Ah yes, after saying to myself I'm gonna take the week off, a bunch of urgent ish stuff landed on my lap and I'm stuck doing work. :P
At least it's less than my usual load!
It'd be cool if all the Brands™️ went off to make their own bubble on the fediverse.

I read this elsewhere: If trusted news outlets would start offering #Mastodon instances to their staff, that would bring some sort of verification and visibility. Think social.nytimes.com, social.heise.de etc. I'd love to read more from trusted journalists on the #fediverse and this could greatly help. (Again, not my idea but couldn't find the original author.) Boosts for visibility would be great. Reminder: Favorites don't help as on this other platform.

Optimising #Mastodon = designing flows that encourage people to leave mastodon.social for other instances, not accepting any more new members on mastodon.social, and making design changes that limit how much a single instance can scale.
A single instance that can scale to host hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of people, is not a design success in decentralisation, it’s a design failure. (It’s a design success in #BigTech.)

Are there some "weird twitter"-like fedi accounts I should follow?
Low key wanna build a minimal mastodon client and publish it on the p2p web. :x
Peep the 7 min mark where I try to do a live coding demo and have to sit on the floor to try to see the screen. 🤪
Also, here's another talk I did at #IPFS Camp 2022 on #Agregore

My nose was kinda congested and I was going on 4 hours of sleep as usual so I'm glad I managed to get it working at all. 😂
Main takeaway is that I think this #localfirst web stuff is important for creating resilient software in the face of global climate change and political turmoil.
Here's my talk on what #IPLD is at #IPFS Camp 2022!

I was the third talk I was doing in as many hours so excuse me if I was a bit tired. :P
Still pretty happy with how it turned out.
Just started watching "The Shivering Truth" and PFFR delivers as always. 💜 It's like a waking nightmare.
I know there's some software out there for mirroring twitter feeds, but is there anyone out there setting that up as a service? I don't have time to mess around with setting stuff up but I'd really like more of my twitter feed mirrored to my mastodon feed.

A thread: Job openings in programming and ops in open source software/research, developing frameworks for distributed applications, working with @cwebber at the Spritely Institute: https://octodon.social/@cwebber/109202062994483288
I think the universe is telling me to do something with lisp 🥲
One of my nose piercings fell out some time in the last 14 hours and I have no clue where it could be. 🙃

https://toot.cafe/@andrew_chou/109088423048759654 This turned out great. A small browser chatroom in 80 lines, all web APIs (no frameworks). Thanks @andrew_chou!
A lot of people scoff at building 'serious' apps without a framework, but what if it's just that the apps we're building are too big?
Stitch together small, completely disparate applets like into an ecosystem of interoperable tools feels like an approach that's never been fully realised.

That moment when you realize Fedi could be implemented with RSS feeds and actually nothing truly innovative has happened online since 1999

https://MapKnitter.org will be going offline at the end of the month due to lack of funds, which is very sad!
1000s of maps of environmental injustices people have made over the years
And also http://SpectralWorkbench.org too.
database of 200k+ community-contributed open source spectra.
Both will be archived on archive.org
If you want to check and help
http://publiclab.org/mapknitter

It's really fucking hard and violent blow for environmental activism and community based open environmental investigation

Some of these DEFCON exploits feel like a strange kind of science-fiction to me.

Like this one 👆🏻 It's literally the first time I hear about electronically-locked shopping carts wheels, and thus the necessity for a smart trick that allows them to be... what normal shopping carts are in other parts of the world that haven't gone completely insane yet.
I feel you could make up an infinity of those just to poke fun at stupid smart objects and excessive technosolutionism.
"Someone hacked a butter knife to make it work with any brand of bread!"
This trend can't die soon enough.
