That was a very nice ride! About 20 miles, all but the last mile was on a nice bike path!

p.s. it was an excellent decision to bring the drone, even it it took up a proportionally large amount of space in my one bag

Well ResolveCon is a wrap! Now I'm biking from Ashland to the Medford airport! Gonna be a bit of a slow ride to stop and take some drone photos and such.

You can follow along with my trip here! https://compass.p3k.io/s/hvbTCYY4ebTrJJo

@aaronpk I know you recently completed the process for your Part 107 Drone License. I’m going to start prepping for the exam. Do you have any specific resources (books, videos, etc..) that you would recommend? Thanks!

Yeah! I highly recommend the Pilot Institute course! That's really the only thing I studied before the test: https://pilotinstitute.com/course/part-107-remote-pilot/?affcode=245841_o4stdmp5

too bad, try harder. it's 2022 and the default suggestions are straight out of 2007, that's not New Stuff ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

if i've gotta go digging then you're failing my criteria

I mean then it sounds like maybe you're looking for something else entirely? No need to dismiss an entire community of people working together to build things because it doesn't match up with what you want 🤷‍♂️

it's not anti incrementalism

because incrementalism implies change

indieweb is literally just conservatism. there's almost nothing new since 2007, nothing substantively improved or explored. it's just Web 2.0 sentimentalism as a movement

There's a lot of new stuff if you look past the home page. I agree there are some problems with how we've described things, and I'd like to fix that, but it feels like you're coming to a pretty quick judgment without a lot of context.

I genuinely worry about how easy it would be for malicious people to convince naive users to "add this script to get X" when the script actually just steals their passwords and cookies for every site they visit

The answer is "very easy"

Sweet! I think we should live stream the live stream… waddaya think, @aaronpk ? Set up a few @mevocamera on auto-director and let ‘em show what we do?

I was considering that! I don't have room for my Mevos but if you can bring some.... !

Who’s going to #ResolveCon this weekend — in person or online? I’m running the live stream along with @aaronpk — watch @casey_faris @MrAlexTech and many more! Some of my packing… http://ResolveCon.com

Sure you don't want me to bring another ATEM?

i also dont find non-federated indieweb to be satisfactory for a whole variety of reasons too

yeah it depends on the overall goal really. Scuttlebutt has done some interesting things with a non-federated and offline-first approach to decentralized comms https://scuttlebutt.nz

i dont know what you mean

maybe I misinterpreted the specific problems with the fediverse that you're referring to then.

I'm trying to find a good reference, this one talks about some of the problems, which Mastodon has for the same reasons: http://natdudley.com/blog/twitter-ux-and-bullying/

sure i mean everything i said above also applies to direct site-to-site engagement too. i wrote a thread about p2p and cryptography, and somehow this is turning into a debate about indieweb because of some random asshole

i mean doesn't that kind of exactly demonstrate your earlier point about the twitter/mastodon interaction model 😂

i am, yes, because its the only relevant aspect of indieweb in the context of the thread that i wrote, as far as i can tell

the original mention of indieweb was sufficiently vague that I don't blame you for conflating it with mastodon, but there's a lot more to draw inspiration from than just what mastodon did. for example, i'm not even writing this on twitter, i'm writing it on my own website.

and indieweb has always been hyper concentrated. its kind of unfortunate that it went the route it did, tbh. they couldve done something really interesting but instead its just... twitter plus inter-server distribution :\

you're talking about Mastodon/fediverse specifically, right? because indieweb encompasses a lot more than just that model
