@lain I mean, based on the name, we can assume that once the water is gone, all that's left is pure melon!

I also really want to try making watermelon chips http://www.dehydratorreview.net/recipes/watermelon-chips

@gnomon I made it for the purpose of the dehydrated meals I'm making. So, it would go into the places you would normally add miso. ;P

So I made miso powder, and it rehydrates fairly well. You can also put it in a container with a shaker and shake it on food, where it hits it like a salty umami bomb. Technique here: https://billievethat.wordpress.com/2009/11/23/miso-dust/

The main mistake I made: I didn't spread it quite thin enough. Because of that I had to dry it for a really long time. Towards the end I got impatient and upped the temperature; it ended up giving it a "toasty" flavor which is also interesting but would be nice to try again without that.

@sl007 @chillicampari @rgggn Oh and @chillicampari's partner too (who helped record), but I don't know if they are on the fediverse?!

Let's thank @sl007, @chillicampari and the kind folks at conf.tube for the hard work. (Which is at least @rgggn :))

Hello people! You may have noticed that @apconf is now online, and *some* of the videos have started to appear!

So far:

- My keynote:
"ActivityPub: past, present, future" https://conf.tube/videos/watch/2b9a985b-ccdd-49ce-a81b-ed00d2b47c85
- Mark Miller's keynote: “Architectures of Robust Openness” https://conf.tube/videos/watch/7a772faf-9a32-4692-b5cd-4dbabfdd9797

More are coming... the server is working away at making them available :)

@anna @mewmew @lain That's not a post against jokes, it's a post in support of good messaging. Hope that's clear.

@anna @mewmew More or less what I'm trying to say. I don't think Pleroma nor the Pleroma devs (including @lain obv) are Nazis; had a great time getting to know many at APConf, and quite frankly I think Pleroma in some ways is the most technically interesting of the ActivityPub implementations.

But it's hard to advocate for Pleroma when it sometimes seems like the project makes itself jokingly unclear on some of these things. I suspect that limits some of Pleroma's growth.

@lain @mewmew @anna Sorry, I'm super tired and my brain is smearing things everywhere, apparently back and forth between the two characters referenced. You're right that she wasn't executed.

She was convicted as a nazi agent though.

I don't know much about either. And I'm pretty tired. Just commenting about messaging.

@mewmew @anna The first person (Coco Chanel) that @lain had as their avatar was bona-fide executed as a German WWII spy.

The person that @lain then switched it to (Mata Hari) was apparently executed as a German WWI spy. I did a very lazy lookup on wikipedia and misread it, making a jump from a quick scan and assuming they were in the same category.

But maybe that's the joke. If so though, I'd say that reinforces the "not helpful on confusing messaging" aspect.

@lain @anna Ok, apparently true. Still confusing though.

But, that's up to you all to sort out.

@lain @anna Gotta say that I don't think the "ha ha look another nazi" move is really entertaining or a terribly wise move on your part...

I was going to say "but it's your project", but I know there's a bunch of people in the Pleroma dev team who keep trying to fight back against that image... can't be easy with those kinds of moves.

@lain probably doesn't do much to help your campaign of arguing against "pleroma is run by nazis" though

@lain well it sure is the part that makes the screenshot "complicated"!

@lain Hm, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coco_Chanel#Activity_as_Nazi_agent sure makes that complicated

@lain Here is why I ask https://github.com/cwebber/rwot9-prague/blob/secure-uis/draft-documents/secure-user-interfaces.md#composing-a-public-message (heavily WIP)

I assume you're fine with that?
