It bums me out when I see project leaders applying "stop energy" towards other projects in the fediverse space by taking potshots at them when energy to develop and get far enough on the fediverse is so scarce. We do better by supporting each other and engaging in dialogue.
(Applying stop energy to bigoted materials is another matter and not what I'm talking about.)

Well if there's any upside to the .org fiasco it's that more people are realizing how corrupt the DNS + SSL CA cartel is

I'd like to welcome @nightpool as co-chair of the W3C Social Web Community Group, along with myself and @aaronpk!
It's been obvious that we needed more help for some time. @nightpool has consistently been a positive participant in the group and I'm happy to have them help us in community organization and governance.

RMS pulls a serious power move (read: dick move), unilaterally appointing a maintainer to Guile without consulting the other co-maintainers or community, because the current co-maintainers disagree with him on governance https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2019-10/msg00005.html

More and more progress on the promise chaining stuff in #Spritely Goblins https://gitlab.com/spritely/goblins/commit/3ba29f9b839ae8a0ebfb307c03bb21129918e29b
Next I need to work on same-machine but far-vat promise chaining. (Yeah I know, that sounds like nonsense.)

Losing my mind reading an article about how AI can "solve" climate change. As if ExxonMobil execs are sitting around going "gosh we WISH we could do something about climate change but we just haven't found the right tech yet."

Hit that "aha" moment... or at least the moment where I think I probably hit the "aha" moment

@emsenn Haha! I realize I'm being probably very opaque as I've gone this far down the rabbit hole. I hope people don't mind me "thinking out loud" even though it's probably like "wtf is Chris talking about anymore".
Yes, soon this should transform into stuff other people can understand without thinking about all the mechanical stuff I'm musing over :)
