(#f4sdmbq) @bender@twtxt.net Perhaps it might be better to describe a “Pod” or “Yarn Pod” as a Web Application or Desktop/Mobile App that provides a good user experience to provide a decentralised set of capabilities for following and interactions with one or more Twtxt feeds? 🤔 By that definition, even Jenny would fit that bill 😉
eugen and his interlocutors have had immense power with which to challenge twitter but their racial and cultural and ideological insularity prevented them from using i
(#6fvrnqq) @bender@twtxt.net thanks for this! Do you remember the numerous times that I have stated the nuances between distributed networks and decentralized networks? With Bluesky it’s even worse as the way they are operating building and maintaining their service, It’s more closer to centralized service than anything remotely close to what we would consider “decentralized”.
(#37sjhla) @doesnm@doesnm.p.psf.lt I think it’s worth looking at the Web Browser Timeline to really understand the history and derivation of web browsers over time. I agree that building a Web Browser is complicated and hard, but that’s only because of the expectations we place on web browsers today and the enormous set of features they now carry. Ultimately we’re still talking about one of the most powerful and simplest protocols ever invesnted, the Hypermedia Text Transport Protocol and Hypermedia Systems.
But that’s not what I meant when I said “The web is seemingly garbage these days”.
(#vykcxfq) I will promote the feature then, as well as webringer and search (soon™) – After Which we can probably cut a “big ass” release 🤣 (well overdue 🤦♂️)
(#vykcxfq) @bender@twtxt.net If it’s to be removed, what should replace it? 🤔 It’s been enabled as a feature for a while now on my pod, and I do use it occasionally.
One of the things I’m going to work on next (maybe today, we’ll see how much time there’s left in the day) is being able to load up old conversations (fallen off the cache) like this one.
I want to become a solopreneur 🤣 Build a service, or a set of small services with enough customers (not too many) where they provide enough revenue and receive the right amount of value for service that I can just do that.
