Criticism is welcome, but remember to give constructive criticism, which includes consideration of how your criticism will affect the other person emotionally. The golden rule applies: how would you feel if you read the message was directed at you? It's hard for someone to constructively make use of criticism if receiving it is an emotional drain.

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

Reality is an insecure computing substrate.

Old computer books by Usborne https://usborne.com/browse-books/features/computer-and-coding-books/

Including this *adorable* old "Machine Code for Beginners" book https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bxv0SsvibDMTcHNXalEtYkVtU00/view

for whatever reason, I really find "this" as a one-word response really annoying

(okay yes I know what I just set myself up for)

well, there were technically two campaign videos

it's only a matter of time until someone uploads the mediagoblin campaign video to peertube

not gonna lie, I would enjoy that quasi-irony a lot!
