๐Ÿง˜ Pieces of mind (S2025-E05)

In a tumultuous galaxy, dynes across the network exchange know-how and action items. Resilient, sovereign, and steady. They source the hope within and spread it throughout, elevating their peers to root and reclaiming reality. Home is not a page; it is a private key.

... The Internet RESILIENCY CLUB? ... wow!

... aha... Understood!

Who doesn't love a RESILIENCY CLUB? Can you believe how cool this name is, even? Fellow dyne, you should contemplate starting one of these:

Last year, ChatGPT was the 15th most visited site in the world. Now itโ€™s #5. It just passed Reddit, Amazon, and Whatsapp, and itโ€™s still climbing. Every other site in the top 10 is falling. Wikipedia is down nearly 6% in a single month (from March to April). Traffic is quietly getting gobbled up by ChatGPT, meaning less clicks to blogs, forums, and even search enginesโ€ฆ Almost like people are skipping the web entirely.

That's because they are. For millions, ChatGPT isnโ€™t a tool anymore, itโ€™s the interface. Look closely at this chart.
Chart for top website: 1. Google.com 2. youtube 3. facebook.com 4. instagram.com 5. cathpgpt.com 6. x.com 7. Whatsapp.com 8. Wikipedia.org 9. Reddit.com 10. Yahoo.co.jp
This isnโ€™t normal growth, itโ€™s a changing of the guard. One interface taking over while the old one quietly fades.

And once you notice it, you realise - the internet isnโ€™t evolving. Itโ€™s being replaced.

๐Ÿ—ฃ๏ธ WMF2025

Here's a rare video of a wild dyne appearing at We Make Future 2025. The WMF has stemmed from an ambitious idea: to create an open, inclusive, and collective tool that can have a positive impact on society through the contribution of every single person and reality partaking in it. This is a big production: look at the size of that slide screen!

In the channels, some dynes complain that the speech was not delivered as karaoke. After all, it is the Italian medley of all the classic Jaromil smash hits!

๐ŸŒš DarkFi's Proof-of-Work alpha testnet

The moon-folks on planet DarkFi released their proof-of-work (PoW) alpha testnet ๐ŸŽ‰ This milestone is one major step towards the anonymous, uncensored, and sovereign future we were promised. Dark.fi stopped waiting for it and is currently building one. It has its own blockchain with fully programmable smart contracts, its own peer-to-peer (P2P) network, several apps, and tooling. All areas have seen substantial work.

The main changes over the previous testnet are:

  • โ›๏ธ Moving from a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) to a Proof-of-Work (PoW) consensus mechanism.
  • ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ’ป Improved native applications and some new applications.
  • ๐Ÿ•ธ๏ธ Hardening and substantial improvements to the P2P network.

Read the full announcement and find the complete change log on dark.fi

๐Ÿ•ธ๏ธ The Autonomi Network (previously Safe Network)

Imagine a single 40k file of HTML that loads from a secure anonymous p2p network and talks to it over a REST API provided by a local dweb server. Secure, encrypted, p2p social media. Simple to install and join.

Autonomi looks like it is going to be fun: a cross between chat and Microblogging

Error 417 Expectation Failed is an independent foundation supporting radically contemporary Internet art and net-based arts practices. Art as infrastructure and resource for more art.

Classic XKCD meme about people being wrong on the internet. But this time the dialogue goes: "Are you already in bed?" - "yes." - "I thought someone was wrong on the internet?" - "Lots. But it turns out i have more space for LOVE when I don't fight. I'll write something educational tomorrow... Are you coming?"
