Hello! We're the Spritely Institute and we're building Spritely, next-generation decentralized network tech! https://spritely.institute

We're building off experience from standardizing ActivityPub (two of our co-founders worked on it!) and researching techniques to build the future of secure collaboration!

(We just moved here from @spritelyinst, hello!)

I did a four-page short comic for Le Lombard (Belgian publisher), it was a contribution to a big book project in French, featuring 24 other comic artists; an "advent calendar" book for Christmas. And yes, you have to cut the page every day in December to reveal a new story. I negotiated to have mine published on CC-By and made it using only FLOSS linux krita inkscape .

Book cover photo: a thick book (A4 size) of Santa struggling to manage his reindeer in a comical way and with a rounded comic line and colorful tone. Title: "La BD de l'Avent", French for Advent Comic as in a "Advent Calendar". In the background a comic page sample, half cut, with white speechbubbles (to not spoil the story). It represent a dialog between a postman and a young girl in front of a house during a snowy winter.

Übermedien/Kolumne: Politik: Wir sind nicht so zerstritten, wie Medien behaupten

Die Deutschen sind bei den meisten Themen nicht gespalten. Trotzdem behaupten Medien das immer wieder - und stärken damit den Populismus.

An das @ZDF
Betr.: Fehlinformation in Ihrer Sendung »Berlin Direkt«

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,

in Ihrer heutigen Sendung behauptete Ihre Moderatorin Andrea Maurer, die Strompreise seien »gerade auf Rekordhoch«, und die neue Grünen-Chefin habe »die rosarote Brille« aufgesetzt.

Tatsache ist, dass (nicht nur) ich in den vergangenen drei Monaten zweimal eine Strompreis-SENKUNG durch meinen Anbieter erhalten habe.

Ich bezweifle sehr, dass das Unternehmen sich zweimal in Folge so gravierend täuscht, und halte es eher für möglich, dass hier aktiv und dem ÖRR-Grundsatz der Neutralität diametral entgegengesetzt in den Wahlkampf eingegriffen wird. Grünen-»Bashing« mag ja im Moment verführerisch »volksnah« wirken, hat aber im ÖRR nichts zu suchen.

Mit der Bitte um Aufklärung.

Not telling them it's not okay is telling them it is okay.

Beginning to believe that @Gargron doesn't want me contributing to — he's now partially recreated three of my pull requests that I've worked on.

My PRs didn't ship because I needed feedback from the team who were busy.

Like, I'm happy to spend the time and money to contribute to Mastodon, but it's horrifically rude to just redo someone's work when they've put a tonne of work into doing something.

He's also done this to me in the past in 2018 with the report management tools.

@SmudgeTheInsultCat Your body my choice is a statement of imminent assault and responding with violence in self defense seems perfectly reason to me.

I have `:comments link` in my Org Babel default header args to theoretically make it possible to use `M-x org-babel-detangle`, although I haven't actually made a habit of using it yet. I got tripped up because my `;; lexical-binding: t` wasn't the first line of my tangled Emacs Lisp file. Adding `:comments no` to that particular source block fixed it.

@abcdw Well deserved. We talk about your work often at Spritely!

@cwebber Thank you for kind words. It's really nice to hear it from you. Appreciate it.

I think Guile actually has a lot of promise which has been being realized recently, though.  Guix brought the initial life to Guile which, for instance, allowed Spritely to be bold enough to choose Guile as its foundation (of course we dabbled in Racket initially; I am glad we landed in Guile-land again).  We have to do a lot to make Guile more accessible and better maintained.  I think Hoot will help a lot with that; I've also been impressed with a lot of the work that Andrew Tropin has done, but there's a lot more in general.

Computing paradigm shift, a thread

I recognized some of the building blocks of the future years ago, in particular WASM and WebGPU. I've hesitated to embrace them because of their dependency on the web and the browser ecosystem, and because of my terror over what I knew capitalism plans to do with them, which is to move us entirely to a subscription-based software model where we have no control at all over our data. The "legacy web" will be replaced with "content-delivery services" that can't be scraped or used in any other way without some kind of business relationship. Which is exactly the direction Reddit and Twitter have gone even without needing WASM for the rendering piece.

@Scmbradley I revisit https://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html periodically and always find something new to try.
