Zuckerberg Is Right About Open, Decentralized AI. He’s Also The Last Person You Should Trust To Deliver It
The reaction to Mark Zuckerberg's 6,500 word AI manifesto, "The Future is for Everyone," has been all over the map. Given the messenger and the topic, there's plenty of reasonable skepticism. 404 Media called it "deranged." TechCrunch pointed out that Zuck's manifesto is "exactly why people don't like AI." But then you have groups like...

A field report from an afternoon spent searching the firehose.
In the beginning there was the protocol

Expanding The Social Layer
A protocol is only as alive as the people who use it.
Breaking from the Median
The barrier of entry has been significantly lowered for design and technology. But what does this mean for individuality and identity online, and how can we return to digital independance? (My first blog post)
Gemini, Gophers, and Fingers. Oh My! Alternative Internets Beyond HTTPS
Finger from 1971, Gopher from 1991, and Gemini from 2019. These protocols offer decentralized, terminal-based alternatives to the modern web. The small web's is in a renaissance. On the solarpunk philosophy of intentional technology, and how these protocols meet you where you are, whether you're on a machine from 2005 or just tired of Chrome's monoculture.
Beyond Decentralization
Power asymmetries have consistently driven the pursuits of egalitarian ideals. Some of them had lasting consequences: Athenian democratic reforms, the Gracchi brother's land reforms in Ancient Rome, the Venetian republic, the Peasants revolt in the Middle Ages, and the French Revolution are just a few examples.[1]

Distributed Tracing with Open Telemetry
Recently, I have been working with Open Telemetry tracing at work, namely on adding tracing support to multiple web services in order to understand where time is being spent. Since it has been quite an interesting experience, I decided it could be a great idea to write about it, with a tiny demo.
