Timo Tiuraniemi@humanetech @hamishcampbell @activitypub I've got the impression that solid at the same time too ambitious and not ambitious enough.
Solid is just accepting that the internet is run by large corps and is just about protecting users' data better, and expecting corps to adopt it.
Whereas the kind of decentralization (not blockchain) the world needs breaks the corp silos and gives users ownership of both the data and the tools, i.e. #smalltechnology
Hi everyone! I'm brand new to the fediverse, but really happy I finally got around to joining.
I'll describe myself as a husband & father first, but after that as a geek w/ 20y of software development behind me and at least 20 more in ahead. I live in snowy Helsinki.

« Ce dont nous avons besoin, c'est le contraire de la Big Tech. Nous avons besoin de Small Tech - des outils de tous les jours conçus pour augmenter le bien-être humain, et non les profits des entreprises. » Ce n’est pas une théorie complotiste : le profilage et la vente de données privées font,...
bignoseHappy birthday @aral, thanks to #SmallTechnology for building the tools we need!
Note: yesterday’s npm package was missing certain files from the lib/ folder due to the existence of a second package.json there (left over from the mono-repo refactor). That’s now fixed in version 1.0.1.

All tested and working from a clean install now. Enjoy! :)
