@lain What is the meaning behind your current avatar and display name, out of curiosity?

@sl007 @cjd What about uploading them as-is to archive.org and asking for help getting them moved onto peertube?

@emacsen here is a series of plus signs representing empathy packets +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

@cjd @tedu Admittedly I probably need to learn more about BGP

@cjd @tedu Or are you saying pull rather than push?

@cjd @tedu And how do you know you're pulling messages from Alice vs Bob? ;)

@cjd @tedu Ie, "I know that I handed this ocap to Bob specifically, so if a message comes in from here, I believe it's from Bob."

No signature required in that case.

@cjd @tedu It's possible to do message sending in a safe and intentional way *without* signatures but that probably requires ocaps.

@vaartis @rin "What saved Vi when it became Vim was it became an emacs" -- @antifuchs

In the original editor wars, before Vim, the key argument for Vi is it followed the Unix philosophy... it didn't have a scripting system and didn't need it.

@sl007 @schmittlauch @rgggn I think we're all excited to see the ActivityPub Conf videos go up. I don't know much about Peertube though; maybe someone at @Framasoft who is also interested could help give some guidance?

@liw Don't have time to summarize right now, but skim some license-review and license-discuss lists since April https://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-review_lists.opensource.org/
https://lists.opensource.org/pipermail/license-discuss_lists.opensource.org/

In the meanwhile, we have some difficult work in front of us; while again I think RMS stepping down was completely correct, we can at least say that RMS was stubbornly principled. Right now if you look at the OSI license lists, I think you can see a lot of people trying to chip away at the principles of FOSS, maybe even unintentionally.

We need to re-examine and clearly be able to articulate the reasons we are taking these positions ourselves.

I'll be reinstating my FSF membership today.

RMS resigning was the right thing to do. Still, I know this was a painful situation for many, so I'll just say: thanks for your work on free software.

@jalcine Well, consider this an offer to talk! :)

(We probably should at some point anyway!)

I let my FSF membership lapse last month, but I sent the membership team an explanation that I will not be renewing until RMS is not acting President. (I also included empathy for the FSF staff who are in a difficult position.)

Great calls with two nice FOSS friends. Making me feel more optimistic about the future.

@jalcine @cj I don't consider that butting in fwiw :)

@cj It's not bad to have leadership! We have multiple leaders in the fediverse space, but the fediverse as a whole is not predicated on any single one of them.
