"CASE MORTE"
di Miguel Otero Silva
(Argolibri 2025)

presentazione del romanzo insieme a Geraldina Colotti (che ne ha curato la traduzione)
con un approfondimento sulla situazione in Venezuela e a Cuba
...
Mentre gli USA riaprono i giochi con Caracas e il Nobel incorona la dissidenza compatibile, giunge ad aprire una nuova collana un classico della letteratura venezuelana: Case morte di Miguel Otero Silva, il romanzo che raccontò la povertà petrolifera e la dignità venezuelana prima che il mondo imparasse a voltarsi dall’altra parte.

…
«Una casa senza porte né tetto è più commovente di un cadavere»: con queste parole, uno studente universitario, deportato come prigioniero politico, riflette ad alta voce su quello che osserva dal finestrino di un autobus che lo conduce ai lavori forzati. Il paesaggio che scorre davanti ai suoi occhi è quello degli Llanos del Venezuela, l’immensa pianura erbosa che un secolo prima aveva affascinato Alexander von Humboldt, portandolo a codificare per la prima volta il sublime orizzontale del paesaggio americano. Ma quel che colpisce lo studente non è la natura della savana, bensì lo stato di abbandono dei villaggi e delle città disseminati in quello spazio. L’autobus è appena arrivato a Ortiz, antica capitale dello stato di Guárico, la cui popolazione è stata decimata dalle malattie e dall’incuria.
[…] Risulta molto difficile non pensare, leggendo le descrizioni che Otero Silva fa di Ortiz, alle città immaginarie per cui la letteratura ispanoamericana è divenuta celebre: la Macondo di García Márquez e la Santa María di Onetti, figlie spurie della Yoknapatawpha di William Faulkner. Eppure la Ortiz di Otero Silva non è immaginaria, neanche nel nome, esiste davvero e continua ad esistere, nonostante tutto.
Dall’Introduzione di Amanda Salvioni

Miguel Otero Silva (1908-1985) è stato uno scrittore, poeta, giornalista e attivista politico venezuelano. Figura centrale della letteratura latinoamericana del XX secolo, ha concepito la sua opera come un potente strumento di critica sociale e politica, caratterizzata da un realismo lirico e straniato. Fu uno degli esponenti di spicco della Generazione del ’28, gruppo di studenti universitari che contrastarono apertamente la dittatura di Juan Vicente Gómez, appartenenza che gli costò l’arresto e l’esilio. Tornato in patria soltanto dopo il 1940, divenne un intellettuale di spicco nella società venezuelana, fondò il quotidiano El Nacional e svolse un ruolo fondamentale nel rovesciamento del dittatore Marco Pérez Jimenez.
Ammirato da Gabriel Garcia Marquez, legato da amicizia e stima a Pablo Neruda che ne riconobbe la grande forza narrativa Otero Silva è stato e continua ad essere un autore di riferimento per i grandi narratori dell’America Latina. Tra i suoi romanzi più importanti, che hanno immortalato momenti cruciali della storia venezuelana, figurano: Fiebre (1939), Casas muertas (1955), Oficina N° 1 (1961) e Lope de Aguirre, principe de la libertad (1979).

@@reiver ⊼ (Charles) :batman: @silverpill This is simply because little is written about Forte on the Web.

However, I was there when Forte was born back in September, 2024. I was on (streams) back then. Mike Macgirvin had implemented FEP-ef61 in the "nomad" branch of the streams repository a few months ago to test it. When he was confident enough, he merged the "nomad" branch into the regular "dev" branch. In July, 2024, he merged the "dev" branch into the "release" branch, causing the FEP-ef61 implementation to be rolled out to daily-driver (streams) servers.

However, it was a maze of Nomad and Zot6 and non-nomadic ActivityPub and FEP-ef61 identities for everything that boiled over. (streams) wouldn't federate with anything anymore, not even with itself. My two still existing (streams) channels, @Jupiter Rowland's (streams) outlet and @Jupiter's Fedi-Memes on (streams), were both affected by this. They were amongst the very first (streams) channels created on an account with FEP-ef61 DID support.

Mike would spend half of the summer trying to figure out what had happened and how to fix it. Even while (streams) was still broken, Forte was born in August, 2024 when Mike forked the streams repository and ripped all traces of Nomad and Zot6 support out, probably also in order to get rid of the corresponding IDs and facilitate debugging.

