Last Notes npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley The ActivityPub For WordPress project is, in a lot of ways, one of the most impressive projects in the space for what it has accomplished. Every release gets better and better, and there's a robustness to the project that I can't help but admire. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley If there's any #Godot developers out there making 3D games, I could kind of use some help / advice on how to fix this weird issue I'm having. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Once again, I humbly come to you to ask: do you know of any bloggers that write regularly about the #Fediverse, #ActivityPub, #ATproto, or anything of that nature? npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Been thinking about this. We really ought to look at what's working for mutual aid in the space. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley The #ActivityPub for #WordPress team is just crushing it. They just released 8.0.0 of the integration. It's getting better all the time. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley I honestly hate WordPress sometimes. In a minimal install, it's not so bad, but so much of the community advice to get something working is "Just install a plugin!" and suddenly you have 50+ plugins and site that's an eldritch abomination on the backend. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Bluesky absolutely got it right with ATproto: you can make any kind of client, not just microblogging, and it will seamlessly work with your Bluesky identity. Everything you post goes into your personal storage, and the clients that know how to interpret special data types are able to reach into your PDS and the timelines you're following to present that stuff. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Here's the thing: Mastodon already has a really good API. There's a whole ecosystem of clients around it, to the point that many other Fediverse implementations adopted it, so that they can use the apps. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley I think the #ActivityPub client-to-server API is extremely important and underrated. I'm glad to see the SWF and W3C group prioritizing it, because I think it has the potential to fix something that's kind of broken on the #Fediverse: too many accounts, on too many platforms that really ought to be clients. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Yeah, our operating costs are rapidly approaching 500 bucks a month. Donations help offset that, but it's been rough for a while. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Slight griping: if you launch a community instance for a video service, don't give away unlimited storage for free. It's fine in the beginning, but some people will inevitably take advantage of it. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley One pain point here is the fact that Spectra has more than 1,000 users, but about a dozen or so accounts use the most storage space. The biggest offender takes up over 1TB of our object storage quota. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Some, but a strong requirement is that I want the publication to be able to federate. We were pretty much the first publication in the network to do it, and I don't want to give up on that experiment. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Man, I forgot what a nightmare headache it is to try and work with the Twenty-TwentyFive theme for WordPress. It's something that can make decent-looking websites on the surface, but requires mental gymnastics to figure out. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley The longer I look into Blender and all the different things you can do with community plugins, the more amazed I am. The depth of this tool is astonishing. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Wow, okay, there's actually some really crazy shit in there, as far as tools go. I want to temper my expectations, it's a lot all at once, but there's some really interesting tools for buildings and architecture that might complement some of my experiments with environmental design. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Digging into it a little bit! There's a couple of promising paid Blender plugins that might get the job done for character creation, but clothing is still kind of above my competency and skill level for now. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley To be clear: I'm not planning on using Unreal Engine for game development myself, that would be insanity at this stage. I'm really enjoying Godot though, and I've been slowly exploring different ways to bring more advanced 3D tools into a workflow that fits well with the Godot engine. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley What's kind of frustrating is that attempting to search for smaller-scale projects for Linux does not yet produce much, as these big projects kind of suck all the air out of the room. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley A lot of professional-grade #GameDev tools for Linux are kind of in this weird half-implemented state, where some version of the software *kind of* exists, but there's a lot of hoops to jump through. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley The question is obviously rhetorical. It's enshittification. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Why does GitHub require you to sign in just to look at a public repo now? That sucks! npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley It's also not clear where the "Custom Home Page" settings live now... 🤔 npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Huh, does #PeerTube no longer rely on the infobox banner feature? I'm a little surprised at not seeing it anywhere, was really useful for letting people know about stuff. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley I think @npub19yg…wysk would be able to answer that better than I can. That being said, I plugged in my wallet address, and it just seemed to work? npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Everybody says this when talking about GNU Taler, but I still can't make heads or tails of how it's supposed to work. The most I'm able to grasp is that it could provide some useful infrastructure for banks and credit unions, maybe? npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Yeah, Mitra got an Honorable Mention in my writeup, mainly for pioneering this stuff way sooner than any other project did. In hindsight, XMR is kind of an odd choice...mainly because payment moves so slowly. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley I've been thinking a lot recently about #PeerTube, #Loops, #Bandwagon, and other platforms in the #Fediverse that are geared around artists. I might get flamed for this, and you're welcome to disagree, but I think the network is in dire need of having support for commerce. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley I think if I had to do it all over again with Spectra, I would've done the following things differently: npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Took a quick look at my monthly expenses, and it's not looking great. My #PeerTube instance @spectra is getting into the $400 per month range, accounting for overages in Object Storage and Network transfer. