While working on Webmention support for my homepage, I started to wonder how content licensing is handled. I’ve never seen it mentioned in the docs.
I just assume everyone is ok, with displaying their writing on my page, or is this too simplistic a process?
Making a massive multiplayer game will probably be the biggest thing that you work on in your entire life. It will take a decade or more to develop it and if it was a success, it will take another decade to maintain it. If you are somewhere in your twenties right now, you will be in your forties, maybe even 50 years old when the last server of your game shuts down.

My new sleeping place for tonight! The bed should be better than the air mattress from last year.
I just started reading On the Oceans of Eternity: A Novel of the Change by S. M. Stirling.📚

A red flower in my flower bed. No idea what it’s name is, but I like it.

Found some beautiful flowers on our way to the children doctor.

Review of A Wrinkle in Time
I just finished reading A Wrinkle in Time (A Wrinkle in Time Quintet Book 1) by Madeleine L’Engle📚 this was another Amazon recommendation which I liked quite a lot. The book is rather short but luckily there another three books :-). The book was reminding me of the book Momo by the German author Michael Ende. It has a lovely main cast with problems I can relate quite a lot. And a valid message that you don’t need to fit in to be accepted.

Most people believe that open source sustainability is a difficult problem to solve. As an open source developer myself, my own perspective to this problem was more optimistic: I believe in the donation model, for its simplicity and possibility to scale.

Finally bought a whetstone.

Preparation for the next birthday 😊.

I just started reading Never Split the Difference: Negotiating As If Your Life Depended On It by Chris Voss.📚
I hate weekends where you have zero energy to work on your projects or do anything useful at all :-( Spent the morning at the swimming pool with my daugther – at least I had the power for this – but now nothing works anymore. I’m just feeling a bit duped out of my weekend.
Review of La Belle Sauvage: The Book of Dust Volume One
I did not realize that there is a prequel to His dark materials but after I found out I needed to read La Belle Sauvage: The Book of Dust Volume One by Philip Pullman📚at once. The author set this book at a time when Lyra is still a small baby and describes the events shortly after her birth when Malcolm and Alice need to protect here and travel with her to a safe place or perhaps more aptly said find a safe haven for her.

Review of Homeland
After reading Walkaway, I realized that there is a sequel to Little brother. So I naturally read Homeland by Cory Doctorow📚 as my next book. The book was a rollercoaster for my emotions, but I still liked it. The story starts slow but is accelerating throughout the novel, and I could not let go of it until I nearly had it finished. Compared with Walkaway it is a lot more on the practical side and less philosophical, which makes it easier to read.Just used this article to fix some layout issues in an app this week.
Solving Auto Layout issues is always a hassle; we run our application expecting all our constraints work correctly to find a massive block of Auto Layout error logs on the console.

Did not know that this exists and I think it is important to talk about it.

SwiftUI looks interesting. It looks like I need to install the betas this year. #wwdc
iPadOS wow took way to long. WWDC

WWDC - this are good features.

Last year on this time I was standing in line to get in. This year not.

I’ve been recently thinking about it, too. I think that since me replying to you via webmention requires my site to actively ping yours, it is safe to presume that I have configured my site and composed this reply in this particular way knowingly and with intention, so that my reply will be given to you to publish on your site. It is like editing a wiki or putting a post on a forum: a person doing it is supposedly aware that what they’ve written will be published on this wiki or forum or something. With webmentions the same logic can be applied: yes, the request itself is hidden in site-to-site protocol, but it’s still a deliberate act at its roots. Backlogging replies from silos, however (like Twitter via Brid.gy), is a whole different story, and I’m not so sure the same logic can be applied there.

@V_ replied on my site evgenykuznetsov.org/2019/ive-... but looks like webmentions aren't working properly

@nekr0z That is good reasoning! And sorry, I receive webmentions on my page but at the moment they are not yet displayed. I'm still working on the integration code, to get the mentions onto my page. One additional point, which you also mentions is "Backlogging replies from silos", I'm thinking here mostly about replies I recive via Micro.blog – not that this is a clasical silo – but this threads would be displayed as well, and my feeling is the same that this is still an open question.
