I love how they sing dee in "descending from the ape". #MoodyBlues #CodingMusic #Polycrisis
#valueflows is an ontology that I just learned about today that is an excellent way to make my human-cognition-focused methods extensible. My methods are simple enough to be used in real-time without servers/experts at time of crisis. https://www.valueflo.ws/introduction/introduction/
The thing about knowledge graphs is the schema can be almost anything you want. I'm de-duplicating a RPN+RDFS-like graph format using a knowledge graph. I put the lines *in*, and then I recreate the RPN-RDFS-ish text format on the way out, with duplicated lines removed. It takes some experimenting.
Note that I'm in a very specific domain of software development with self-enforced scope and constraints. This is mainly my own mantra within that limited domain. I'm sure it applies in varying degrees to other dev efforts, but I figured I'd add this disclaimer.
At 100 watts, humans are fairly economical compute, and we can do physical things. Plus, we can provide human touch which other humans need, and much life appreciates our interaction, as they know we can help sometimes. Plus, elephants think we are super-cute (even though we are messing up the biosphere). And, we can obtain the energy for our compute in sustainable ways. Now, much metal compute exists now, no additional energy needed to create, and it makes a great cognitive exoskeleton.
This #graphology design is what I need. I pin my own edge meaning, as I'm overloading the edges with two flows (material and data) as well as using a single edge to signify two-way flow and single (like how you can use both/back/forward in DOT). So, edge (a,b) is the same as (b,a), but when I assign the source and target I want that information pinned, regardless, as I have an attribute for flow. #graphviz

The GPL and more permissive licenses facilitated a Black Swan Event that the AGPL attempts to mitigate. Mastodon uses AGPL for this reason.
Reading in the semi-straight-world news about Jack funding, and reflecting against politics and layout of the thought leaders on nostr makes more and more sense. The nostr ecosystem, like many systems with base rules, evolves like John Conway's Life. NIP-01, as beautiful as it is in a KISS way, and as glorious as the extension iteration entities combine and glide across the canvas, will always guide and constrain. There are always trade-offs. There are reasons for multi-tier identity and federation architectures. Pesky math around compute, storage, energy, water, minerals and network costs, as well as the itys (maintainability, scalability, security, etc.) will all rise up in the end.
But, new things, before the weight of time and scale, are fun to do, and build real relationships with real people. Plus, when the reality hits, the experience makes it possible to do a new version that accounts for architecture, design, and requirements. The exercise contributes to resilience.
One of my labels is a technologist. At the same time, though, I believe that it is a good general rule that using technology wisely is an oxymoron. Another label of mine is optimist, so I believe it is possible to use technology wisely, although unlikely, particularly in our culture.
What I don't understand about the retro compute stuff, is that standards-based CSS/HTML/JavaScript/SVG in a browser, combined with the hard-wired OS stuff via Deno (or runtime of your choice) provides a more interesting, flexible, and inexpensive platform.
I'm not disrespecting your religion... legit offering some ideas about "all in one spot" I'm aware of:

Seriously... that might intrigue readers as an opening
I'm killing my darlings this morning. Hemingway was right, 90 percent should be tossed. It reminds me about how we are scraping everything on the web and building LLMs from it. Where are we? Where do we want to go? How do we get there? Epistemology. Ontology. Architecture. Design.
The code/data/interim export will solve insight into the default. I pull a single variable as an object into the page. After many experiments this performed the best. The HTML, CSS and other data come across in that object, loaded by the bootstrap. I can also transport the interim dot file.
Calling it a night. I did segment into two vs. four: browser and local code. I spent a bit of time creating an icon that exports all of the software. I'll still have a third chunk of code for the Pandoc filter as well as the SVGs and other assets. Probably use the export for that from the PNG.

(A Nate Hagens guest isn't normally what I would stereotype as appealing to the nostr community; however, I urge you to open up, take what is interesting and learn at the intersects.)

Three main tasks today:
- Investigate default layout settings. Are they being preserved? What options should users have for custom?
- Unify the four routines to app/tool if possible.
- Map out the full local vs. WWW collaboration flow.
I have my posting kit running again. Hopefully it will keep me focused on my work, as I can just edit a text update and push to Web (HTML), Bluesky, Mastodon, and Nostr w/o getting pulled in like Godfather III. I'll try to minimize my posts so it doesn't make y'all feel spammed.
At some point after various collapse events, a finished steer will cost more and more. Eventually it will surpass 1 BTC. It will be a strange mish-mash of opposing forces, but I'd bet a six-pack of beer we will have enough of both kinds of culture to see that intersect. Now, at that point, in a Matrix-like scene with the steak, which will your guest choose? The meal that pulverized our topsoil, along with all of the other negative externalities, or some nice tofu? My guess, if we our honest, and there are no other strings, would be, "holy shit, I'll take the steak". But, seriously... fry up some tofu in slices, and throw it on some rice with veggies... no big deal.
Not trusting the relays, like with Nostr, is a decent hack to get P2P. But, to your OP, the key term of the philosophical P2P types was/is Counter-Anti-Disintermediation, and this aligns. https://wiki.p2pfoundation.net/Counter-Anti-Disintermediation
I'm continuing to watch... found this: https://www.newsweek.com/bluesky-explains-jd-vance-suspension-2087685
600 years earlier, and not entirely on topic, but I do have a copy of the Domesday book. It is an excellent example of human-focused knowledge graph possibility as we deal with crisis/recovery.
Bluesky was fine before scale, just like Mastodon was. My experience was that the twitter migration tilted Mastodon, then they flocked to Bluesky. Bluesky then got enough scale that it attracted mainstream, and this attracted political and monetary opportunists (meat and metal). The twitter folk likely won't flock here, because the culture has a heavy bitcoin tilt along with the associated subculture aspects (some of which attract me, some of which does not). There is also an apples/oranges deal here, in that fully distributed architectures like Nostr and the older WebID/FOAF push a lot of network traffic/connections down on the client. I've had multiple accounts on both Bluesky and Mastodon, and was there during the migrations. You could watch the birds swarm and kill the forest, then watch the opportunists show up. My take is that architecturally Nostr simply can't scale to 100 million and be usable, but Bluesky can (even if the cultural barrier was overcome). If Nostr did scale like that (I'm wrong) I'd still wager that we would still have a cultural barrier, and even if that was overcome, you'd have technical barriers because regular folks these days can't secure a private key. So: enjoy this island of freedom, but I think you are assuming too much about the reasons. (yeah... like the other posts, proving your point, lol)
"Think less social media client and more civilizational filter." You nailed it right there. Exactly. I'm not sure you and I agree on the value of that, but, yes.
As I watch the public protocols/platforms implode under bots and fomo (fear of missing outrage), the more convinced I am that focusing on specific crises as we are facing during extreme change, and abandoning a stress on identity, is a valid application for streaming logical maps.
indeed. likely not the same domain as your post, but yes.

#JemBendell was the first integrated leader in the #polycrisis #metacrisis #collapse areas that I followed. He helped me integrate my own perspectives and experiences. Later, I would focus more on culture. My only variance, is that I believe there is a double bind within our culture when communicating about these issues. From that perspective, we need to learn to walk away. Personally, I focus on post-collapse tools. We will have many opportunities (not just one).
