Yeah, programmatic finance, banking APIs or protocols, etc. The obvious hurdle is primarily security across networks.

Perhaps then you might be interested in the @spritelyproject@octodon.social, which is trying to solve distributed finance amongst other problems, using Object-capability theory.

I'm super excited, congrats on your breakthrough! I'm dying to contribute when I have the chance to (and when I understand enough to). I'm slowly understanding the potential of @spritelyproject@octodon.social.

Keep being visionary.

Google has suspended Element (@matrix) from the Play Store for "Sexual Content and Profanity". Basically same story as with Subway Tooter a while back. Element is to Matrix as Chrome is to the web. Curiously, Chrome is still on the Play Store.

I wrote a small, colourful fetch for MSYS2 on Windows. Written in hackable POSIX sh.

Now everywhere I go it's neural network this and neural network that. I'm going crazy.

The solar flare just hit, all your digital lifetime's work is gone.

eg: "I'm on the Jabberverse! Message me using any Jabberverse app."

lol sounds stupid but so does every new term.

It intuitively evokes federation and a plurality or clients, even if a normie can't put it in words, something "Jabber/XMPP" doesn't really evoke in natural conversation.

def:

The distributed instant messaging network of federated clients and servers governed by the XMPP (Jabber) protocol.

Throwing it out there.

It might have been so in certain circles but there's never been a strong consensus afaik.

I took it apon myself to make a stand and narrow down a most applicable definition for the Fediverse on Wiktionary.
en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Fediver

@cwebber@octodon.social briefly gave contributed his opinion for the entry too.

Do you think it's a good idea to create a term like the "Jabberverse" to use with people?

eg. Instead of saying "use any app which uses the Jabber/XMPP protocol", say "Use a Jabberverse app". Much more natural and intuitive.

I think this could be very useful, like "Fediverse" for ActivityPub. Language is powerful when used well.
