Yay, really happy to see cool folks on the fedi coming from twitter 🥰
@todrobbins @edsu Is there something like this but without needing to make an actual app account which could isntead use my login token directly? :P
I wish Twitter's checkout feature also gave me the contents of all the tweets I liked and replied to so I can get a more full view of my history. 😢 I realize this would have implications on the privacy of the authors of those tweets tho.

I don't know who needs to hear this but
The postal service exists to deliver letters and parcels to people
Not to make money for shareholders
The transport system exists to move people to where they need to go
Not to make money for shareholders
The water, gas, and electricity supplies exist to provide people vital utilities
Not to make money for shareholders
The healthcare system exists to ensure (and that's ENsure, not INsure) the health of the population
Not to make money for shareholders
Shareholders in vital public services are a vampiric drain on those services
Capitalism is a disease
Just wrapping up an interview process, and dang, I really don't know if my written/speaking skills are good enough to pass it. 😂
Blows my mind that what folks refer to as "front end development" these days, would have just been "development" before tech normalized hiding the bulk of the product in centralized servers. :P
@andia Yay, glad you liked it! If you want I'm more than happy to have a call or something with folks to answer questions you might have. 😁
Ah yes, after saying to myself I'm gonna take the week off, a bunch of urgent ish stuff landed on my lap and I'm stuck doing work. :P
At least it's less than my usual load!
It'd be cool if all the Brands™️ went off to make their own bubble on the fediverse.

I read this elsewhere: If trusted news outlets would start offering #Mastodon instances to their staff, that would bring some sort of verification and visibility. Think social.nytimes.com, social.heise.de etc. I'd love to read more from trusted journalists on the #fediverse and this could greatly help. (Again, not my idea but couldn't find the original author.) Boosts for visibility would be great. Reminder: Favorites don't help as on this other platform.

Optimising #Mastodon = designing flows that encourage people to leave mastodon.social for other instances, not accepting any more new members on mastodon.social, and making design changes that limit how much a single instance can scale.
A single instance that can scale to host hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of people, is not a design success in decentralisation, it’s a design failure. (It’s a design success in #BigTech.)

@aral Personally, I've been working on making efficient p2p database indexes and finding a way to represent ActivityStreama in them so that we can start bridging between fedi and p2p. 🥰
@samplereality @weirdsatellite@botsin.space Excellent, thank you for the link, 🙇
Are there some "weird twitter"-like fedi accounts I should follow?
Low key wanna build a minimal mastodon client and publish it on the p2p web. :x
Peep the 7 min mark where I try to do a live coding demo and have to sit on the floor to try to see the screen. 🤪
Also, here's another talk I did at #IPFS Camp 2022 on #Agregore

My nose was kinda congested and I was going on 4 hours of sleep as usual so I'm glad I managed to get it working at all. 😂
Main takeaway is that I think this #localfirst web stuff is important for creating resilient software in the face of global climate change and political turmoil.
@cblgh lol, it was a bit tough NGL. 😅 But to be fair, one of the talks was a duplicate of the other, just in different tracks.
Here's my talk on what #IPLD is at #IPFS Camp 2022!

I was the third talk I was doing in as many hours so excuse me if I was a bit tired. :P
Still pretty happy with how it turned out.
