We're experimenting with federated geosocial features in Bonfire, free from surveillance capitalism.
Check into your local community garden. Add location to mutual aid requests. Find tools nearby.
Imagine your local fablab or community center sharing check-ins, calendars, events, opening hours - all federated. A living hub for what's happening there.

This unlocks new possibilities for local organizing, let's explore together 🔥
Still get nightmares about the effort I had to put into doing multicast UDP over Android wifi hotspots.
@jimpick.com Snap! I hope I'm that cool some day. I got some haptic output / EEG input projects on the backlog which might fit the vibe.
@dan_ballard Big same on cyberpunk media inspiring me.
1. Yup, they're a USB-C display that happens to go on your face
2. Usually I set the display scale to 2x to read the text better. Might not need to with the large screen emulation/3dof in the XReal One Pro. I usually only use the display when on the go or on the couch. I have a 39 inch display I use like 70% of the time
3. Linux driver / XR desktop support is not great. I like it more than laptops. Input devices can be tricky on the go
@dan_ballard Yeah feel free to ask any Q's. Consumer HMDs are a major interest of mine
@peersky So cooool. Gonna add it to my TODOs to check it out. The work you've been doing is exciting and is inspiring me to work on UX more.
@dan_ballard Viture XR Pro but I'm probs going to get the new XReal One Pro once I can justify the expense :P
@burrito.space Literally me
@jimpick.com Yeah I think he's mostly active on keet in the dev room. Maybe also twitter?
@jimpick.com The hypercore folks have been pretty active. Might be worth it to poke them: https://holepunch.recruitee.com/
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.
