how did i get here ... on the outskirts of rationality like Eris or Sedna ...

cobbled together a rudimentary explorer for @wisp.place sites the past few days we grab wisp sites off the pds and serve them in-browser with a service worker and indexeddb. i think it's neat explore.wisp.place

hey we're really working on permissioned data! read the first in a series of posts i'll be doing about our design decisions along the way. this one is about our decision to not do an e2ee system

keep thinking of northernlion calling it "tanking a convo" for tolerating stuff you dont care about. is it ... do people say this all the time ? am i a mob

Soft launching my Keybase on atproto alpha: @keytrace.dev Basically the identity verification system from keybase/keyoxide but storing the identity claims on your registry and signing them based on keys in mine. It is not focused on PGP, but on making it possible for social apps to handle identity

i feel the perverse desire to buy another techo cover and stuff. and it makes no sense. it's perfectly fine. it's meant to last forever. stop it

idk about you guys. i've been anthropomorphising objects since i was born

keeping your soul, not drifting too far from the initial attractor state,

sometimes i wonder if there's something about us canadians making stuff like this www.imdb.com/title/tt0116...

sometimes i read a book and it has redefined so many new terms that if i internalise it, i'll have to unpack it or else seem even more obscure, to say that oh yea knowledge is something that derived from and is subsumed into my being in the world. philosophy is pursuing of life

You don't even sound a little bit devoted to the lotus sutra

i wanna make a city that feels as real as fuyuki

the attempt to defy dunbar by holding combinations of opinions which don't reduce to the 150 equivalence classes our standard issue hash functions are capable of supporting is interpreted as damage and routed around

imagining .... permissioned RSS ........ you could always req it with a bearer token but that requires a server to check the auth ..... but what if you did asymmetric pubkey stuff on a separate delineated rss feed ... like per circle of ppl you create custodied keys ... yea ... well anyway gday

everytime i see The takeaway: or ## The takeaway or The point: I feel suspicious and also like i cant be trusted to have any reading comprehension

why not be utterly changed into fire?

unless you hate groups and stuff then don't. we're jacking on. that's right. we're milk

complete high trust telepathy zone

I’ve been thinking about open source work that sits between “side project” and “venture-backed startup.” Watching the atproto space has sharpened my thinking around shared, communal infrastructure. These are some thoughts on why that middle path eroded and what it might take to rebuild it.

4b) your north star must be that you are _undeveloped and primitive_ compared to what you could be. you offer stability and incentives to grow not because you must fund pension systems 20 years from now but so you might evolve entirely past the civilizational need for them

periodically in life I’ve felt the “evolve or die” pressure; rarely, but it’s felt that way lately, like something in me has to change, something isn’t working …

somehow this is always when ppl want to come up and visit

in the beginning the word was gathered, then planted and tended. in these latter days the word has enfleshed spirit itself. it now remain for us to plow new soil for old etymologies, in order that the body may complete this metamorphosis.

fredrin 3ds theme?? fredrin 3ds theme?????

i remember some study saying the millennial writer voice is more uniform than previous generations and now i wonder if in another generation everyone's gonna talk like claude. not like claude generated responses, more like that's the default mode

Getting me Mishima books as Christmas gifts: a bold choice but I guess I’m into it

Happy Christmas :-)

went down to Toronto so my partner could meet my parents; going back up to Montreal so we can spend the rest of Christmas with hers. This is normal. I am normal. Normal Christmastime
