this DOES actually make me feel old btw

want to feel old? we're now further from the day in 1995 when the protagonist of "The State I Am In" was troubled by a dream (which stayed with them all day) than they were from the day when they were happy and surprised (in 1975)

could really use some media that playfully mythologizes and glorifies the lives of single women in their late-thirties the way eg scott pilgrim does for men in their early twenties, that ISN'T focused on sex (eg _Sex and the City_) or trauma (eg _Russian Doll_)

I wrote a thing about why I believe the best and most useful decentralized applications are going to be the ones that utilize multiple protocols. I imagine a world where ActivityPub, Dat, and Secure ScuttleButt are all seen as tools in a toolbox rather than as ecosystems, and what kind of amazing software we could build with them outside of the central/corporate paradigm.

Three protocols and a future of the decentralized internet

Hi, I'm Darius Kazemi and I'm CS&S's Mozilla Fellow. Here are some of the things that I've been researching, building, and planning around the decentralized internet. In learning about these three protocols, I now see them fulfilling different, complementary roles.
