Can someone I know add blake3 to the S3 supported checksum algorithms please. I’d take non AWS blessed support by R2 also. Thanks

Problem isn’t a technology, but an asymmetry of power distribution that this technology is amplifying. Silicone valley had being looking to disrupt & this technology is like no other, unfolding it in front of our eye. Those that benefit are ones on top with no regard to those being disrupted

I do miss work culture in Netherlands where I was actively deterred from staying in office after hours or doing any work outside. I was always told to invest this time into social life. Was young and stupid to appreciate back then
A Dutch worker went viral after explaining to their American boss that they have a life outside work.

Found myself trying to manifest algebraic effects in rust through docs.rs/genawaiter/l...

Yet still can’t articulate clearly why this is justifiably better than dependency injection at construction
genawaiter - Rust
This crate implements generators for Rust. Generators are a feature common across many programming language. They let you yield a sequence of values from a function. A few common use cases are:

Interesting perspective which I have not considered up until reading this
How We Lost Communication to Entertainment ploum.net/2025-12-15-c... "The main problem with reliable communication protocols? It is a mostly solved problem. Build simple websites, read RSS feeds, write emails. Use IRC and XMPP if you truly want real-time comms. Those are working and working great."

So much good stuff here
radiant.computer/log/

Feels like a moonshot, and I do find it very exciting. Most tech lately feels like business and productization on the boring complex infra.

So glad this kind of efforts are still possible

Radiance has both of my favorite things Object capabilities and Software Transactional Memory ❤️

If it also had lisp notation like early radicle I’d be ecstatic

Is LLM going to reinforce your biases or someone else’s ?
If LLMs make thinking 10x cheaper, will you think 10x less, or 10x deeper?

Can’t help but I wonder what we could have achieved if we poured as much resources into elevating human intelligence

Sadly business incentives are strong force that makes businesses prefer native apps as they can assert more control over users, ads are unblock-able and tracking isn’t as easy to stop

fxtwitter.com/Steve_Yegge/... I think it is interesting to notice that beads provides in many ways similar features as issues do in @radicle.xyz

Makes me wonder if radicle issues as a standalone tool can be interesting wedge for making issue tracking more #local-first

At protocol as a verifiable personal commitments ledger is potent
Built cryptographically-verified endorsements for at://work. The core innovation isn’t just cryptography, it’s the consent model. Both parties must explicitly agree to create a verified attestation. This changes how trust networks form. @atwork.place #ATProtocol

Looks like people are rediscovering that protocols enable building complementary software which better aligns with public needs than competing software.

I just wish some of this excitement could be channeled towards upgrading protocols like SMTP

Honored for the opportunity to talk about our work
Irakli and Chris (independent researchers) will show us reactive UIs via declarative Datalog rules and sync through commodity blob stores like S3.

Irakli and Chris' research perspective should make a nice constrast to the commercial focus for the rest of the conf.

I've been collaborating on Dialog: a new kind of database that I plan to make use of in #Familiar. At Local-First Conference I gave a hallway track demo of how users of the database may query over partial replicas (even empty replicas). Here is a screen cast of the demo: youtu.be/0a_Nb2CAoJc?...

I am so very sad to loose Mikeal, yet immensely grateful for the opportunity to get to know him and be profoundly impacted by him and his work. My set of memories of him

Really enjoying Arc browser, which seems to have made some of the similar UX choices as we have in browser.html
Also built-in tool to customize sites you visit is really empowering.
