Programmers don’t have the luxury of using inferior toolsets.

but for how long?

servers are for availability and storage durability

I think it sounds cool ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

It’s intended to be much more local and decentralized than the fediverse, under the assumption that over time large fedi instances will exhibit the same issues as large centralized social networks (profit seeking, manipulation, etc)

• Instead of many people connecting to the same server, people only connect to people’s devices that they know
• It uses the resources of users “daily driver” devices for hosting
• It leverages “real life” personal connections and trust to deny access to large centralized entities

The internet, in particular social networking, needs to become personal.

I fleshed out an idea for building a personal social infrastructure system that will hopefully accomplish just that, but haven’t put “code to disk” yet.

As time passes it’s becoming more clear that this is ultimately the right way forward, but it’s a big project.

I don’t know why more people haven’t mentioned tilix.

Makes me wonder if I’m missing out by using it 😂

hardware deceleration?

oddly enough, there are models trained to generate different angles of a given scene!

you’re right about the importance of trust. leveraging and scaling interpersonal trust is the key to consensus.

I’m already benefiting from it on a daily basis, and I’m neither of those people.

Capitalists will always capitalize, but that doesn’t necessarily negate usefulness. On the contrary, by some estimates llama3 cost nearly $1B to develop, yet it’s free on huggingface for anyone to download and use.
