-authoring https://github.com/WebOfTrustInfo/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-fall2017/blob/master/draft-documents/smarm.md I now have a name collision bound to a conference which was largely about avoiding those

Finally the right to free speech doesn't mean you have authority to make people listen to you. Part of freedom of speech is the freedom to filter, to the extent you have possible, the information you listen to. You have the right to speak and to listen, but not to make someone listen, and not to force someone to give you a platform.

SocialCG minutes up. We spent most of it talking about decentralized anti-abuse tooling! https://www.w3.org/wiki/SocialCG/2017-10-11/minutes

@clacke Available as a package in Guix! :)

PS: the texinfo version was also used as a basis to craft this beautiful HTML version: https://sarabander.github.io/sicp/

@deadsuperhero @bob @colomar @Angle It's troubling also to hear this kind of messaging on a decentralized network, by a person who seems to be advocating them. We hear these attacks of mis-conflation a lot. Same is regularly applied against PGP/GPG and Tor and etc as terrorist tools but I hope you don't believe that. What about email self-hosting? What about... anything libre?

This is a classic intellectual trap @BryanLunduke ... don't fall for it, and please don't encourage it :\

TRAIN UPDATE: Being on a train, still good

looks like I'm gonna have wifi this whole train ride prepare yourself for train shitposts

@CobaltVelvet @Elizafox This is the whole reason that when I hear people say "Star Trek is the most realistic / hard scifi show" I'm like hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm uhhhhhhhhhhh

Whitepaper I'm drafting with Mark S. Miller (!!!) on building a capabilities system on top of Linked Data Signatures

https://github.com/cwebber/rebooting-the-web-of-trust-fall2017/blob/master/draft-documents/lds-obcap/lds-obcap.md

Also HOLY SHIT MARK S. MILLER OFFERED TO BE CO-AUTHOR ON A WHITEPAPER WITH ME OMG

People are so excited about the fediverse at Rebooting Web of Trust!

@Aerdan @awilfox @staticsafe @Elizafox @CobaltVelvet ActivityPub can function without this kind of user discovery; the intention to not rely on Webfinger was very explicit in the group in the decision to make it Follow Your Nose. That doesn't mean it can't work with it, as we just discussed... and it already does today with Mastodon!

ps the fediverse is great thx for the company everyone <3
