Thinking of a couple of hours of #factorio tonight.

I'll be at #FOSDEM. I'm interested in go-fed (AP in #golang) and getting folks writing #ActivityPub extensions into decentralized but federating spec-owning authorities. Who wants to meet up at FOSDEM? I would like to make sure to block out specific times to meet with folks to have these sorts of discussions.

Doesn't have to be 1:1 discussions either.

Also that was pretty mentally taxing so good night and enjoy your Friday evening.

Let it be known that today I finally got the go-fed-tool to not just generate #ActivityStreams, but any extension that builds on ActivityStreams, and recursively on top of extensions.

Last major things to do before I work on the "pub" side of go-fed/activity:
- Resolver, PredicateResolver
- Managing `context` strings
- Migrate unit tests to new code generated stuff

#NowPlaying #np Austrian Death Machine -- Double Brutal (album)

Arnold Schwartzenegger themed death #metal. With songs like:
- I Need Your Clothes Your Boots Your Motorcycle (Terminator)
- Who Told You You Could Eat My Cookies? (Jingle All The Way)
- Come on, Do it, Do it, Come on, Come on, Kill me, Do it Now (Predator)

I am not trying to pick sides, I just hate seeing a reporter burn the entire Fediverse without understanding what it actually is. It's like burning The Internet down because of one website's admin.

I just read The Daily Dot article and it is clear the author has only looked at:
- Specific Public Blog posts
- Signed up for cybre.space's instance
- A brief and editorialized interview

What else I am missing? It is clear the research was not very thorough. No mention of the elephant in the room: #ActivityPub. Comes across as a hit piece against Gargron. As an outsider to the queer community, I can only say my impression is that it's meant to dissuade the queer community from joining Mastodon.

LOL In Flames's "(This Is Our) House" has a 0% overall rating. Deservedly. It's really cringey.

I am taking my "decentralized authorities, centralized knowledge" idea at the end of my recent blog post, and am exploring it: having #ActivityPub and #ActivityStreams extensions live on the Fediverse itself, to allow self-forming communities to get together to develop their own AP extension *without* the overhead of requiring a "blessing" from a centralized authority. All while still being centrally discoverable by other ActivityPub developers.

This is the kind of internet comment that I find, frankly, one of the lowest forms of behavior. It is a lazy toxicity-primed mindset masquerading as intellectualism.

I don't put up with it and call it out.

Cornish cover band song suggestions:

"Stank This Way" (Aerosmith cover)
"Stank on the Wild Side" (Lou Reed cover)
"Stank on Water" (Eminem or 30 Seconds to Mars cover"
"Stanks Like A Lady" (Journey cover)

Admittedly, I don't know when a Cornish person would use "stank" instead of "walk".

@papey Hey Morty. Nice avatar *buuuurrrrpppp* Morty.

Progress on coding today was unexpectedly slow due to cuteness of dog who commandeered the use of my hands. And is now using one of them as a pillow.

Today is a relaxing day. I'll either be working on getting go-fed to v1, or playing #factorio.

*Frantically types `git status` repeatedly, hoping the code changes that need to happen will somehow just magically appear*

Dangit, I'm not a wizard.

I am coding but I wouldn't mind playing #factorio with #Fedifolk instead
