@Rozzychan i am a programmer!

there's an easy and hard answer to “federated fanworks” as a concept; the hard task (building an activitypub service like mastodon) is definitely a bigger task than any one person could ever take on…

… but i think there are simpler technologies like RSS which fandom could be leveraging more. there are old standards like Open Archives Initiative’s ResourceSync which maybe merit another look. there are also ways of doing things with activitystreams but not full activitypub, like the Notify project being developed by the Confederation of Open Access Repositories, which fandom could maybe leverage.

i think it's a real problem that fandom talks about archives and curation and preservation but doesn't use or contribute to any of the technologies used professionally in libraries or archives or digital preservation. why not? we're all trying to solve a lot of the same fundamental problems here

before we moved in together my partner and i had a conversation where we basically both said “i don’t know how you manage to do so much all the time” and then basically both responded “what do you mean i am like, barely functional” and the thing is we were basically both right

is cute & good

• Playlists of good songs from the 2000s. This isn’t obviously fannish at face value, but it would really help me in making fannish playlists keyed to that era to know about more artists beyond just the radio hits.

• Highly‐technicial fanworks. I want fanworks (with fictional authorship!) that read like an R·F·C from the Internet Engineering Task Force establishing the technical underpinnings of a new networked technology, or like an ethnography from a religious studies professor attempting to unwind how colonialism has impacted traditional practices and rituals, or like the doctoral thesis of a linguist attempting to capture a critically‐endangered language before it forever disappears. Do these exist? If you know of any, send me some!

r·p is like the lowest tech thing imaginable you can just do it you don’t need to buy somebody else’s vision in v·r

i’m not upset that nerds are wanting to roleplay Ready Player One, i’m upset that they don’t realize they can do that for free with an account on proboards dot com

reminder that you can in fact clone any repository on my gitweb and poke around with it on your own computer

I’ve just switched over to using <https://git.ladys.computer/Shushe>="⛩️📰 书社" to build my main site, which formerly was handcoded. At present, this hasn’t offered me much aside from the chance to fix a few bugs, altho it has made including images as data u·r·i’s a bit easier. However, i’m planning on adding some more dataful areas to the site which would have been very cumbersome to manage manually. More on those once i finish developing them.

The process of setting it up was easy; it is designed to work well with git submodules and be easily callable from within another make·file. Check the `build´ target of <https://git.ladys.computer/WWW/blob/86942bda88e834ee9fd5129483d38be15fe5950f:/GNUmakefile>="the `GNUmakefile´ for the site" to see what little it entails.

@kinluwi follower-only replies from people that people on your instance follow is the most subtle way for posts to unexpectedly federate to you; it's not easy to check for in masto

more like “grown men rue my calls”
