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.

Blog post: Why we must oppose the new copyright directive (It's pretty bad) https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/06/why-we-must-oppose-the-new-copyright-directive/
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
Just search for https://toot.matereal.eu/users/schmittlauch instead of @schmittlauch.
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 https://blog.joinmastodon.org/2018/06/how-to-implement-a-basic-activitypub-server/
(Though technically webfinger isn't needed for activitypub, but it is for mastodon interop!)

@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
