This is the first time I've seen a "Share on Mastodon" button on a blog, so I did.

Well worth it. An operating system called TempleOS. And: "This is outsider art." ... "I want to use this blogpost series to break the genius down and separate it out from the insanity, bit by bit."

I just started a thread in the #SocialCoop Loomio on whether and how we might assist in the evolution underway on the platformcoop-discuss email list: https://www.loomio.org/d/ZH1Fdte4/teaming-up-with-platformcoop-discuss-

Some morning joy for you: opera in a @coopitalia grocery store. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLI3NyzwXr

Everyone on #SocialCoop should be sure to read Alyssa Rosenzweig's fantastic essay on "The Federation Fallacy": https://rosenzweig.io/blog/the-federation-fallacy.html

@tbeckett @Graham_Mitchell I've just drafted an agreement for our new partnership with Platform6: https://www.loomio.org/p/Oe49qZLd/what-do-you-think-of-this-draft-agreement-with-platform-6-

@emi @mattcropp Could I have git.coop access? I'd like to draft on the wiki a hosting agreement with p6. My username is ntnsndr.

Any ideas about why Samsung is investing in Mastodon and ActivityPub development? https://opencollective.com/samsung-next

The switch of #SocialCoop's legal entity to P6 is proceeding. Proposal approved here: https://www.loomio.org/p/mfvjOLD1

New #SocialCoop proposal: "Should we move Social.coop's legal 'host' to Platform 6, a UK cooperative?" https://www.loomio.org/d/PCgSqLdA/switching-our-legal-entity-to-a-co-op

This is well worth your attention, I think.
