fedi meta 

I like my fedi timeline right now because similarly to my twitter feed I end up getting just the tip of "the discourse" so I can kinda know what's going on without getting overwhelmed by it

LMAO already vibrating in place because I thought of some stuff I need to do.

Gonna be the biggest test of self control after not ignoring alarms when I'm feeling sleepy.

@nonlinear With full html and js support to embed little apps in the toots 😻

Alright. Time for my first vacation off work (for two weeks) since I started working full time. 🤪

No extra obligations, just relaxing and not focusing on productivity or commitments.

Social media is NOT about numbers of likes and retweets, it’s about finding out weird stuff the CIA did in the 60’s

Page 37 of this PDF really spelled it out for me. :O

Each of the "stores" can be IPLD Prolly Trees and the connections can be via distributed compute pipelines. 😍

Even the query layer can be distributed across multiple workers in order to take advantage of locality and parallel processing.

Who needs earthly pleasures when you have distributed database engineering. 😎

Just learned more about how HTAP databases work and can't stop thinking about creating pipelines for auto-generating p2p search indexes over raw p2p data collections. 🤓

Java programmers should be communists all they do is focus on class

Wrote up my blog post on databases on top of / Prolly Trees. Hoping to switch up how databases are approached with a focus on performance and the ability to combine datasets determenistically.

@technobaboo Yeah, maybe once you have some of the foundations stabilized you'll have more time to look into what sort of stuff can be built on top of them. :o

Luckily the state of VR/AR hardware still sucks (especially with open platforms) so there's plenty of time to iterate before people can actually start depending on this stuff. :P

@mauve A lot of the problems I've had to solve involve coordinating rich interactions between multiple programs that have a separation of concerns that is intuitive to people (to avoid permissions and therefore permission fatigue) while also allowing maximum functionality.

@technobaboo Yeah absolutely! I think your work on stardust is some of the most exciting in terms of VR environments. :o

I'm not sure if you've been attending the omi scripting group meetings, but that might be a good place to discuss standards with others so we can make objects more interoperable (assuming that's a shared value in the first place 🤪).

Might also find a way to get funding from Protocol Labs or something to work on loading interactive objects from IPFS via WASM or the such.

@deltatux @andrew regarding clients, if more clients used the activitypub api instead of the mastoson api we'd be able to reuse them accroaa the fedi way more easily :x

I sort of want a set of Unix-ish single purpose command line tools for ActivityPub with which to do things like:
`readnote --wait @foo@example.com | jq '.object.content' | striptag > foonote.txt`
Doing auth and the rest with cURL is a PITA but with a little automation fun could be had. Someone has to have already made this, right?

All I want for Christmas is a domesticated raccoon that wants to eat lasagna with me & go on quirky adventures. It would also be nice if the raccoon could do magic but I understand that is asking a lot and therefore, it is not required.

@andrew I think this means that the fediverse is in need of a "private groups" feature in general that's not just tied to instances and the instance moderators. E.g. a private group can span many instances and have cross-instance moderation for adding and removing members. 🤔

It would probably not be a mastodon feature but a new fedi-capable system.

@andrew but then only ottawans on your local instance can see it and ones that are on others (like myself) can't. Do I to choose your instances moderators and infra to engage in my phyaically local community? Multi account setups make this easier I suppose 🤔

I've got spatial computing on the mind.

Had some chats today about what interaction with virtual objects would even look like. So far it's a big question mark.

Another is the interfaces that should be exposed to 3d objects to be able to make them interactable but which keep them sandboxed from wreaking havoc on the rest of your space.
