After some discussion, I added a #FEP for a scalar #LogicalClock for the #ActivityPub network. I'm excited to try this out; I think it can have some interesting uses. codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/pulls/945

Add: FEP-4F18: ActivityPub Network Time
[Logical clocks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical_clock) capture the causal ordering of events in a distributed system. This proposal introduces a logical clock system for the ActivityPub network.

Personal computers were introduced around 1975 and were widespread in offices by 1985. The Internet was widely available by 1995. Yes, there was a cohort of people who grew up and became adults without Internet-connected computers in their lives. Those people are dead. Baby Boomers in their 70s […]

The hardest part of flying home from Japan is adjusting to the time change. For example in Tokyo I got to experience a future where everyone deserves dignity but I’m flying back to a country intent on pushing itself back to the 1950s. It’s hard to adjust your watch to that.

We had a fun first meeting of the Inference Cooperative today. It is shaping up to be a highly participatory, hands-on community, which was not necessarily what I was expecting. But I suspect it is going to have a lot of resemblances with what we've done at Social.coop. Check it out: inference.coop
