To be truly countercultural today, in a time of tech hegemony, one has to, above all, betray the platform, which may come in the form of betraying or divesting from your public online self.

Just downloaded #Ariane and I love it. Already well made. I can see great improvements too.

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, which is trying to solve distributed finance amongst other problems, using Object-capability theory.

We've been making enormous progress on the CapTP layer of Spritely Goblins, which lays the foundation for all the major distribued networked components of Spritely to come!

But... what exactly is CapTP, and what does it enable? https://spritelyproject.org/news/what-is-captp.html

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.

Keep being visionary.

I've made massive strides on CapTP for @spritelyproject and honestly, I think this is the most important work I've done in my life. But it's hard to explain *why* when few people even know what CapTP *is*.

So: CapTP explainer 🧵, right here (with blogpost to follow):

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.
