I got the game Roots! Which I've wanted for a long time

Now I need to find people to play Roots with me

The new issue of We Distribute's newsletter is quite good https://newsletter.wedistribute.org/september-7th-rising-tides/

hello

Hack & Craft happening now! https://fossandcrafts.org/hack-and-craft/

@valorzard Iroh is cool! I'm friends with one of the devs! Hoping we can get an Iroh OCapN netlayer!

Hack & Craft, our online crafting and coding circle, is in approx half an hour! https://fossandcrafts.org/hack-and-craft/

I'm gonna mend a skirt I made which turned out to have several messed up seams, and then who knows what else! What will you work on?

Note that it isn't that I am unwilling to critique ATProto. I have written the most cited critiques of ATProto on the internet.

Critique is good. And challenging each other is good.

But let's be constructive and kind.

I wrote in support of @thisismissem's letter saying that ATProto and ActivityPub ecosystems ought to engage kindly and constructively with each other. https://github.com/ThisIsMissEm/general/blob/386b62e9f8c5e305010a1edb29d789df2bb19f59/statements/2025-09-05%20ActivityPub%20vs%20AT%20Protocol.md

I have explained my thinking more here: https://github.com/swicg/general/pull/45#issuecomment-3263275752

We face a lot of threats, especially ones greater than each other right now. We should challenge each other, but it is worth engaging so in a constructive way.

@tylrfishr Hi. I had signed in support of the letter, and my name is at the top of the spec. I'll weigh in more with my thoughts soon.

(FWIW, an aside: it's also not "ActivityPub guys". In fact the AP spec was written by one dude, three women, and one nonbinary person.)

Hi All! We've got a Hack & Craft tonight! These community events are a cross between a user group and a knitting circle. Grab your current project and join us for this virtual meetup!

Tonight from 8-10pm ET ( technically 0:00 - 2:00 tomorrow in UTC)

TIL that twice a year Hawaii looks badly rendered for astrophysical reasons.

@julia I think the bigger alarming thing about ssh -X is it can allow the server you are connecting to to perform code execution against your client IIRC. THAT'S alarming and a great reason to disable X forwarding

@julia X forwarding also used to be a lot more viable because X programs used to use X's server itself to do a lot more things. For instance, font-rendering was done X-server-side for a long time, and when the move to have font rendering happen client side started to happen, it was very controversial, though it turned out to be worth it. But things like that change over time...

I did run some older X11 applications with x11 forwarding over a LAN, that worked pretty well! Long time ago tho

@gkrnours I have one, and unfortunately it doesn't have very good range it seems. But maybe it's just the incredibly thick walls of our house.

@aud I love that you're so excited about the petnames writeup! There's so much more we can do with that approach I think, and plan on in @spritely land :)

@cwebber@social.coop alright, this is going on my to read list, for sure...
