@Tim Bouma The NFC stuff in safebox looks cool. Would you be into collabing on getting it published to the P2P web and testing it in @npub1mmgy...rclp? I feel like HTTPS and DNS is still a major point of failure for decentralized apps.

Occult Enby that's making local-first software with peer to peer protocols, mesh networks, and the web.
Yap with me and send me cool links relating to my interests. 👍
Just made a tool that uses local #AI in @npub1mmgy...rclp to rewrite the "tone" of text on a page with a user defined filter. You can now either up the stress level of your doom scrolling or apply rose tinted glasses with a single click.
Is there a non-new age spiritual or snake oil explanation video about what the different brain waves mean? Most folks on youtube that I'm finding seem to be full of shit.

I think in the next couple years OS-shipped #LocalAI will replace the use of heavy cloud based #AI. Microsoft, Google, and soon Apple will be shipping devices with local LLMs and it'll be cheaper for applications to target those APIs rather than pay OpenAI or the such. This will also mean that we'll get into a sort of "browser wars" of model functionality gated by hardware vendors.
Jeeze I need to curate a second less stressful fedi feed.
Pretty excited by the fact that I can reach both #BlueSky and #nostr via bridges now. 🥰 Hope more of these federated systems get bridged soon too.
Thinking of the "trusted compute" stuff that's been getting more widespread and wondering if it'd lead to users having less agency over their devices a la Verner Vinge's Rainbows End where all computing has to be approved by a central authority first. :P
#DistributedPress now has a product offerings and services page for anyone interested in hiring us to set up your #ActivityPub integration, static site hosting on the #dweb across different #p2p protocols like #ipfs or #bittorrent, and general tech stuff in this area.

Everything about Apple the company pisses me off so much. They're some of the most abusive companies out there with how they treat the needs of others.

Packing up my stuff and god damn I have more stuff than I expected :P
I think it'd be cool if in addition the #ActivityPub client-server interface we had some sort of standard for accessing your timeline using Linked Data Framgents or something similar. It'd be nice if "what you seen on your timeline" was more of a client side concern and portable accross implementations instead of needing a custom mastodon-only endpoint.

oof, I think I am approaching "caught up" on my sleep thanks to missing this alarm this morning 💀
Also it seems CBD actully works for me when I'm already a lil tired.
I feel like humans being persistence hunters carries over in my hunt for making code work. I'm out here tracking the functioning configuration through the potential space of all possible code and sweating up a storm not to overheat.
"aha, the import didn't work due to a version conflict" is pretty much the same as "Aha here's a tuft of gazelle fur on this branch" or whatever
For anyone curious this is what I've been doing for 9 hours straight:

Tired of writing text, I want to operate on content addressed ASTs in 3D instead.
We've got a new #ActivityPub implementation that'll be released in early September in #DistributedPress!
Instead of fancy frontends and databases, we're focusing on enabling statically published sites to add AP support via a lightweight Social Inbox server that they can register using standard HTTP Signed Messages.
Gonna ditch all my programming languages and go full SQL. Style my web pages with an SQL to CSS transpiler. Query my filesystem with SQL. `SELECT from videos/spongebob WHERE season = 2 | vlc`
Honestly, instead of an "API" or some sort of HTTP RPC thing or even a RESTful interface, I just want a database that I can query. Seriously, just let me load my data and be on my way. Everything else is friction and pain points.
Not a fan of how sites with search features (youtube, duckduckgo, ali express, etc) have taken to showing results that they think are a "best match" even if they don't contain all the search terms I'm looking for. What the hell is the point of giving me options if it doesn't plan to respect them? Every year data becomes more frustrating to access as stuff gets "machine learned".
You know people love to shit on Node.js and dependency hell in it, but dealing with package versions in it has been so much easier than other scripting languages like Python or Ruby. Even major updates in the version tend not to break all that much.
