@mauve A lot of the problems I've had to solve involve coordinating rich interactions between multiple programs that have a separation of concerns that is intuitive to people (to avoid permissions and therefore permission fatigue) while also allowing maximum functionality.
I sort of want a set of Unix-ish single purpose command line tools for ActivityPub with which to do things like:
`readnote --wait @foo@example.com | jq '.object.content' | striptag > foonote.txt`
Doing auth and the rest with cURL is a PITA but with a little automation fun could be had. Someone has to have already made this, right?
I've got #p2p #vr spatial computing on the mind.
Had some chats today about what interaction with virtual objects would even look like. So far it's a big question mark.
Another is the interfaces that should be exposed to 3d objects to be able to make them interactable but which keep them sandboxed from wreaking havoc on the rest of your space.
My tool for making a simple, searchable, themeable archive of your public tweets and threads is now live:
https://tinysubversions.com/twitter-archive/make-your-own/
The tool runs entirely on your computer, in your browser. None of your data is uploaded anywhere in the process. The output is a zip file of a basic HTML website that you can upload to a web host if you choose.
The site also answers most of the common questions I get. Please read it first before asking me questions here!
There are accounts from the first settlers to Turtle Island that the forests were so abundant with food, and that the #indigenous folks they encountered seemed to eat along their pathways while traveling easily. This wasn't an accident. The forests were cultivated food forests, a great technological advance that was then mostly decimated, chopped down, and made into monocrops of things like wheat and corn. #permaculture and #foodforests are Indigenous innovations. Let's bring them back!
People wonder how feasible it is for websites to integrate with ActivityPub. So here's an interesting thought experiment for you:
44% of websites run on WordPress.
Joining ActivityPub is just a matter of installing this plugin on a Wordpress site. https://wordpress.org/plugins/activitypub/
It is just so hard to believe that we have had computers for this long and there is still not a common easy way to send a file from one computer to another.
These computers are on the same network. But what most people would do because it's the simplest, is to send it halfway across the world to another server just so it can come back to another computer sitting within reach of that person. That is the simplest way.
Forget this new corporate controlled attempt, and just use #OpenStreetMap like a normal person.

@malwaretech the real threat was the billionaires we made along the way.
@heapwolf Do you have libsodium working in socket? Been talking to folks about getting hyperswarm stuff working but native libs seem to be a major blocker.
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.
