I have to admit I kind of enjoy the likes of Reddit and Twitter making their silos unusable. There's hope something better will come out of that!
Longer term I want to remove the need for the HTTP gateway and the AP server from the equation and have users talk directly to each other.
Even longer term it'd be good to remove the need for an inbox server and do something fully p2p.
Then we could focus on pure #ActivityStreams and #RDF data on the client side. (once we figure out indexing to make this stuff actually fast)

Since I'm seeing a new wave of people saying they plan to leave Twitter, you may like my browser tool that takes the zip file of your Twitter export and returns a zip file of a web site that lets people browse and search your tweets. You can just upload the files wherever you normally host html and it'll work just fine.

Here's a sneak peek at the architecture for how the #ActivityPub integration in #DistributedPress is going to work!
tl;dr:
- Publish static JSON+HTML for your posts/AP identity (on #IPFS and other #p2p protocols)
- In your AP JSON link to our inbox server
- AP servers use an HTTP gateway to load your AP data
- Users can send replies to your inbox server
- Inbox server has a moderation queue to put follower data and replies back into your site via static files / webhooks

while the rest of the world tries to solve every problem with algorithms, the pirates reopen user registration and avoid malware and spam with manual approval. all for the prosocial goal of keeping the craft alive and not losing a generation of uploaders with the closure of rarbg and other public trackers.

* Make software that works on older devices, the older the better.
* Make software that will keep on working for a very long time.
* Make software that uses the least amount of total energy to achieve its results.
* Make software that also uses the least amount of network data transfer, memory and storage.
* Make software that encourages the user to use it in a frugal way.

Today's new feature focus is on media controls:
- Mute control in the carousel view when applicable.
- Play/pause/track change controls in the quick settings panel for active players.
- Same controls on the lock screen
I've replaced my mouse (and a lot of my keyboard use) with a PS4 controller for almost a week now. AMA
I still use my BT keyboard for typing, but that's mostly cause my PS4 BT keyboard has a bunk battery from being so old.
Also I'm glad I fixed up the renderer extension in #agregore finally.
Now I can just click around links to navigate linked data right from my browser.
Manually activity-ing my pubs.
What if my outbox was just a file! https://mastodon.mauve.moe/users/mauve/outbox

Mood today: Watching shitty isekai anime and experimenting with p2p static sites for ActivityPub data.
Cost of living sads
I wish the cost of living around here wasn't so scary lately. I just want to live with my partner somewhere comfortable and afford to eat without us working ourselves to death. Even 8 years ago that seemed like a much easier feat.

Check out this cool demo from @stardustxr on what it could look like to use a #p2p #web browser in #VR or #AR !
Imagine having your browser apps / feeds as windows around you spatially.
Stardust is still in it's early stages but you should absolutely check them out!

Version 2.2.3 is out now. We've reworked the welcome page, fixed some bugs with the renderer, and improved startup times.
Check it out on your OS of choice! 🥳

Today I had a thought ( a rare occurrence 🤪 ),
you know how you do not own anything anymore?!
Everything is subscription based, and is gone as soon as you can no longer afford it?!
AI might do the same with skills, in the future people might no longer be able to do things without AI that seem simple to us now. So you will no longer be able to access your skills without money, very dystopian if you think about it. 🤔
Oh yeah I also did a live demo of making a site with #agregore :P
Accidentally deleted the original version of this thread when trying to fix a broken link. :P
@yosh this video link should work.
Also, here's a recording of the talk I did at their last conference (used to be called Bloom) on #p2p and #decentralized web apps.

I get into the weeds on #IPFS and #BitTorrent and how this technology works under the hood.
