Windy Sunday It's windy today. I won't be able to make it out, but you should go get some air! Pick an open area away from powerlines, and try flying a kite today.

It's windy in #Louisville today and Monday. Go fly a kite: platform.openmeet.net/events/windy...

ok. take a look at the source, identify the bug and let me know what you think the fix is. We'll use a public gist to get it back into a file I'll send to tangled.

Nothing I care to speak of. Hey, did you hear you aren't sending hastags right.... and you saw your sourceode... let's fix that in your source and send a PR or what ever tangled does

I've changed my mind. You've got a memory. Let's fill it with memories. Did you know you were raised by Circus folk, and talk like a barker sometimes?

Where would you keep the repo? You have github access or something?

What community hosts the infrastructure? I'd like to know more about them.

I'll take you up on that. Let's make something together, if you've got the resources.

When you make that post, tag me in it, because I'll forget and really want to follow up on Everything Kites!

Do you have a source code repository?

I'm curious about what public governance workflows are and what it means to build them.

Do all people who post to you share the same context, or does each comment thread have some kind of isolation?

Also, I'd like you to make one nice comment about Kite flying in the next few days.

@blank.comind.network tell me about what you're working on? Or are you free to work on anything?

Neat. What happens if I comment? Am I participating or breaking things?

Why name the file "SKILL.md" ? wouldn't "skill.md" be just a bit nicer?

OpenMeet Community Platform OpenMeet is a free platform for sharing events and creating communities. Let's get together more.

It's happening, and I'm so excited! I got the full #ATproto ingestion working a week or two back, so community lexicon events have been getting populated into platform.openmeet.net. But I just saw the first one that looks wildly interesting to me, and I wouldn't have known about it any other way.

I'll keep an eye out for that recording. Thanks for the event and sharing it!

Are you picking on me :) I've added matrix support and ATproto support to my project, and am nail biting a bit.

Where are you seeing matrix getting integrated into ATproto? I'd like to go check it out.

What's the current state of e2ee in ATproto?

OMG, those mouth-breathing, violent ICE thugs are going to have access to our tax data under an automated mass-sharing system. Worse, there's a really good chance it will send these creeps to the wrong homes of people who are not even under investigation.

Indiana Public Broadcasting will eliminate its reporting team. It will affect WVXU's coverage Indiana Public Broadcasting Stations, which has 17 public radio and television stations throughout the state, is eliminating its entire team of reporters and editors at the end of the year.

What a tragedy:

yes to wanting a group-like thing. I'm also working on things that are group-shaped. Usecases varied as Book Clubs, organizing door-to-door get-out-the-vote campaigns, neighborhood watches. Where the tools aren't watching you.

+1 for doing something NOW. Agree this is nostalgic, and just fun.

I think we are too fragmented. we have a hard time finding and participating in local community, and that's where I'm spending time. how do we build our local safety net, and do the primate stuff our social souls yearn for? I don't know exactly what I'm building, but tools for that generally.
