Reading about #Scuttlebutt lead me into #Solid. I recommend reading about both to anyone who wants to drown himself in open tabs and discussions about how the future might look like. If someone has any opinions or similar technologies please share it. I am specifically interested in the flaws of such architectures and how things can go wrong in the future (assuming global adoption).

@ketmorco yeah every time I try to think of scuttlebutt as a thing other than a very cool experamint I fail.

@ketmorco @tychi that's what I like about Solid, you store your data wherever you like and you give apps permissions to your data store (pod), so apps compete on the quality of viewing and interacting with your data. what we have now is the app with the largest data wins.

@cy Thank you so so much! I didn't know about most of those technologies, probably I will spend the next couple of hours studying them. I just want to ask what's the one with the best chance of success in your opinion.

@cy yeah GNUnet is the one that took my attention at first glance, maybe what we need is to stop fixing symptoms and redesign most of it from scratch. Thanks again for your time.

@brad @mray My problem is that my GPG key is associated my this email and every time I mess with GPG I do something wrong (the word itself now gives me anxiety). plus this email is everywhere now. I think the wisest thing is to use custom domain email so you can move easily at any time

After spending my whole break reading about new (and sometimes experimental) technologies and protocols that try to fit into a better future for the internet, I came to the conclusion that we already have it in our hands, the fediverse. the key point of federation is that it gives you many degrees of freedom based on how much convenience you want to get. self-host it if you want or trust someone to deal with things for you. whatever your choice, we can still be together at the end.

@mray yeah the fediverse is not solving every problem with the internet unfortunately. there is much happening these days that will facilitate self hosting, the raspberry pi, the rise of the cloud hosting companies and the crazy increase of the self hosted software out there. I can imagine in the near future that normal people will deal with their cloud computer as a normal device and installing a web app will be as easy as installing any regular app.
