Anthropic's "skills" paradigm resonates a lot with Christopher Alexander's theory of Pattern Language.

In our culture, convenience and frictionlessness are seen as virtues, but I think inconvenience and friction are much more virtuous and generative.

Threads is effectively shelving their fediverse integration, after it saw marginally little use Zuck has played the game well, harming both open protocol movements while growing his platform, getting good PR and distracting regulators connectedplaces.online/reports/fedi...

My take is that Meta and Threads have played the game well. They immediately capitalised on the moment in 2023 when decentralisation and Twitter-alternatives got large-scale attention, and knew how to say the right buzzwords to ride the wave. It got them in the right light for regulators, and gave them something tangible to point out to say ‘hey we’re doing interoperability now!’. The fediverse turned out to be highly vulnerable to such a strategy, a sitting duck for Big Tech companies to pluck some good PR from. That it turned the fediverse against itself, resulting in vicious and endless arguments about whether servers should block Threads, and whether Threads joining the fediverse validated the movement, was only a nice bonus. By slowly rolling out an implementation over the years Threads built their own positive-PR machine, every slight update worthy of a new article that put ‘Meta’ and ‘Interoperability’ in the headlines again. That nobody ever really used the integration between Threads and the fediverse never really seemed to matter, only the hypothetical future mattered. Nor did the press seem particularly interested in reporting on the fact that marginally few people seemed to be using the connection between the fediverse and Threads. Still, the company found itself a place at the table for protocol conversations about ActivityPub, which might pay dividend in the future if the need arises.

GGWP to Mark Zuckerberg and Adam Mosseri, for the skillful execution that helped Meta significantly, nestled themselves into the fediverse were it ever to become useful again, and taking some of the wind out of Bluesky’s sails as well as a bonus.

Venture Commons would be nice. But the whole "venture" thing predicates risk for a potential asymmetric fortune. But investing in a commons predicates risk for symmetric collective flourishing. The 'risk' is still there, but the 'fortune' needs to shift from 'cashing out' to 'living in/with'.

Tired of corporations abusing your brain, extracting your money, data, time, ownership, and privacy, and enforcing hidden agendas through censorship? Make your pfp a Clippy to recall a bygone era of software that was genuine, helpful, and not evil. #ClippyClipsBack

The fact that we all unknowingly became a distributed LLM model trainer due to being required to fill out captchas in order to do anything online. 🫥👌 #digitallabortheory

Laundromats are so underrated; they're one of the living pulses of a community. Talk with the locals, check out the community boards, take life slow for a few minutes.

Sometimes ADHD is the best thing ever and basically a superpower. Lately, it's been more like my kryptonite. Coaching, meds, and coping strategies and I still can't get shit done. 😮‍💨 ADHD hacks anyone?

Living in an RV can be lonely. I think it's largely due to the community design of Campgrounds and RV Parks. They would make a great substrate for community and mutual aid.
