I've been building a Facebook Events style event organizing system for the Fediverse. It's based on the simple, open source, privacy-respecting event organizing tool https://gath.io
The attached video is a work-in-progress preview and shows compatibility with Mastodon. My hope is to get it working with lots of software, including stuff like Friendica that supports events and calendars.

I finished my stint as a Mozilla Fellow and now I'm relaunching my Patreon with a focus on, well, fixing social media.
This means I'm going to continue my concerted work trying to make the fediverse a better place, in the form of best practice guides for running instances, external advocacy, and technical tutorials and training so that more people can contribute software to the fediverse at large.
You can read a partial summary of my work so far at my new Patreon page!

Hello Fediverse!
This is call for feedback and comments on the initial Fediverse Enhancement Proposal (FEP):
FEP-a4edc7b: The Fediverse Enhancement Proposal Process
(https://git.activitypub.dev/ActivityPubDev/Fediverse-Enhancement-Proposals/src/branch/main/feps/fep-a4edc7b.md)
FEPs are intended to be documents that provide information that improves interoperability and general well-being of the Fediverse.
This may include technical things but also social and cultural best-practices and experiences.

new work from me in the ISEA 2020 Art Programme: Reconstructions https://reconstructions.decontextualize.com an infinite computer-generated poem with a nested chiastic structure
the lines are generated by sampling a variational autoencoder (https://github.com/aparrish/vae-lagging-encoder/) trained on a bunch of public domain poetry (https://github.com/aparrish/gutenberg-poetry-corpus). each line is paired with another resulting from the model's reconstruction of the original line with words reversed
This was brought to you by this truly excellent Miley Cyrus cover of "Zombie" that people are talking about on Twitter today
There's a little-noticed mistake in the recording for "Zombie" by The Cranberries where in the pre-chorus the lead singer sings "and their bombs" twice! I fixed it so you can hear the song the way it was intended.
You're welcome!
pandemic daily life thoughts
I feel a little bit like a medieval serf when I think about restaurants. The idea of sitting down in a place and having people come and bring you food cooked to order while you carry on conversing with your compatriots seems like an experience reserved for kings and their court
Just FYI, a bunch of my bots and sites are down right now due to a planned data center migration. This includes

https://runyourown.social
They should be back up within, oh, 6 hours or so depending on how this migration goes.

In case you didn't see it, I released a little demo of Gloam, the procedural spooky-cute village generator I've been working on, for all the people who've expressed interest in poking at it: https://miredly.itch.io/gloam
Happy October! (boosts welcome)

The best thing about palindromes is you can always make them longer by adding the word "poop" at the beginning and end
