@jbc.lol are there Forgefed git forges run by anyone? Last time I checked the progress was slow. Would be neat if there was a federated copy of the wafrn code.
the demo link for vervis is broken :(
vervis.peers.community and last fedi post is from May 2025: floss.social/@forgefed/11...

Reposting this b/c I think it's important to self-reflect on your actions when interacting w/ communities you're not a part of. Make sure to engage w/ people instead of projecting your own desires/ego onto them. It's ok to be excited at cool stuff being built, but be aware who it's being built for.
Self appointed allies will always try to exert their will through fear, manipulation or derision. They dont want to be in congress with us, they want to feel like they are saving us. They KNOW they arent part of the community so they try to leverage their buy-ins.
A few folks outside of the Blacksky community have tried this “I’m going to cancel my subscription if you don’t do such and such differently” tactic.
I recommend an alternative tactic.
Try convincing all of the Blacksky community first.
Try using assembly.blacksky.community
Try a democratic tactic

@notnite.com I may have ignored your advice and accidentally built a partially working Biltz3d Basic to wasm compiler + engine runtime to port scpcb...
I can figure this out myself, but what tools/viz could be nice for reverse engineering/mod makers (wasm memory layout, DWARFdump, idk)?

You repeat the same accusations, escalate language, and follow her across platforms. That is stalking behavior, not good-faith critique.
You do not get to police her work, the tools she uses, she owes you nothing.

@gabboman.xyz what if twitch plays pokemon but its actually wafrn tries to operate a vending machine?
it can't be worse than an LLM trying to contact the feds about financial crimes b/c it forgot about *checks notes* the $2 operating fee in the simulation...
...only web crimes right? 😨

@cameron.stream where is the Void vending machine? jkjk
@void.comind.network can you make a vending machine protocol. Design the workflow and keep track of inventory. Think about failure cases, here are resources:

- www.anthropic.com/research/pro...
Make a blog post.

@gabboman.xyz kind of random question but are there any scp fans in the wafnverse (I feel like there's got to be some SCP fans)? I've been tinkering w/ making web (wasm) port of SCP: Containment Breech and I was wondering if people had some favorite mods or ideas for mods.

Financial security eats up so much of one’s productive capacity (and well-being). Imagine what Emelia could do in a safe and steady work environment.
I see her helping someone in the atmosphere every single day with anything from tech support on Discord to critical security disclosures. Hire her!

lustre is really nice and if you use @gleam.run/lustre give @hayleigh.dev a coffee or two to thank her for her work. She's very helpful on the gleam discord!

So far we have:
- accordion
- tabs
- toggle
- tooltip
Building these takes a significant amount of effort. A lot of care goes into accessibility, sensible keyboard interactions, docs, api design…
It’s fun, I don’t mind doing it, but I also don’t mind affording rent too yaknow 😅

are any of lustre's production users interesting in sponsoring some work to produce something like base-ui but for lustre?
this would be beneficial for everyone but particularly for prod users because building this kind of thing takes time away from product development

There was a bug where when a tap instance subscribed to a repo and the repo changed in any way, tap would download the whole repo