This means that FEP-ef61, which had literally caused this whole mayhem and which has to be considered responsible for Forte's very existence, was a) implemented in the streams repository when it was forked into Forte and b) not removed from Forte post-fork. It would not have made any sense to remove FEP-ef61 when one reason why Forte was made at that point in history was in order to debug FEP-ef61.

Sidenotes: Mike managed to fix (streams). This whole issue burned him out so much that he officially quit developing Fediverse software, effective September 1st, 2024, midnight. He still carries on working on both (streams) and Forte because nobody else does, what with how many people even use them.

@silverpill @Connected Places The problem with the Mastodon client API is still that it's a Mastodon API. As in, geared towards only one Fediverse server application. In fact, as in, geared towards a very lack-lustre server application that lacks features which have been present in many other places in the Fediverse for years.

This means that you can use a whole lot of microblogging server applications with Mastodon clients. You can even use Friendica with some Mastodon clients. But then you're limited to the features which Mastodon has as well because the Mastodon client API doesn't support any features that Mastodon doesn't have. Why should it, after all?

At the end of the day, the Mastodon client API is designed and maintained by the Mastodon developers. It's them who decide what it can do and what it can't do. For one, they won't waste their time adding features to it that Mastodon itself doesn't have. Besides, if they did, they'd support Mastodon's direct competition and strengthen their advantages over Mastodon when they could throw rocks into their paths instead like they've always done.

This, by the way, is also one reason why both the developers of Hubzilla and the developer of (streams) and Forte refuse to implement the Mastodon client API. It simply wouldn't cover at least 90% of the features of these server applications, including features which you'll need all the time, everyday. That, and they don't want their software to end up at the mercy of Mastodon's developers and Mastodon's product politics by making it depend on Mastodon's technology. They'd rather have no native mobile app at all (and currently they do).

Weather was ok (-6C, low wind, sunny) today, so salt-n-shovelled a working patch of the driveway to fit the ramps.

Pulled the #CDV from the #Kia. Not really stated anywhere, so for info a 2017 #Forte LX 6MT [Canada] indeed has an external slave cylinder next to oil filter. Easily removed.

Clutch is much more direct, traditional feel and no longer shags me up.

Also tightened oil plug (slow leak) and pulled/relubed driver door lock ~ no more graphite powder. Silicon spray lube now.

@洪民憙 (Hong Minhee) :nonbinary: Two people you may consider consulting in this case:

@Mike Macgirvin ?️. He invented nomadic identity in 2011. He was the first to implement it in Red (which became Hubzilla in 2015) in 2012.
His streams repository, a fork of a fork of three forks of a fork (of a fork?) of Hubzilla, is the place where he laid the foundations of FEP-ef61 out of necessity because he was working on nomadic identity via ActivityPub (Hubzilla and (streams) use their own protocols for that), and it was the first nomadic server software that had it implemented.
Also, his Forte, itself a fork of the streams repository, is the only Fediverse server software that uses nothing but ActivityPub to establish nomadic identity and relies on FEP-ef61 to do that. Basically, it's (streams) with no Nomad and Zot6 support, and syncing between clones is triggered by a cronjob because, unlike Zot6 and Nomad, ActivityPub doesn't provide any ways to trigger immediate, near-real-time syncs.
Mike hasn't been caught online for quite a while, though, although he's still working on both (streams) and Forte.
@silverpill is gradually turning Mitra from a typical non-nomadic, account/login-equals-identity, one-identity-per-account Fediverse software into something that's every bit as nomadic as Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte while casting everything necessary for this process into FEPs.
I'm not sure whether this will include containerising identities like the channels on Hubzilla, (streams) and Forte and allowing multiple fully independent identities on the same account, just like the same identity (channel) would be able to exist on independent accounts on different servers.

That said, is your goal only to use FEP-ef61 for identities that are tied to their accounts and their servers? Or is your goal fully-fledged nomadic identity on the same level as on Forte?

For example, FEP-171b is implemented in at least three server applications: (streams) where it was created, Forte which inherited it and Hubzilla to which it was backported.

Eine der wirklich wichtigen Features der Friendica/Hubzilla/Forte/(streams) Linie ist aus meiner Sicht, einen Kanalfilter definieren zu können, um möglichst toxischen oder auch nur uninteressanten Content aus den eigenen Kanälen ausblenden zu können.
