IMO Clients for all the fedi apps should prefer to use the ActivityPub Client-Server API as good praxis regardless of the backend they might be tailored to. 🤷

For those that have been seeing me ramble about this every chance I get. We've submitted the initial PR for our spec.

This is a great building block for building databases which use sparsely replicated indexes to quickly load just the data that's needed.

Once we get some indexing going on top of these things, waiting for stuff to sync will be something you barely need to think about in P2P social apps! 🎉

@hank This website should just be part of the unicode spec!

The fact that there are a bunch of 😻😹 cat emoji with different expression seems to beg for the same being the same of the 😈 devil emoji.

Sometimes I'm happy devil, but a devil do be feeling other emotions sometimes.

Ooo, just had a great idea for how to make 3d graph layout easier for flowchart-like constructs.

Basically, what if you use a regular format like graphviz for your usual 2d layout stuff. But then if you place something in a subgraph it goes on a different `z` layer. Such that you can have a bunch of layers but can still have that flowchart arrangement. E.g. you could link up and down between two layers and the nodes would be placed close together.

Juggling a billion projects is hard. Gonna try to reduce hours next month as much as I can to give my body and mind a break.

Is there a client for Mastodon that purely speaks in ActivityPub rather than mastodon-specific APIs?

Ahhh, the initial spec of IPLD prolly trees is almost done and we're about to start writing a golang impl based on the spec that'll integrate with other IPLD things more easily.

Next we're going to be working on indexing data on top of it, and from there' it's a small jump to bridging the fediverse wtih p2p by publishing indexed activity streams onto IPLD!

If you're feeling lonely this holiday, just toot "if you can't push to prod on thanksgiving you're not a real devops" and a whole community of people will keep you company. In fact you'll even get a job offer from Netflix.

Did you know that #Mastodon supports #RSS feeds?

That means you can follow your favorite people and topics right inside of Thunderbird!

→ Just add ".rss" to the URL ←

For example, our Mastodon URL "mastodon.online/@thunderbird"

becomes

"mastodon.online/@thunderbird.r"

What about #hashtags? YEP!

Let's look at #OpenSource. From our instance, it is: "mastodon.online/tags/opensourc"

So, we just append .rss and it works!

"mastodon.online/tags/opensourc"

REALLY useful if you don't want to miss a thing!

The hardest problem in computer science is to make a social network without nazis

I wish there was some format for DnD which could be a lot more async at the speed of an email thread or forums. Or the speed of someone casually playing a chess game with a friend over the course of a week, paying attention to it when it's their move and they happen to have time.

Cancelling plans is okay. Putting yourself first is okay. Going for a long walk is okay. Abandoning society is okay. Moving into a cave with a family of raccoons is okay. Giving them tiny swords & shields is okay. Do what you need to do to cope.

gender and sexuality 

Monosexuals are whack. It's Adam AND Eve, not Adam OR Eve! 😤

Just tried out debirdify and it looks like a lot of the folks I follow on twitter are already online.

Also useful to find folks I blocked 🤪

I wish I had some clones so we could work on more stuff than my individual body can do. 😭

There's like a dozen things I want done but I can handle 4 at most at a time in practice.

Sounds like the folks at @capyloon are starting to work on the writable protocol handlers in the new Rust implementation of IPFS.

This will lead to apps being portable between our environments!

Spec writing is hard. It takes so much time to get stuff right, especially compared to publishing some code with maybe a few tests to back it up. 😅

But hey! We've got v0 of our IPLD Prolly Tree implementation up for anyone that'd like to take a look. 😁
