Applied to social media, this vision suggests that rather than give the user only a feed (a single path through the world of information), we should give the user access to a whole network of trails (interconnected paths through the world of information).
Now Apple is putting the extensive identifiable analytics they collect in the App Store in action. They record every tap and there’s no way to turn it off.
das ist schon ein bisschen erschreckend, vor allem wegen …

But, as Godier’s piece notes, protocols are… boring. They change slowly (for a good reason, because you need stability to build on). They tend to change by consensus, which is messy. And rather than having billion dollar companies throwing a whole massive engineering team at making everything work, in the protocol world, we rely on constant experimentation by anyone who wants to experiment.
The open web of the nineties didn’t win because the tools were better. It won because a critical mass of people decided that the alternative, a handful of AOL-style walled gardens choosing what everyone saw, was not the future they wanted. Then they built their way out of it. Slowly, unglamorously, in rooms that looked a lot like this one.
Whether atproto ends up being the thing, or a stepping stone to the thing, I don’t know. Nobody in the room claimed to know. But the work is real, the apps are shipping, and the people building them are taking it seriously without taking themselves seriously. That combination is rare, and historically, it’s the one that wins.

andrew von @theartofstirytelling erklärt nachvollziehbar warum manche geschichten von star trek zeitlose klassiker sind, die in der oberliga der erzählkunst mitspielen. und in einem 5 sekunden-schlenker zeigt er auch, warum das bei den aktuellen inkarnationen der serie oft nicht mehr funktioniert: die funktionieren oft deshalb nicht, weil sie die moralischen konflikte zu offensichtlich und zu eindeutig präsentieren. gute geschichten fordern ihr publikum heraus, indem sie nachvollziehbare gegensätze zeigen und die grenzen zwischen richtig und falsch ausloten.
traurig so viel hybris in so wenig worten zu lesen.
