atproto, nostr, webxdc, solid, remotestorage, and 'dApps' each have a different focus and data flow.
but i can't help but see them as collections of "web apps".
and think it'd be possible and cool to give each web app the combined user base of the others.
might not share the network, but you can share the gui.
is it naive to wish that their web apps could support multiple or all of these instead of rebuilding similar apps per platform? isn't it made of the same stuff/standards but just read/writing data differently?
when i see "writing, photos, bookmarks, todos" rewritten because "platform", i can't help but think of "5 networks of screenshots posted from the other 4".
The Left looks for traitors, the Right looks for converts.
the hard thing about starting a habit is often unclarity on how to integrate, more so than the action itself.
i find this counterfeit money logic a bit weird where the seller avoids accepting large bills for small purchases, but if they accept them for large purchase it seems equally bad
beautiful to think about the long life trajectory of steps that led to meeting someone you love, and how the whole world played a part
"having a platform profile is like living in a single-room apartment, whereas having your own site is a castle with unlimited rooms."
i learn from everyone, but the teacher is myself
grouping these together:
related to communication fails creating a false sense of authority and effectiveness. somehow everyone loses, but the speaker doesn't know.
i continue to be blown away by local community centers all over the world and how they offer so much that isn't legible or relevant to technological systems – the underrated potential of not needing platforms to care for or live with your neighbours.
the rep is to confront and deal with instead of ambiguously avoiding.
"I don't read PDFs."
think, move, listen, cook, hydrate, breathe, music, people, play – every day
there are too many problems i've solved with nail clippers
composing (to place/put together) becomes necessary when you don't have everything
a kenyan woman got out of her rickshaw as I walked past, looked at me and spoke in english, "hi jesus!"
you can spend half an hour on projects or goals that intimidate you, and progress even if you just observe your discomfort and where it might come from.
the idea that "practice must be in sessions" keeps us from using space between the cracks. remind yourself to hang for 1 second, do 1 pushup, handstand while waiting for a file to download.
psa to please help your friends setup tech alternatives as a social event: switch together so everyone transitions successfully with known contacts on the new platform. lone profiles leave momentum on the table.
like a paywall requires money to access, a nerdwall requires technical knowhow
