Wrote a new post exploring three ideas I keep coming back to: local-first software, user-controlled personalization, and decentralization as a way to avoid single points of failure.

The short version:
→ Your data should live on your device first, not on someone else's server
→ Personalization should mean you owning your identity, not an algorithm profiling you
→ Decentralization isn't about hype — it's the same principle behind email and P2P networks

I tried to keep it grounded and skip the buzzwords. If you're building in this space or just thinking about where software is heading, I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Your Data, Your Rules: Local First, Personalization, and Decentralization Without the Buzzwords

There’s a quiet shift happening in how software is being built. It’s about where your data lives, who gets to control it, and what happens…

"It is common to hear the word “#decentralized” thrown around in modern tech circles. But often, this is merely a marketing term for “slightly #DistributedCentralization”. A blockchain with a few dominant miners, or a federated protocol with a few giant servers. In practice, it’s still centralized. It simply has a few centers instead of one. Reticulum goes further. It wants #Uncentralizability." https://reticulum.network/manual/zen.html#decentralization-or-uncentralizability #Reticulum #DemandUncentralizability

@rstlix I would love to talk more about this someday (when we both have the time)
