@promoviczprom™️ @laurenshof @evanEvan Prodromou It does worry me though, and there's a reason it's so personal to me. The lack of signing of messages and content-addressing have lead to serious issues that, while ATproto does worse than us on the aspects of power distribution, it does better in terms of content survivability and portability, and these are things I thought were important *all the way back in ActivityPub standardization*, but we couldn't get to yet.

There is no "technical problems vs social problems" dichotomy. Social situations influence technical design, and technical design informs the kinds of social systems that are possible. Protocol development is all of this, mass multiplied.

@promoviczprom™️ @laurenshof @evanEvan Prodromou And for whatever it's worth, I think there are solutions to these things. EITHER ActivityPub or ATproto could incorporate the good ideas of the other and solve the parts the other lack.

And I can write down to do it. And I have, scattered across bits and pieces.

But it requires getting ecosystems to move, and it's very depressing trying to do that. I don't have the time in my life to sit through meetings trying to convince them that they need to solve the problem right now. So I just focus on building the directions I think matter.

I could write it all down though, and let everyone else do the fighting to make it happen, I suppose.

But I don't have power over the ATproto or ActivityPub worlds, really. The implementers of both do, and both have huge stakes and biases towards their own things, and investments in the directions they already are convinced they should go. I have a say, and an ability to critique, and people listen to me, but only sort of.

I don't think the UK media have made nearly enough noise about the US Navy sinking an *unarmed* Iranian warship and then, in clear violation of the Geneva Conventions, leaving them to drown.

This is a heinous war crime which the media would be rightly up in arms about if any country that wasn't nominally an "ally" had done it.

USA: It is time we kill the religious extremists.

Also the USA: Attacking Iran is part of God’s devine plan, and President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth.

RE: mastodon.social/@twostraws/116

Officially the fastest-growing* SwiftUI agent skill around! Folks have already been in touch to say it's identifying problems (and solutions!) in their projects, so give it a try if you're using Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Cursor, etc 🙌 (* Yes, this is an xkcd 1102 reference.)

중국 식세기입니다.
공간이 좁은 아파트가 많아서
이렇게 싱크대 옆에 식세기를 두는데
특이점이 있다면

중국 식세기는 거의 종합 세척기라서
과일 채소 해산물도 세척 가능하다는 거.
아무래도 중국 시장에 맞는 제품이라서
이런 게 많이 흥한다고 합니다.
