Between 2 and 2.5 years ago, depending on whether you look at https://medium.com/we-distribute/faces-of-the-federation-christopher-allan-webber-on-mediagoblin-and-activitypub-24bbe212867e or https://dustycloud.org/blog/spritely/ I announced the Spritely project. I hedgingly joked while asked to describe it that it's "well, vaporware, mostly".

With the upcoming release of Goblins and its support for real distributed programming (on a mutually suspicious network, even) we'll be approaching the point where it'll be fair to say that Spritely is very much so *not* vaporware, is demonstrably interesting

Sorry.

Hello world. Here's my work on integrating Racket and Vulkan, licensed under MIT: https://sagegerard.com/racket-vulkan-notes-index.html #vulkan #racket

Today I will be giving a brief talk about Datashards to the CCG. Dial in info here: https://w3c-ccg.github.io/

I'm nervous that a bunch of stuff is going to be adopted on the fediverse that breaks the underlying paradigm while still not providing the protection we need soon enough.

But I'm also worried that I can't manage to explain my alternative proposal fast enough. :(

I feel like that about a number of things right now; prioritizing is hard. But I guess this really probably is fairly urgent right now.

There's a new episode of @librelounge out where we interview Ludovic Courtès about Guix! Functional programming? Functional package managers? Distros? Reproducibility? It has all the cool things! https://librelounge.org/episodes/episode-23-guix-with-ludovic-court%C3%A8s.html

Vox is on strike today- they're trying to unionize! ✊

As a result, consuming media today from Vox, The Verge, or Polygon constitutes breaking a picket line.

Hello friends, I have decided to abandon this account - you can now find me here: @mooncube

The reason is that I no longer feel comfortable with this alias and its ableistic nuances, as discussed here: https://mastodon.social/@acrazymind/101526984459686687

It was a tough call because I lose all my followers and posts, but its worth it. Follow my new acc if you want to see more of my work, and please boost for visibility if you can. Thank you, love you all. ❤️
