It's been over 3 years since I've published an update for Overland, my GPS tracker app, and I am a little terrified to re-download XCode and see how much work it's going to take to even make it compile now 😬 https://overland.p3k.app

also my poor little M1 MacBook Air doesn't have enough disk space to even download XCode, so I guess I'm gonna do that on an older computer. or buy a bigger macbook

What turns me off the most is that web1 was about people being excited to share information in new (and free) ways, while web3 appears to be mostly about money and land grabs and gambling. It’s almost like web3 is the gross capitalist dystopian alternate ending to web1.

I'm sure things changed after the federal push of boosters for all, but it was like pulling teeth to get a booster the first week of November.

weird, I got mine in October and I don't even think there was a special box to tick, just had to be 6 months after J&J

The web was already a massive decentralization compared to the "online services" model like Compuserve and Delphi.

Just implement many many good independent websites that aren't Facebook and Amazon.

I talk all the time to artists who say “I just want to support my work, and it seems like there’s an audience.” or individuals who say “I found a nice, welcoming community that’s having fun talking about art and tech.” Those are reasonable views. And we should engage with them.

I think one of the hugest things web3 people seem to be confused about is that somehow building systems that expect less trust will fundamentally fix problems of trust – it's a nihilist approach to systems engineering that speaks more to their psychology than any sound theory

If there's a "thing" you can point to and there's global consensus about it, it's centralized. I'm sorry, I don't make the rules, just stating scientific facts.

True decentralization doesn't involve a conceptually centralized blockchain, change my mind.

This sounds super interesting! Have you written about it?

I haven't written anything specific about it because it's mostly a bunch of low-level gibberish around http signing and creating funny JSON blobs, but I did spin out the code into a standalone service I've used for other bots https://github.com/aaronpk/Nautilus

I was completely happy with my income until a friend told me that if you fly on private jets you don't have to go through the airport or TSA. They just drive you right to the plane door. Welp, back to work 😭

Alright, I'm officially over #Log4J.

Not saying anything in my org is patched.

Just saying I'm done worrying about it & am moving on w/my life.

Y'all need to stop living in fear.

Just accept that exploits happen & if it's your company's time to be breached, it's their time.

I'm getting questions if curl or libcurl are vulnerable to the log4j CVEs.

Clearly not even users and customers quite understand software stacks.

Yes and no, I know that I myself at least wouldn’t be happy to have the IndieWeb referenced as a “fediverse”, but then again, I’m a bit burnt after I implemented OStatus for Flattr back in the days only to see the very downside of a federated approach when it comes to longevity…

I've implemented ActivityPub directly into my website, so my website is its own ActivityPub instance in the Fediverse. So there's definitely some overlap and grey areas between the two, but yeah generally Fediverse refers to the ActivityPub model of many ppl on one instance.

Fully agree with this point. There is so much prior art about decentralization being ignored. But most of the fediverse/indieweb folks I see have not engaged with decentralization fans to say "we've got stuff that's better/cheaper/already works".

oh we've tried, but then the glowing eyeballs come out yelling and screaming and it just isn't a productive discussion for anyone
