Bande-son du jour : Twilight par Bôa.

Album magnifique que j’ai beaucoup écouté en CD dans les années 2000 et désormais en vinyle. Comme beaucoup je les ai connus grâce à #SerialExperimentsLain, mais tout l’album vaut le détour. La voix de Jasmine Rodgers est hypnotique.

Hâte de les voir en concert 🥰

Just finished Lain and randomly read a blurb for the last episode that mentioned an Alice.

And I immediately thought to myself "Alice? Who tf is Alice?", with the melody and all.

Well I guess there's an English dub, and they changed the names? I watched with English subs and they didn't for that. So, yeah, different name, same person.

#SerialExperimentsLain

I don't remember when I watched #SerialExperimentsLain for the first time, but I feel much more mature and experienced, so I can much better gra...

Wtf is going on in that show???

Ahahahahahahahahah!

Mistigram: around the turn of the century Cthulu would make his way to the West End apartment of @blaine and @maureen and they would have late-night, all-night binges on curated cultural selections. For a time it was Kieślowski’s Dekalog, and later it was the subject of this #ANSIart illustration, 1998’s #SerialExperimentsLain series. This portrait of #LainIwakura and #theWired was included in last month’s #anime-themed MIST0825 artpack collection.

I feel like old(-ish) anime from ~1990-2000's have a tendency to have deeper narratives and more philosophical themes than newer ones.

A few examples that come to mind are:
- Neon Genesis Evangelion
- Serial Experiments Lain
- Haibane Renmei
- Kino's Journey
- DEATH NOTE

The most common denominator in isekai (parallel worlds) and time travel scifi is: “each reality is vibrating in a unique frequency”.

It has been around since the 90s, from Japanese anime to Western live-action TV series.

How did it start? Who first used it? I have no idea. Maybe it started from DC or Marvel comics, or even earlier than that.

Nonetheless, it was the simplest idea (I think) to answer the question: “How can we detect if someone is from a different world/reality?”

And it actually works.

And maybe, just maybe, if alternate realities do exist, we do vibrate in different frequencies.

---

These are some of the fictional works that I remember (or I'm misremembering) which used this ‘theory’.

* Dual! Parallel World Trouble / Tenchi Muyo universe
* Serial Experiments Lain
* Star Trek
* Sliders
* Fringe
* The Flash

What else? Do you remember any?

#scifi #ScienceFiction #isekai (#ParallelWorld / #ParallelWorlds) #TimeTravel #Multiverse #Omniverse #Panverse #Kolverse

@commander_la_freak @emeralddawn45

That's a new way to explain it, “frame rate”.

Most #scifi that touches on #ParallelWorlds and #TimeTravel use some sort of vibration or frequency. Even in the 90s Japanese #anime entitled #SerialExperimentsLain, it used the Schumann resonance to explain its plot. And of course in #Marvel and #DC they do the same.

But, yeah, I'm not sure either about it. Is there a way to find out which author/writer first thought of this idea? Or, was it based on a real-life theory that scifi authors picked-up independently? Or, was it Star Trek that created this approach?

(And again, that frame rate approach is great. ^_^)

That'll do for now, likely missing a bunch but can add as I remember

@fediversereport @manton I agree that he has every right to trademark “Mastodon”. Actually, I thought he did exactly that sometime 2017 and 2018, because this was not the first time this happened, nor was it the second time.

#Mastodon is not a generic term as far as #SNS / #SocialWeb space is concerned. It is not a stand-in or a replacement or a sweet term for the #fediverse. It is a product. It is a brand. Always has been from the beginning. Thus, it is only right that he protects his trademark.

Now, as for a new name, there have been attempts to change it even before 2020, it's not new. But one has to wonder why there are a million complaints about the label ‘fediverse’ yet whenever people talk about suggesting names, only less than 100 participates? Ironically, those who do are usually the people who are fine with ‘fediverse’. ;)

A little background: Fediverse has been in used since 2012, first coined by Mark Eckenwiler; and in 2013 it was also coined by Marjolein Katsma, and from there it picked up (at least based on what I was able to find in web archives). It was natural. There was no voting. No discussion. The ‘fediverse’ just came naturally. And I think this is why it became the alternative label to the #OpenMicroBlogging > #OStatus > #ActivityPub protocols. Everyone simply picked it up.

However, I am open to using a different label, and I understand the point of those complaining about it. But, for it to fly, it has to be a global effort. People need to stop complaining about it, and start taking action.

So, let's have another round of discussions. Here are the suggestions floated around, in order of vote result (the instance seems to have died, it's not loading, so no link but see attached screenshot), based on 11 voters.

36% Mycelial Network (inspired by #StarTrekDiscovery)
18% The Wired (inspired by #SerialExperimentsLain #anime)
18% Torinet (tori is a bird in Japanese)
18% Omnipotamus (as in all the rivers)
18% suggest something else (see below)
9% Ganggang (a type of Cockatoo in Wiradjuri language)
9% Mushrooms
9% Fungivine
9% Webbing

No votes:
Flocks
Grapevine
Wired (inspired by Serial Experiments Lain)
Protocol 7 (inspired by Serial Experiments Lain)

Other suggestions:
* The Federation. Inspired by, well, #StarTrek. A lot replied they like this one. (note: this is also the name of the #diaspora network)
* Rebellion. Inspired by #StarWars

Personally, I like #Mycelial. But, as was pointed out by others, it's a bit of a challenge to say, and to remember. The other options then, at least based on the above poll results, would be #TheWired #Torinet #Omnipotamus.

Or,

#TheFederation – let's unify diaspora* and #ActivityPub and be done with it.

Or, #SocialWeb since it was how it all started anyway in 2005.

Or, maybe, it doesn't matter as long as one is not violating someone else's #trademark.

Everything is sacred in Japan. Rivers, animals, objects, places — all deserve respect, for they can be associated with the divine. In particular, they can be gates, like torii, that lead to the dimension of the divine. Therefore it is no surprise that even a stone can be a door, an opening to the Other Side.

“Iwakura” (岩倉) is the name of certain sacred stones used to summon the Kami — the gods of Shinto. And Iwakura is also the family name of the protagonist of Serial Experiments Lain, a very special anime that tells the story of young girl that becomes the Doorstep between the physical world and The Wired, namely,

"a virtual realm that contains and supports the very sum of all human communication and networks, created with the telegraph, televisions, and telephone services, and expanded with the Internet, cyberspace, and subsequent networks." 
([wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_Experiments_Lain))

But to me, “Iwakura” has a third meaning: it is the door between my inner “music-world” — the music inside of me — and a set of sounds that I can organize in the physical world.

So here it is to you, my Iwakura!
