@retr0id that’s kinda what Willow does: https://willowprotocol.org/more/timestamps-really/index.html

@bnewbold @pluralistic isn’t this missing a crucial detail?

The whole reason why those 100k users can be switched across service providers so easily is because all of their ID keys (did:plc) are stored on the singular Bluesky-operated https://plc.directory

That key-ownership does not change with the move, so complete Bluesky-independence has not happened yet in this case. Those users are still dependent on an essential piece of Bluesky-infrastructure.

‘Governable Spaces: Democratic Design for Online Life’ by @ntnsndr also comes to mind.

Wholeahearted-agree, and @kissane is well on her way to back such statements up with both science and better practice https://sfba.social/@neuralgraffiti/113393059427973956

Google CEO says more than a quarter of the company's new code is created by AI | Hacker News

(news.ycombinator.com)

Self-interested hyperbole aside, I think that’s a laughably low number for what is now effectively an ‘AI Company’. I’m sure >95% of Google employees use Google (well, at least until recent years).

If this stuff really works as well as these companies claim it does, wouldn’t their entire workforce excitedly be using these tools already?

It makes me sad that some #fediverse and #activitypub
advocates don’t believe a pluriverse of social web protocols is possible;

that’s literally all the web has ever been. Additive, composable stacks.

It was never that *one* protocol. It’s the mixing and matching of multiple protocols - like http+html ad infinitum - that makes the World Wide Web so resilient.

Plurality is the web’s superpower; the more you fight it the more the pluralists will route around you instead of with and through you.

@matthew @matrix
1. Industry/ecosystem adoption (Facebook, Discord..)
2. I’m still experiencing a lot of the lost-message issues due to encryption, and I feel like a move to MLS might be what’s needed to solve that once and for all.

@matrix congratulations!

> what might Matrix 3.0 bring? (…) Could it be switching to #MLS (or Decentralised MLS) for encryption?

That would be absolutely amazing as a top priority for v3

@lume this type of add-on for #mastodon is frankly all I ever wanted in a fedi-comments integration. I already have an account on here and I’d like to keep using it to solicit commentary the same way I have been for years already.

Curious what thoughts you have on this @zicklag

There’s something quite ‘web of data’ about Hixie’s idea, but you’ve arguably come up with something far more backwards web-compatible in #leafprotocol

@robin @kissane @ntnsndr (dunno if any of you are podcast ppl but..) I think you’ll all like this one:

“Most of what we think of as technological problems are really institutional problems”

@smallcircles thanks! I’ve been trying to get to recover this link for so long, haha.

It’s a novel concept well worth considering as an experimental path. Would be cool to see someone make a browser specifically made to explore this.

@laurenshof this is excellent and deserves a ‘Are atproto’s PLCs centralized?’ blog post

@ntnsndr yeeees! 🥳

@ntnsndr you connected with this work yet?

Four tools that CIP is working on — The Collective Intelligence Project

CIP is doubling down on building tools to enable better, more well-informed collective input into important decisions. After a couple of heads-down months, we are excited to share four exciting technical projects we’re currently undertaking.

The Collective Intelligence Project (www.cip.org)

> We’re experimenting with taking [Collective Constitutional AI] process and making it possible for any group of people to come together, construct a constitution, and fine-tune an open-source model based on this constitution. This brings together our Roadmap priorities around advancing collective fine-tuning, building for open-source approaches to model governance..

A Roadmap to Democratic AI — The Collective Intelligence Project

Our roadmap outlines concrete steps that can be taken in 2024 to build a more democratic AI ecosystem that is adaptive, accountable, processes decentralized information, provides public goods, and safeguards human wellbeing. We describe what the ecosystem could build, research, advocate for, and fund in 2024 to democratize AI.

@benpate I hope you can find a way to collaborate with these people: https://subvert.fm/blog/a-collectively-owned-bandcamp-successor/

Both of your projects look awesome, and would work even better together!

@nlnetlabs would you happen to know of any (preferably Node.js) libraries that abstract over multiple DNS providers and provide one API for setting DNS records regardless of which provider you're using?

@zicklag has been asking around about this but no luck yet.

# of Personal Websites currently available on the web is an interesting metric to measure for the #indieweb movement as well.
