What I'm suggesting: personal home cloud (PHC) for all. As simple as cable TV, as useful as Google drive.

Synology already has an easy plug and play solution: the BeeStation. There are many other ways to do it too, if that doesn't work for you.

Reclaim your life. Tell the corpos to eat crow.

Let me suggest that the next move is not centralization, but a new movement of distribution. I suggest moving from the cloud as a service to the cloud as sovereignty. The end user is the service provider, not the service consumer (well, technically both, but that's not as snappy is it).

It's time for a #software #paradigm #change. We've had #personal computers, we've done software as a service. Now we're f*rking around with centralized super computers (what is this, the '70s? how regressive).

Can’t wait for the end of #microslop

Lastly, all of this would be built on open standards and FLOSS. No proprietary protocols, no walled gardens.

I understand that this is not a "practical" solution, but the shape of practical is engineered to maintain the status quo.

2. the software. serve the user's need for social interaction with a self-hosted CMS and social network system. Data stays on the user's device, and can interact with other nodes directly via https (no weird network voodoo). authentication via oauth, validation using public keys and content signing

1. a UPnP device that can install service applications via sandboxed containers (docker, flatpack, etc) and automatically have it set up things like DNS, TLS and other configuration issues via a user friendly step by step wizard.

What this does is make self-hosting frictionless

I want to see realized the ability for people to host their own data, services, and social connections as easily as owning a game console. two main components to this:

@hankgreen.bsky.social Just watched your latest video. I've also been thinking about how to create user agency while enabling social interactions online. To me, the problem is the structure of centralization and the profit motive of the platforms. I have a solution to address both simultaneously.

I mean, nobody will make me an ambassador and I'm just livid. LIVID I SAY!

I've been thinking that it's young adult women all this time, if we have to pick a most influential demographic

Me, too!

ATProto is Overhyped Bunk ATProto claims to provide a decentralized way of publishing content, but it fails to solve a problem that wasn’t already solved by openly governed standards. It also does it in a less efficie…

saw your game via a reddit ad. so they're doing some work, haha (wishlisted)

I made a tiny prototype of something similar years ago (yours is much further along), and I'm curious how you're handling pathfinding.

Looks super cool! Best of luck!

That being said, the ideal would be for every INDIVIDUAL to have their own node that only publishes to exactly the subs they want and ONLY receives the data they ask for. 

We need to untrain algorithm dependency. They make us objects. Discoverability should be driven by natural demand.

Man I get so annoyed listening to techbros talk about #bluesky. They promise everything that #activitypub / #mastodon actually does but without mentioning that ATproto makes something like the #fediverse cost prohibitive.

A series of boxes and barrel sprites from Dwarf Fortress displaying the objects inside them. Things inside include: armor, weapons, scrolls, furs, gems, and food.

Dwarf Fortress just received a new update featuring 🎉Container Graphics🎉

Make sorting a breeze with unique sprites for containers and their contents therein!

Personally, I advocate for users directly owning and publishing content to subscribers with optional relay intermediaries, but nobody's asking me.

This would ask more of users, but agency must be seized. It is not given.

I'm sure most of the in crowd have already seen these arguments, but for those of you who are new to Bluesky, check this out.

Mastodon is always available ;)

A few more angles of my little light #tank build.

#lego #moc

A Lego tank, somewhat squat with an oversized turret. Treads missing

Working on a #lego #moc inspired by light tanks. This is my rough draft version. The proportions are wrong, but I got a crew of four in there. It doesn't look right, though, so I'll have to reduce the crew.

I'm also thinking of turning this into a medium tank design with five crew members.
