Honestly that’s just as much because atproto is a raw data protocol. Putting an http frontend on an atproto account is something we encourage and a lot of folks do. I do that on pfrazee.com for instance, and my leaflet blogposts (which are

Relays are actually quite cheap now! They used to be a bit more expensive when they archived all the traffic, but in sync 1.1 that was dropped and they can be run on $20/mo VMs pretty trivially now

Bluesky is the opposite of locked down

Wcyd? It was the name that Dorsey chose before the PBC was even formed. It's from the technical term of art, like greenfield.

Fyi it’s actually called bluesky, not bluewhatever

“Losing” is a loaded word choice. If I buy something I’m really happy to have, I probably don’t describe it as losing the money. Obviously the investment expense has been extremely high, which is what the replies are quibbling about.

OS-level is so much better than app-level. App-level means redoing the work for each app and increasing the odds of issues.

No disagreement there. If you want to keep updated on the permissioned data protocol you can follow daniel's leaflets https://dholms.leaflet.pub/ ( https://dholms.leaflet.pub/rss ) The public side is ext

Yeah I’ve met the Radicle people a couple times. I’ve never given it a thorough review but, for their goals, their designs have always seemed strong, and they’re pleasant people to chat with. The main difference was atproto wanted to tackle

The most valuable thing Tangled will ever do is establish the protocol of Tangled. Once that’s done, it lives as long as people are willing to run it.

Yeah the problems they seemed to have were over collaborative data structures with permissions. You’re right about how atproto solves that, which means you’re using CRDTs if you need to collaborate. If that’s a fit mismatch, I’d tell people

Absolutely none of this matches my experience.

Technically you can still view the posts directly from the PDS. It’s just uninteresting compared to web pages

This writeup is useful for backend engineers: https://atproto.com/articles/atproto-for-distsys-engineers The simple answer is that atproto works like the web & search engines, where the apps aggregate from the dist

Just want to add that the AT Protocol IETF working group has been formed, and the PLC directory independent organization and board has officially been established. I’m at the closing talk for this years Atmosphere Conference as I write this

I’ve never felt so motivated to fight on your behalf

Indeed. There has been zero political opposition to these laws. Apple isn’t going to pay the fines on our behalf, so we need to get organizing if we don’t like this.

Pretty sure it’s California that’s got the OS law

How long till that’s illegal? This situation is being treated like a bad business decision. It’s not. It’s a new set of laws. It’s bigger than just Apple.

They actually have very few choices, and they had only a few months to get it done. Just like the rest of us.

You are aware that the law applies to Linux desktops and will likely be included in a system update soon?

I was sure I’d hate it. But I actually think it’s pretty good

Age verification has been put into law across the world over the last year. Apple doesn’t have a choice.

Dont get me wrong, I'm a pretty big believer in interop, but in practice I've rarely run into a situation where I need to mix components from multiple frameworks. Especially because React is so dominant.

by pfraze 7mo ago
Wasn’t that the Lit framework? It was okay. Like a slightly more irritating version of React. I recall the property passing model being a nasty abstraction breaker. HTML attributes are all strings, so if you wanted to pass objects or functi

Reactivity isn’t the problem. Reactivity is one of the few things that helps reduce the complexity of state management. GUI state is just a complex thing. Frontend development doesn’t get enough cred for how deeply difficult it is.

Ah, that's right. Forgot about that one.
