Me playing smash: "Ha, it sounds like when you knock Pit into the sky he says 'I never learned how to reeeeeeeeaaaaaad'"

That's great!

@citrustwee good post... tho I think xkcd's generation is more millennial and Gen X than boomer maybe?

Okay! I have enough of the #Spritely Golem README written that someone should, in theory, be able to easily run and test it: https://gitlab.com/spritely/golem/blob/master/README.org

Anyone want to test and see if it works for you?

I still need to add more explanation of what's going on, but that's progress.

@trwnh The reason the actor model isn't specifically pointed to, even though ActivityPub *is* an actor model system, is there was worry that if we got too CS'y that we'd make people nervous. But it's absolutely the basis :)

Aw yeah! It's Shmalentines Day!

@mlemweb and I don't personally celebrate Valentines Day. Too many broken hearts, too much corporate pressure to buy buy buy. (No judgement for those who do celebrate it, we just don't.)

But we DO celebrate Shmalentines Day. Shmalentines Day is the day AFTER Valentines Day when you can pick up a bunch of discount chocolate and candy!

@emsenn You can post them on here and tag me. It might even be interesting to tag @librelounge since we're currently preparing a series about teaching about fediverse concepts :)

@emsenn Yes please!

I have this feeling that a lot of ActivityPub's success (aside from the good parts of its design and let's face it the popularity rush that came from Mastodon's uptake) came from having an accessible "tutorial" style overview section in the spec with a story to it (something not a lot of specs have) https://www.w3.org/TR/activitypub/#Overview

I'd like to hear from implementors though... was this true for you? Did that section make a difference in helping your understanding?

Hello fediverse! What cool thing have you been working on?

@rzr pretty interesting to see activitypub used in that domain, haven't thought about it much

I guess I don't think about IoT things all too much. I will say that in order to make IoT things safe I think we need a good foundation based on object capabilities... and of course, IoT things can be seen as an actor model system!

@vk They can delete their own chunks, but they can't make the network delete chunks.

Fun fact: NO protocol can make that happen.
