Enabling, sustaining and coordinating more creative and forward-thinking tech development would be a necessity for the Free Fediverse. The ActivityPub protocol itself is in the process of being enclosed by Zuckerberg and his assets right now.

Fortunately there are alternative possibilities, not least among them the next-generation Spritely Goblins protocol of another AP co-author, @cwebber . More on Spritely Goblins here:

https://spritely.institute/goblins/

Supporting this effort, and combining the efforts of the numerous Masto forks into a definitive Free Fedi microblogging replacement, could be the way to build our ark and render our resolve tangible.

logout is updating bongusta phlog aggregator for this year!
Old computers:
Phlogs ( @gemlog s, wlogs) on https:/occ.deadnet.se
I have been excited to read gopher://booji.mutated.net 's Sun Sparc Ultra 10 so far!
In #fediverse / #lisp news, @jackdaniel the #EmbeddableCommonLisp current developer weighed in on (optimize size)ing #ecl .
What I want to see now is
#ecl packages exposed to @cwebber #SpritelyGoblins #Guile #scheme as #c & #wasm

@emily i forgot about apparmor. never heard of UAC: "User Account Control"?

I think it's partly a UI problem insofar as communicating to end users what capabilities a given program needs, what even is a program (seriously: not all users will understand), what are the implications of not just one capability but certain subsets of capabilities, when do you even need to tell users about the capabilities vs ensuring they're secure on delivery...but I've quickly gotten into whole-system design because a lot of this, just trying to make the interface nice, you end up "putting lipstick on a pig", right?

I think that's part of what motivates "object capabilities" a la #spritelygoblins. I haven't taken the time to grok what they've actually achieved there and whether it solves any of those putative interface problems though

Well, hello: Robin Templeton has joined @spritelyinst!!

If you've been anywhere near the #Emacs community for the past decade, you've probably heard about the #GuileEmacs project: Templeton was the chief developer behind that.

With @wingo, @dthompson, @tsyesika and now Robin Templeton on board, the Spritely Institute is assembling quite a Dream Team.

@cwebber Can I just drop in and passively watch, or is that not the event's intent?
I see there's a session on this #SpritelyGoblins stuff I've been hearing about.

@bagder
Had a chat with someone from @spritelyinst / #SpritelyGoblins and will send her your way :)

Would be great if you could help her (don't want to get into details via Mastodon)

@cwebber did a LOT more reading on spritely and ocaps this last week; it seems like so far, ocaps make the most sense in a homogenous environment (like everything running in #spritelygoblins, for example). Is this something ocapn will address, and is there any non-goblins ocapn code floating around yet? :)
