After seeing another nudge from @atprotocol.dev, I finally got a proposal for a presentation/lightning talk in for atmosphereconf.org "@lofi - ATproto and local-first software" - Looking at local-first tools for user owned private data and how it can interact with Atproto.

Finally got to write up some of the things I've been working on this year. This was a fun open source collaboration and I'm looking forward to where it goes.

Hey, I just launched an app called Antler. The app showcases how we can rebuilt WeChat Mini Apps, but using open web standards. dmathewwws.com/antler-an-ir...

Looking forward to making some noise again just before Krampus day: luma.com/k7fspser

Coding Trance music from scratch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iu5r... using strudel.cc a live coding platform to write music in the browser.

Anti-fascistic software is made possible by pro-labor licensing. I've been trying to write this piece for years. Every time I get started I'm just overwhelmed with paralyzing visions of the FOSS commentariat accusing me of WrongThink. But I'm tired and we urgently need to get our shit together.

What is #folktech? Read the recap from the first convening on Oct 18. Check out the slide deck in the post and sign up for the next virtual event on Nov 19 here: luma.com/h0nmrgu9?tk=... dwebyvr.org/recap-folk-t...

A number of DWebYVR events for November for you. 📚 book club 📓 tools-for-thought hack day 🥘 potluck! dwebyvr.org/dwebyvr-nove... #vancouver #tech #commons #community #ethicaltech

threw together a lil web component to add this to any input. super easy progressive UX enhancement for your atproto app! tangled.org/@jakelazarof...

Sunbow caught #hiking the Howe Sound Crest trail with @tjofthegreen.bsky.social this August. Wasn’t sure the camera would capture it but it did work.

Trying the local models in the Apollo iOS app recommended by @chadkoh.com. Had it search for Canadian news. It seems pea producers are facing tariff challenges, making it difficult to replace aging submarines.

Mind you we also made the only ever hieroglyph lyric music video so far youtu.be/51kLlktsCqY?...

I love working with talented friends. This is one of my favourite lyric videos and it’s to something I wrote youtube.com/watch?v=dkyc...

In preparation for various projects I've been putting together an @astro.build + @atproto.com login starter: tangled.org/@daffl.xyz/a... - no database (or other storage) needed and hopefully fully web standard (and edge runtime) compliant eventually.

For anyone following along he is referring to @dwebyvr.org 😉 Come join us! And if you are not around Vancouver check getdweb.net to find (or create!) a node of your own! 🙌

The point for Canada was that counter tariffs ultimately just hurt the people but making it legal (again) to fix your own tractor or reverse engineer a proprietary file format or API for compatibility is where it does hurt the mega corporations that are supporting all this.

Lots of great takeaways from seeing Cory Doctorow talk about Enshittification yesterday. One that stuck out for me was using right-to-repair and repealing DRM laws as a sovereignty tool.

@tangled.org Was looking forward to create a new repo with some actual code but all I'm getting is "Failed to announce repository creation." when trying to create it.

Thanks to everyone that attended the community call today! 🍿 For those that couldn't make it, here's the recording featuring @patternist.xyz, @nikgraf.bsky.social, @daffl.xyz, @spiralganglion.com, and @seaofclouds.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwOw...
