Okay. I should do an #introductions post.
I'm jackyalciné. I work with software a lot. I run often. I cook. I also track a lot of my life digitally. I have more information at https://jacky.wtf/press/.
I give talks in tech + social justice + Black history (and intersections thereof). I'm from New York, chilling out West now.
I have a habit for breaking things and putting them back together with a test harness. I'm open to banter but only if it's peaceful and for growth.
Hi.
yeah imma delete my account from here (mastodon.xyz) and move to playvicious.
expect a mass re-following.
I'm kinda mad. Especially as a Patreon. Now I'm strongly opting to just move off any form of centralized federation.
mastodon.xyz was down long enough for me to move to another instance.

♲ @amy nguyen (amyngyn@twitter.com): i had a whole rant about this in my "UX design for internal tools" talk last year but i have to rant again: IF YOU BUILD A WEB APP THAT BREAKS BASIC BROWSER FUNCTIONALITY I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN.
I WANT A BACK BUTTON.
I WANT TO RIGHT CLICK.
I WANT TO OPEN IN A NEW FUCKING TAB.

So it's definitely possible.
Best believe I'll be attempting this in the far future.
I have a video of my last session uploading to Twitch and YouTube - might aim to self host it if it's cost effective (the forgotten aspect of self hosting).
Okay some takeaways on #streaming and #livecoding:
* I switch context a _lot_. I jump from terminal -> docs -> web -> terminal in under a minute.
* I need to work at talking about my flow out loud. It's a good way to do a live assertion of what I'm working on.
* Try to open up with an agenda in the form of unit tests.

Still hacking away at ActivityStream.
Alright, back on my stream. https://www.twitch.tv/jackyalcine This time we're going to add some validation to JSON-LD objects for #ActivityPub / #activitystream
Stopped my stream for ~5 minutes. Going to get something to eat and then pick back up.
I'm aiming to get a C++ implementation of #ActivityPub (and #ActivityStream) going.
Got keyword detection in #JSON-LD working for my C++ lib for #ActivityPub!
I'm live coding it now! https://www.twitch.tv/jackyalcine
(starting this live coding stream in like 10 seconds)
That said, I think I'll do this live. Going to turn on my Twitch stream. https://www.twitch.tv/jackyalcine
(one day I could even consider self-hosing THAT?!)
I keep asking myself - do I need to implement JSON-LD in order to get ActivityStreams so I have an ActivityPub library?
I think so.
Okay. Home. Not going out this weekend (at least not tonight) so we finna implement JSON-LD in C++ tonight.

Also note to self/passive aggressive note to others: don't criticize non-technical users who call the whole thing Mastodon (or, increasingly, Pleroma).
For now, I'm going le FUG to sleep
That being this: https://git.jacky.wtf/indieweb/libactivitypub/pulls/1/files.
I'm going to work on making testing straightforward. Running it under Docker makes a bit easier
