(#knoga2q) @prologic@twtxt.net The me value of the HTML rel attribute indicates that the linked page is the same user’s profile on another site. It’s useful for identity consolidation, enabling things like RelMeAuth on the IndieWeb. So it would be nice to be able to have that attribute on links to one’s own website (and to one’s profiles on other sites) from the ā€œUser Linksā€ section of our profiles here.

(#t47rjwa) @prologic@twtxt.net Maybe it’s harder to get Dendrite working properly (it’s pre-release software after all I guess) but I never had any issue with Synapse, I had it up and running in ~15 minutes. The issue I did have was that it’s a resource hog (mainly because of backfilling large federated rooms) but a few tweaks to caching settings improved that and I’ve been running for over a year with no issues at all.
I do agree it seems over-engineered in many ways, I must say. But overall I’ve been really happy with it and it’s now one of my primary communication platforms.

(#mcoz7za) @screem@yarn.yarnpods.com Wow haha I’d never thought of Android as having much in the way of customisation options – though I guess some vendors add a lot of that sort of stuff. I’m not one to customise my operating systems much – I like good clean defaults and I don’t really like to change them. I love macOS because I feel it hits the sweet spot there, but I loathe iOS because it’s just too locked down. I don’t care for UI customisation, but how can you forbid me to install my own choice of web browser FFS. Or anything else not blessed by the gods at Apple.

Decentralisation starts with decentering yourself.

šŸ’Æ Great quote. There’s a chicken and egg problem, and those of us who understand the problem and are happy to be early adopters need to be the ones pushing forward hatching more and more eggs until that chicken appears (umm ok idk if that analogy makes sense but you get my drift šŸ˜†)

decentralised and distributed (we likely are here now)

Nah. Unless by we you mean us here on Yarn. But as a society, I reckon we’re at least one or two steps before that – I’d go with your ā€œnetizens asking why?ā€ at best. Much of society still hasn’t even got to that point honestly.

(#mcoz7za) I wonder how niche the market would actually be? I feel like half the people I know would love a phone that didn’t mean either selling your soul to the world’s biggest advertising company or being locked into an expensive walled garden by the world’s most profitable brand.

@prologic@twtxt.net I’m not so sure there’d be a lack of good apps, I don’t think the situation on the desktop translates well to mobile. Google is pushing flutter pretty hard for mobile and it’s getting pretty good adoption, and it’s inherently cross-platform - Canonical are even using it for desktop apps.

(#bxxbuya) @prologic@twtxt.net this is where my interests lie. small and tight-knit communities that are decoupled from centralised systems. i’ve always thought that every human should have their own corner of the internet. or perhaps i’ve watched too much johnny mnemonic. i read the history of yarn and it aligns.

i may or may not have at one time worked at one of these big giants


#6bfy4za

i really love the idea of yarn.social. this is encouraging me to start my own pod. perhaps some of my connections might join. it’s a clever way of doing things compared to say fediverse or ssb


#bxxbuya

(#nswpp4a) @prologic@twtxt.net Hi 😊 Good to see you again! In general things are good, a little tired of the covid restrictions and I am insanely upset by the global chip shortage because of this good computer hardware becomes less available + the ruble exchange rate is storming.

How about you, what’s new? I periodically glance over here at twtxt )
