Evan Prodromou is a visionary. I recommend this interview with him on the potential of ActivityPub and the end of walled gardens.

Very happy he is all right.

And !fuckcars.

“Prodromou” is a Greek surname, with the rough meaning “the one who walks the road before others”.

So him being “a visionary” is fun, lol

If that's the literal translation it's also a bit ironic that he was hit by a truck.

… Yeah it is 🫠🥲

In literal terms it translates to “before-the-road” (pro - drómou)

(this literal translation includes the ambiguity of before- as in ‘temporally before’, or before- as in ‘in front of’)

So any way you slice it, it’s pretty ironic.

Broken ribs are no fun. Slap that guy that tries to make you laugh and gods help you if you get a cough.