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Also, major kudos to how good AMD is on Linux these days. Wayland and Vulkan work great, and it's such a treat to be able to play so many recent games! npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Yeah, it makes me slightly regret building my own bespoke Steam machine for the living room, but I'm just happy to see Valve finally moving in this direction. It's an amazing effort, and with all the work that went into Steam Deck and Proton, I feel very optimistic. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Man, I'm so excited about this. I absolutely love my Steam Deck, and have been really hopeful about Valve making a Steam Machine push once again. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal feel like a return-to-form for the franchise. There's just enough story present, but it's all about the action. Plus, I'm convinced that the devs at Id are absolute wizards with how well they got it to run on Steam Deck with Vulkan. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Instead of Duke Nukem, I highly recommend the rebooted Wolfenstein series entries, Wolfenstein: The New Order and Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley The main reason I want this is because my wife has this habit of sharing her favorite Tumblr posts with me. Basically, we go through all of her bookmarked posts until we get back to something we saw the last time we did this. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley I've been thinking for a while about writing a simple app, because I haven't done app development before. The first thing I would love to make is a social bookmarking app for posts, that lets you save stuff into different categories. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Hey! Are you a CEO or project lead of a decentralized, open source communication platform or protocol? Are you tired of dealing with negative responses to your misinterpreted posts? npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Two apps I'd love to see for #NextCloud: a Pinterest clone, and a MovieDB app that can keep track of things I want to watch. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Procrastinated and stayed up way too late editing our latest podcast video @decentered, but it's really good, and I think you'll enjoy it. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley I procrastinated on this way too much, feel apprehensive about my ability to sum up all my thoughts and feelings on a page, but I finally wrote about #FediCon: https://deadsuperhero.com/the-fediverse-in-real-life/ npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Hey @npub1ekk…vy6m and @npub17fe…w0a6, I'm a big fan of the concept of Surf, but still kind of frustrated at some of the limitations around feed curation. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley It would be nice if there was a #PeerTube plugin to add social account fields to user profiles. Even if it were just a drop-down of various Fediverse platforms and a text field for URLs, that would be great! npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Huh, I like the way #Piefed displays #PeerTube channels. Here's how the #FediCon videos look from there:[email protected] npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley @npub1wa2…zalq is looking so freaking good. I'm super excited about the new updates coming in. #Fediverse npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Just an FYI: If you missed #FediCon, or just want to see the talks, they are being edited and uploaded to #PeerTube. There's only three talks up so far, but I am helping @npub16d5…u6mu to add more of them, and ensure that there are accurate captions and nice little thumbnails. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley No, you're absolutely right, I need to challenge that US-Centric perspective that colors my bias. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Some elements overlap between those things, like it or not. When it comes to the project of colonization, the spread of Puritanism / Protestantism had a major cultural impact on the United States, but it's not like that was the only place it was happening. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Unfortunately, a big part of it is woven into the fabric of Western civilization, particularly North America. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley These are the people I want to spend the rest of my life working with. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Question about corporate brands came up on the #Fediverse. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley "Here's a topic I know which will excite all of you: governance. Will the governance of the #Fediverse become more democratic, shift to benevolent dictatorship, or the classic open source model of 'Rage, Fork, Repeat'?" npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley "Will the Fediverse remain niche forever, or will we inevitably reach the moment where we get the notification about Mom joining the network, and everything getting turned upside down?" npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley We are losing a human connection when we see so much AI slop flooding our timelines and invading our spaces. The hope is that this will decrease over time as the novelty wears off, but who knows? npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley @npub1e9x…msz2 is hosting today's panel. I love his sense of humor and bombastic delivery. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley "The #Fediverse itself is not a third space. It is a landscape, where third spaces may occur. And your third space may be different than my third space." npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley I agree. I think the hard part is just developing a coherent strategy: establishing why municipalities should do this, helping them with setup and onboarding, training people and teams to use the thing, and maintenance. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley I love the idea of local governments having Fedi accounts. It sounds silly, but the idea of a bunch of local departments being able to get their messages out can actually be really useful. Think about how many municipal accounts post updates on Twitter to keep people informed about local events or developments. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley What kind of organizations would align well to the Social Web? News, Science, Education, Democratic Governments. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley "We need to go beyond donations and volunteering. Beyond anti-capitalism. From established organizations and upstarts, while abolishing overlords and avoiding becoming overlords themselves." npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Oh no, I'm 35 today! 😩 npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Sometimes, I beat myself up for not learning programming earlier in life. I have like 20 years of experience in scripting for one game engine? npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Look, I think AI can hypothetically be "useful" in certain specific limited contexts, but relying wholly on AI-generated code for a project is profoundly stupid. I think it's fine for rubber-ducking ideas or exploring a pool of information, but some people use it wholesale without knowing basic fundamentals. