We're in Easthampton! Arrived last night, actually...

@dansup @nightpool You could absolutely have a Mastodon-like interface without Webfinger btw... type @, and it brings up a list of possible recipients which might not even be the webfinger addresses but people who match this in their name who are in your "addressbook"... mastodon already does this mostly. If I type "@karen" I can complete @aldeka even though she has a different username. Pump.io clients use this to select the user's id, but link with their display name as the link text

in PA and scenery is currently gorgeous

@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.

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...

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!)

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!

@cwebber @davidrevoy oooh so close!!! looking forward to seeing you and playing games

@rowan heh, rust temple is hot now and I constantly have to remember to turn off firefox, sitting in the background, eating half my cpu and cooking my laptop. Blender is relatively lighter than a fricken' web page
