Yes, and it is well known that Drew (the creator of sourcehut) is very pro-email-git and is very-against-ForgeFed.

I'm the guy that debated him in the ForgeFed archives. I still have a blog post I need to write up around this whole "git is already federated" non-argument.

It may be because I'm a dim individual, but I don't really understand what you're trying to say here.

I have nothing against git+email, please keep using it and supporting Drew via using sourcehut!

Delaunay Triangulation has a lot of cool properties:- Getting from point A to B has an upper bound distance of ~2.4x the distance "as the crow flies"- Is the dual graph of a Voronoi diagram.- If produced in a spatial Poisson Process, on average a point will have 6 neighbors.

@clacke That's kind of the status quo today though, right? Based on the last X years of FLOSS.

Looking at the state of the world as it is, I'm not sure such a proposal leads to a noticeable difference.

I don't have any new insights myself, though. :/

@cwebber FYI, independently, i'm working on evolving scr.

@trash@mastodon.host I don't think so either. I think they need better protections because they can't use things like the the pillar of "freedom to modify" or "freedom to inspect source code".

I'm not trying to disenfranchise, I'm trying to empower.

@dtluna Lol yes the FLOSS philosophy could be improved, but I'm not sure it's complete garbage.

@dtluna That defeats the purpose of the free software pillar to "freely modify a program" though, as well as the "free to inspect source code" one.

@dtluna I agree on both latter counts. I also agree with the first one and also don't think there's anything inherently special about FLOSS in context of the broader freedoms, but I know giving names and thought to more specialized social movements for freedoms (association, movement, etc) is powerful and something worth specializing thought in.

I'm not trying to elevate one above others, I'm just wondering how to improve the thought of today.

@dtluna My intent was to capture both the ownership (computing hardware) and the knowledge (software engineering). Merely owning computing hardware is insufficient to fulfill the existing FLOSS pillars but is implocit, and I want to capture that difference and make it explicit.

@softmetz It's all been derived under the assumption that there is no distinction between end user and developer, which is why tech literacy is traditionally super important.

@notabene Thanks for the example, that is pretty neat. Love how the world isn't so black and white.

If I could restart the FLOSS philosophy from first principles, and re-derive everything, I would start by separating the existing concept of "user", which currently means both "one afforded the means of software development" and "one without the means of software development", and rethink the rights that fall out.

For instance, the existing pillar of "freedom to modify" is no longer equitable.

I have no answers now, but identifying the problem is a good step, I think.

@cwebber FYI, I am pushing the code up for a simulation of a network topology builder for content-addressed, ephemeral node, ephemeral data.

God. Fucking. Damnit.

Is #pterotype #activitypub #wordpress development still going on?
