@schmittlauch @cwebber Or just click someone's username in a toot. That's also handled without any acct: URL involved. Basically WebFinger is only necessary for the case where you want to look someone up by @ identifier, and maybe even only for the case where you want to do that, and the server didn't already see a message from them.

@schmittlauch How do you send someone an email? Either you have that person "bookmarked" in your addressbook, or they were part of the addressing in that conversation (by introduction)

I have some more in this unfinished document github.com/cwebber/rebooting-t

@schmittlauch Webfinger makes sense indeed when you have a user@domain email style addressing expectation. That's not the only UI experience possible, and indeed it won't even be feasible if people start doing interesting things like ActivityPub + tor onion services. Something something petnames here.

sorry, I mean

I don't know how to blit many in a way that's performant (when doing a fresh draw)

I ported the Racket Game of Life demo I did from big-bang to lux in Racket. It was an easy port.

I still don't know how to blit many objects on the screen at once in either, though...

@schmittlauch Subscription should work without webfinger I think...? It's a Follow activity to the actor's id, so...

Nice to see a blogpost on the Mastodon blog about implementing a basic ActivityPub server blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/06/

(Though technically webfinger isn't needed for activitypub, but it is for mastodon interop!)

@Elizafox so you can harass me with your drones??? NO THANKS ELISA

indiana was boring to drive through

will oaklahoma also be boring to drive through??? place your bets folks

I can be down with the Ace of Bass + gloomy skies aesthetic

On the road with @mlemweb, a cat, a rat, and the last of our stuff that isn't in the moving van. See you tomorrow Easthampton, MA!
