@Curator Is magicavoxel FOSS? I thought it was proprietary. I'd love to be wrong...
@jorty Oh nice :) Maybe we should meet up at some point?
You're a lisper/schemer too iirc right? Maybe we should get a fediverse lisperati meetup in central MA? /cc @dthompson
Guile 3 update from Andy Wingo:

tl;dr We're well on our way to JIT-compiled code!
Despite all the stress of our stuff not having arrived yet and us not knowing when it will, I'm very excited to be here. Western MA is a temperate paradise, and especially Easthampton, where we are.
I also look forward to it arriving so I can stop being in a constant state of anxiety
getting ready for another client meeting
I look forward to our stuff arriving so I don't have to keep using a folding chair and card table for a desk setup
@craigmaloney Aw thanks! I'd prefer my brain unshaken but I'm happy to share thoughts anyway #dustycloudbrainstorms
Scheme / Guile / Racket
I've often said that I would love to take @cwebber's brain and shake it to see what all pops out because I know that anything in there will be amazing. One of the languages that he introduced me to was Scheme. Scheme is a functional language that borrows heavily from Lisp. It's a teaching language but still retains a lot of Lisp's power. I haven't explored it fully but I want to get back there again.
help I am so many exhausted

Randomly, "International" by Jim's Big Ego just came up on my playlist. Probably gave me the only ray of optimism I could get on this day.
I don't know how to get us out of this but I'm going to do my best... the best thing I know how to do is work on digital platforms that preserve peoples' civil liberties and rights to organize.
Instead of celebrating this 4th of July (we don't feel like celebrating), @mlemweb and I are going to be donating to orgs which can possibly push back.

@vasilakisfil Follow Your Nose... the idea that activitypub isn't based on "special paths", but you can traverse from link to link to find what you need
It's a linked data concept http://patterns.dataincubator.org/book/follow-your-nose.html
@downey @tomo The ActivityPub spec includes an introduction at the top that's intentionally tutorial-like https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#Overview
