Christopher Lemmer Webber @cwebber@octodon.social

So I have an announcement. I sent an email to my work saying that I wanted to be able to focus on my work on taking advancing the federated social web to the next level. Read: better security / abuse resistance, richer interactions, virtual worlds.

How will I be funded to do this? I don't know. I do know that the state of the political world scares me enough that I feel I have to do this. If you want to support me: https://www.patreon.com/cwebber

Wish me luck. More updates soon.

privacy is your local scope where you perform your local reasoning

maybe people who don't think privacy is important are okay with programming by only mutating global variables

the safest way to use computers is still abstinence

Hi! You may most likely know me as co-editor of ActivityPub, the decentralized social network message which is more-than-likely how you're actually receiving this message! https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/

Other things you may want to know:

- I'm a user freedom activist (free software, free culture)
- I post a lot of leftie politics stuff
- Expect lots of tech posts around lisp, decentralized network stuff, obscure-ish programming history

seriously unlawful arrests are a serious issue but "mad dogging" what

"mommmmm"
"what"
"mommmmmmmmmmm"
"gary what is it I'm trying to drive"
"mom he won't stop looking at me"
"well just arrest him for a crime"
"which crime though mom"
"I don't know you said a crime was committed I'm trying to drive"

I guess it's only been a bit over a week since I switched from just-thinking-mode to actually coding in the Spritely Goblins captp branch. Things are progressing maybe faster than I was giving myself credit.

blasting the Imperial March as cops walk through is a great meme and I hope it spreads https://twitter.com/taylor_ashbrook/status/1269095533995589632

I love #; for commenting out expressions so much

ok I guess this is just a kind of vattp

captp over carrier pigeon

if you think that cap-talk thread of me learning how captp works is an incoherent pile of nonsense, it's a good thing you haven't seen my notes-to-self in my org-mode file

Turned on the AC again in my office.

I feel kind of bad about it; I'm perfectly aware that there's very good evidence that air conditioning is not sustainable.

But I have a lot of work to do and I can't think straight when I get too hot...