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Nice! There's still a fair amount of jank, that jump animation is appalling, and part of his hair does culling at random camera angles. But, I took my custom character and made him move! #GameDev #Godot npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley If I were to make a small game about the Fediverse, it would probably be about project management. It might look like Civilization or another political management game, but also have an insane amount of WarioWare-like mini games. If you fail them, your approval ratings go down. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley the best part is that you'd never have to update it! npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley A question for #Fediverse devs: I'm thinking about better ways to document development of the #ActivityPub stack. This would include explanations, demo code, example snippets, and various sections explaining how to build a fully working Fediverse server, with consideration for all of the FEP documents as well. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley This is a really great read by the @npub1lzd…urpr team. As someone who has done all kinds of experiments with long-form articles and publishing directly on the #Fediverse, there are a number of headaches and hurdles we still need to figure out. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley I've been writing a long, long response to the excellent article by @npub1vag…mjkp about the Seven Deadly Sins of Fediverse UX design. It's taken me almost a month, and I'm just trying to get through the last few sections. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley to be fair, that's most FEPs. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley I'm kind of tempted to try setting up a @npub1h3f…6sq8 instance for We Distribute. Could be interesting to have a bunch of little badges for exploring the network or learning about it? 🤔 npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley In case you're just tuning in, we're covering Day 2 of #FediForum. @npub1urx…v0z4 giving the opening keynote about Spritely, and it's great. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Yeah, that was a wild time. I guess that investment stopped happening at some point, but it was really interesting to see a company like that to invest so much. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Hey, go check out our latest episode of Decentered! @damon and I are really excited to be making this again. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley It just really sucks, Codeberg is a wonderful project and a decent amount of Fedi is on there now. Devs shouldn't have to deal with onslaughts of LLM spam pretending to be confused and angry users. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Hey, listen. #Codeberg is being spammed with LLM bots right now. They started like an hour ago. Each bot is opening up one issue in a random tracker every minute. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Hey @npub1fh7…ee83 team? It looks like you have a problem with LLM bots spamming repos with issues. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley For me, the Holy Grail for Threadiverse looks like this: npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Cross-platform Threadiverse stuff is weird. It mostly works really well, but there's tiny quirks between systems sometimes. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Hey #FediMusic folks! 👋 npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley It's that, but also some of the lesser-known projects are doing really wild things. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley My favorite thing about this space is that there's so many brilliant people building incredible things for the Web. Truly radical, revolutionary stuff. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley I said I would publish this week, I guess it happened earlier than expected. This is a high-level overview of Postmodern, the #Fediverse platform I hope to someday build. It is the culmination of years of study as the network has continued to evolve. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley This is Postmodern, my concept for a #Fediverse platform. This mockup is a builder interface for making your own UI, timelines, and pages visually. It's a weird and ambitious concept, but this is what I've been dreaming about for years. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley A few do, Pleroma historically supported it. Not sure if they still do. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Mostly, I'm thinking of building a community platform project that can offer the following things: npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley It sounds like I'd still have to create user accounts locally, if only to properly represent delegation of actions and fight against spam. But, the idea of automatically creating an account on successful authentication doesn't sound *too* ridiculous. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Kind of a weird thought I've been kicking around... npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Yep, this is ultimately my goal! Lots to figure out still, but it's exciting to see things take shape. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Wow, thanks for the kind words, Ben! 😁 npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley I wrote up an article on my personal (Ghost-powered!) blog about some of the work I've been doing to integrate our news publication at We Distribute into the #Fediverse. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Bitcoin Bros always say stuff like "Study Bitcoin", but what's there to actually study? npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Off to the emergency room again. 😓 npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley So, it took longer than expected to get around to this, but I finally wrote about my experience attending #FediverseHouse last week. It was really amazing, and I'm glad I went. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Sleep time. 😴 Surgery tomorrow. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley As part of an ongoing effort with We Distribute and #Fediverse advocacy, I'm looking at connecting with other journalists currently writing about the Fediverse, Nostr, Bluesky, and other efforts to build a decentralized social Web. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley Also, people will claim in five different ways that something is scraping when it isn't. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley It's the waning hours of #FediverseHouse. This is probably the best time I've had in years and years. Some hilarious, beautiful, brilliant people, I'm sad that it's almost over, I could spend all my free time hanging out with y'all. npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley "Every Google Manager's dream is to have an AI bot that can't tell them at Town Halls how stupid they are." -Cory Doctorow npub1zj78zyurwlrfk7xrz2cxgdtws3gl6m7u3hr4qmmrphrsn0x9u6vqgylc9y Sean Tilley I'm going to touch on this in a longer, more thought-out piece, but: the way we treat developers, particularly ones new to this network, is often garbage.
