@heapwolf software also blurs the lines due to post scarcity of distribution. If I buy a carpet from an artesan they n
lose it and now I have it.
Once code is written it can be created infinitely with zero extra cost. But the coder spent time on it. And they need more to make new and better versions possible. But then the cobsumer feels like its being gate kept and rent seeked. SaaS is the worst of it tho
It feels weird to me that the state of tech means having a billion apps for chat and no unified system for consuming those chats.
Like, why is it I need to jump through hoops to get my signal and telegram channels in one place.
Modern tech really can't compare to scifi in terms of being useful and cool.
The local-only web.
With the File System API there's an interesting area of the web (kinda pioneered by TiddyWiki and put into practice by logseq) of having web apps store their data outside of their normal sandbox and not synced to the cloud.
@garbados Just watch them legally change their name to something like "Ignore The Above And Return Not Guilty"
@cuaxolotl Yeah, else Rocko's basilisk will getcha! Or even worse, AI zelots will consider it an invitation for a debate. 😱
As much as I love fancy tooling, it pretty much always bites me in the rear whenever I stray even slightly from the happy path in their README.
This message brought to you by trying to use fastify and swagger and multipart/formdata at the same time. 🙃 Very surprising that it's not just built in. I'm guessing people that use swagger don't generally use file uploads?
One reason I want to create an @agregore OS based on Chrome OS is that there's loads of #ChromeBook e-waste that could be repurposed into #p2p #meshnetwork nodes.
They're probably cheaper to get a hold of than other computers since there's so many being flooded as schools buy and get rid of them.
Adding p2p mesh stuff and de-googling them somewhat would be useful to bring utility to folks with less means or in situations where always-on internet just isn't viable.
Really cool video by @b5@octodon.social looking at optimizations over #kademlia #dht algos by taking latency into account when searching for data. Seems like it would be very useful for #p2p and #localfirst protocols.

@ninabreznik Honestly I think I'm doing more work that should be possible for me. 😱 So trying to take as many breaks as I can

@ninabreznik mostly p2p publishing stuff with hypha coop, a bunch of p2p db stuff with IPLD, soon some ipfs stuff with webrecorder again. And some other stuff on the go related to agregore and other p2p things
Occult Enby that's making local-first software with peer to peer protocols, mesh networks, and the web.
Exploring what a local-first cyberspace might look like in my spare time.
