@evan @djsf @bengo Hmm I think maybe the difference is I'd like them to implement but not be in charge. The power dynamics would be so imbalanced compared to anything else. IMO it'd be nice if AP was more like HTTP where we had the core more set in stone unlike how stuff like Group Ware and email got turned into something non–corpo impls couldn't coexist with easily.

@evan @djsf @bengo I'm only willing to bet that if Google and or Facebook have more sway over ActivityPub that it'll lead to another XMPP EEE moment. "Gmail 2: the death of mastodon"

@evan @djsf @bengo I don't disagree with that statement. I'm just not a fan of large corporations being at the streering wheel. We already have a great ecosystem and community of folks working on implementations. They should be in charge since they're the ones most affected.

My hot take is that the and specs are fine. Having some more standards for working with groups might be nice but honestly I'm happy with how much folks are able to do already and how many implementations are out there that can work together. This is from a few months of working on a new implementation. Honestly there's been a decent amount of docs spread around the place to go off of.

@evan @djsf @bengo How about dinner at a nice ramen place if we end up at a conference or something? :P

@evan @djsf @bengo I'm sure there's lovely people with good intentions in these companiws hut giving their overlords power over what is currently a mish mash of communities working together will just enable the capitalist misery machine to do it's job of turning human suffering into profit one way or another

@evan @djsf @bengo I'm willing to bet money that if any of the big corpos get their grasp on the fediverse they will enshittify it within the next five years.

@djsf @evan @bengo Why are corpos even at the table? It should be instances and open source implementations that work on this stuff. Like what Facebook is going to come in and be like "Oh we need such and such thing in the standard" and the folks at gaycommunists.gunclub need to suddenly break everything in order to support it?

lol looks like my household is infested with covid so I can't socialize for a lil while 🥲

Growing a start-up bro with half baked ideas full of the most recent buzzwords on my back so I can get venture capital.

By modulating air through a series of slits he makes sounds like:

"biiitcoooin"
or
"A I..."

When they try to hand him checks I reach out and grab them from underneath.

@talon btw from what I recall the web audio api is pretty close to what's available in Open AL. Have you checked the various language bindings there?

@talon Yeah my choice for using node was to make it easier to reuse as many libraries as possible and to reduce the burdon on getting c++ dependencies to build cross platform. TTS and STT is one of those things that's hard to get working on Linux even with all the stuff in Chromiums codebase :x

Would love to experience more audio-first games though.

@talon I started doing some of this in my "webrun" project a few years back. I'm still very much into it. See also, exokit but that was focused more on 3d graphics without the browser renderer.

I'm pretty glad that the number of things I'm deeply stressed about had been cut down by like 60% over thr past couple weeks 😅 Sadly some things are looming and out of my control but at least I can check off some of the ones I can actually influence.

My lease got approved so I can stop stressing about it 🥳🥳🥳

hex editor but it’s for digital spellbooks

Downloadable software is great because you can keep using it if you like it and the developers have to make you like their new thing enough to buy it.
Beats these SaaS landlords that charge you money to install cameras in your bathroom and won't fix the A/C.

Don't rush over to Godot Engine, it's not really advanced enough to buy Wētā Workshop or integrate gambling or spyware platforms into it's runtime
