Yesterday's news about Jacob Geller broke my heart, so much that I couldn't stop dwelling on it all day. In an effort to make sense of this horrific news and my admittedly complicated feelings about it, here is my article on the Jacob Geller situation: epiloguegaming.com/what-do-we-d...

What Do We Do With Jacob Geller? - Epilogue Gaming
Earlier this week, a friend noticed Jacob Geller’s book, How A Game Lives, sitting amongst my living room shelves. Under almost any other circumstances, this would have been an exciting invitation for...

On Jacob Geller
I'm aware of the rape allegations against Jacob Geller, as well as the fact that his name is on a court-ordered list of UNC students disciplined for sexual violence. I've hesitated on whether to post anything about it, because the victim hasn’t been identified and I don’t want to participate in a retraumatizing conversation against their wishes. At the same time, as someone who has collaborated with Jacob Geller, I do not want my silence to be taken as endorsement.

For my part, I did not know about this and I wish I had. What justice and repair look like in cases like these are for the victim to decide, and I do not know their wishes or what accountability processes, if any, took place. However, strictly on a personal level, I’m uncomfortable having collaborated with someone who has presented himself as a nonthreatening feminist without ever disclosing his history of sexual violence to me or any other colleagues I’ve spoken to. I have no intention of ever working with Geller again. Beyond that, the person this happened to ought to be the ultimate authority on what happens next, and how they wish to tell their story if at all.

Also, polyproto people seem very hostile towards nuance on AI and things of that nature which is a plague I've been seeing in open source lately, and I'm getting quite tired of it. People who get their politics from Bluesky or whatever truly are annoying, no matter what sides they're on.

I don't think ATProto is good enough for these kinds of applications considering relays are too big and nonspecific. They're great for Bluesky and more parasocial media, but I don't see how it can be useful outside profiles, settings, sign in, and message history. I think this could be interesting.

seeing as polyproto.org isn't ATProto and they're making the homeserver mistake, I have been considering working on some kind of standard extension on top of ATProto for instant messages and reactions, maybe using some kind of temporary websocket server per chat room / guild.

yeah that's certainly something I've seen echoed online, but once you begin moving away from Bluesky and Fedi, people are more open to nuance. There's something about Twitter-likes that attract or fuel a lack of nuance.

AT Protocol itself is fine honestly. You really don't have to interact with Bluesky in AT Protocol, and the people working on it don't seem related to any of the drama going on there.

hey why is no one talking about the licensing situation with this A24/SCP thing? are they releasing it under the same cc-by-sa license every SCP project is required to have? are they betting creative commons won't hold up in court? seems like the kind of question a journalist should look into idk

A24 is potentially doing something really fucked up here, but also they have the opportunity to do something extremely fucking cool and make the movie Creative Commons people would still pay to see it in theaters. but you want to benefit from a community project? then contribute to it

The great thing about Bluesky is that you can create Moderation Lists and block everyone on those lists so you're not left wondering why you've blocked someone.

Apparently no country has renamed itself for the bit, but ICANN docs say people have tried to get new “country” names into ISO 3166 specifically to obtain a ccTLD, and calls the attempts “absolutely futile.” Tuvalu did the saner inverse: keep the name, discover .tv is money.
