One thing cyberpunk missed is that we don’t jack-in or log-on , the internet has become a sea which we swim in and no longer see until us-east-1 falls over
I think we need a new way to make networking a deliberate act

Does your work involve storing digital art objects or other digital cultural media?
If so, we invite you to complete a 5-10 minute survey about your digital storage needs, practices, and perceptions of new technology solutions.
Your insights will aid us in prototyping a distributed storage system dedicated to preserving digital assets long-term.
Complete the survey by August 5, 2024.
@zicklag @silverpill @smallcircles Cool, I'd love a link to the repo once you have it up. Our tools at DP are protocol agnostic and we're publishing across whatever we can so this could be a nice addition some day.
Do you have a target audience for your new network?
@zicklag @silverpill @smallcircles Making new protocols is fun but it ends up making smaller and smaller fragments. Fewer people will wanf to adopt a thing that has no users and no apps. Building from an existing standard meand you can bring users and content to the thing that's unique about your approach faster. A lot of these new protocols are less unique than they want to think. This is coming from implementing many of them over the years.
@zicklag @silverpill @smallcircles I wouldn't use iroh for your case. Their mutability is under iroh docs and is currently in flux. Earthstar's implementation of willow would be closer to your goals since it permits more conplex operations over the keyspace. If you aren't satisfied with AP, Noster seems closer to your constraints. I am doing p2p acrivitypub clients in @distributed for example.
Cryptography is cool and if you are using proveb algos it's actually pretty easy to use
Omg I want a modern remake of Sonic Adventure 2 so bad 😭 They could do something like Spyro and Crash but for the gamecube sonic games or something.
Communal child rearing is cool too but the inter-generational family system has been destroyed for so many folks already or is in situations where the relations aren't safe. Hopefully more folks can build healthier multi-gen systems but it's not a 1 generation project.
I think it'd be nice to do two part time parents or alternating being a house spouse. Some poly friends have also been talking about triads with a house spouse and two workers.
So many things can't even be imagined under the boot we are being crushed by.
It makes me sad that a lot of families can't afford to be single income. I have a lot of friends that ended up having trauma stemming from the fact their parent's were too drained by work to be able to spend time raising them. Full time work in general is something I wish was abolished.
@melroy @lutindiscret @agregore would you be interested in cross linking between our documentation and linking to sites that work on both?
Agregore also supports IPFS and markdown :)

Prime day is a great time to remember that alternatives to most of Amazon's services not only exist, but in cases like audiobooks are actively superior to their offering!
E.g. libro.fm, where you get to both own your audiobooks and support local book shops. Seems better than giving Bezos more cash
@fabrice Yeah, heisenbridge does not seem to. I don't want another app just for irc when I already have my matrix bridges for it :P
@sarahjamielewis Are there plans to add a regular cert eventually? My client does not permit self signed certs 😿

Advertising isn't inevitable, it's a thing that was invented, it became the dominant funding model on the web because it appears to have no cost to the user and it doesn't appear to interfere with the free and open access principles of the early web.
It actually has significant cost to users, we pay in time, privacy, experience, and security.
It's eroded the free and open web, spawned walled gardens whose only goal is to capture more of the user's time.

Companies: oh noes hackers broke in and stole your old data 😢
Me: and as usual I can do nothing except wait and see what cyberpunk crimes they or their buyers attempt, right?
Companies: right! 🤗
Me: how about you stop hoarding customer data to sell?
Companies: haha wtf no 🙃

i was this kid, in beirut, using cracked and pirated software to learn how to program. stuff that was never released in the middle east or stuff that wouldnt make sense to buy for a 10 year old. and guess what? microsoft didnt go out of business. and i have a career in media art and software engineering despite being from the armpit of the world. win win. intellectual property is fake, steal from corporations, kill the cop in your mind.

How ‘bout instead of machines that steal from artists to “democratize creativity” we have machines that steal from billionaires to democratize money
