#technology_and_its_amazing_consequences — Public Fediverse posts

Noticed this already by yesterday:
"[...]In 2024, a few people working in the AT Protocol ecosystem—the Atmosphere—founded the AT Protocol Community Fund to produce the first AtmosphereConf, provide community forums for developers and other people working on the ecosystem, and administer micro-grants for Atmospheric projects. As we look toward the third AtmosphereConf in 2027, we’re happy to announce that we’re transforming into a cooperative dedicated to supporting the health, growth, and stability of the Atmosphere. This is the first post from the Atmosphere Community Cooperative, a new global cooperative based in Canada that is governed by and for the community, for the good of the ecosystem and the people inside it.[...]"
Really curious to see where this is heading and what's about to grow out of this. Comparing this to the Fediverse, it seems like in for a completely different approach to handling things. But at the same time ... it seems much more focused, planned, dedicated to making it to some kind of goal while (intentionally being a bit more bitter than it seems appropriate perhaps) in the ActivityPub realm for the vast majority it's still not even possible to fully migrate between different instances of the same software while new rudimentary clients and servers seem to pop up every other week, introducing extensions and approaches (and bugs) putting either a maintenance and communication burden on the people taking care of the other implementations - or on the users stumbling across the various compatibility and feature glitches when communicating across system boundaries. Drawing that thin, fine line between independent, decentralized projects and teams on one side - and some kind of structured, clearly outlined and hopefully somewhat agreed-upon cooperation on the other. But maybe I'm too bitter in ine and too optimistic in the other direction. Let's see.

Halfway through the evening. Continued effort to make sense of artifacts. Or: Written word, formulas, tables and measurements that ought to make up a picture but don't. Pondering hieroglyphs and ancient knowledge, just the timeframes differ. (Eventually, sighing, shrugging, facing the mirror self, feeling the warmth of artificial rain, the lines where ones outer shell connects the rest of the physical world, the cool metal the house the foundation and everything else below ones own feet, actually perceived or just imagined. In a certain mental state one probably tends to start focusing on details, zooming out. Regardless of whether information is or isn't wanted or needed. Have a calm sleep everyone wherever you are.)

Short refresh cycles, fast task switching and lunch break but more like a nagging interrupt that, once accepted, will completely mess up all to come afterwards. Code structures. Configuration fragments. Even more code structures. Amazing to see how incredibly much the amount of components added to parts of the system has increased - very much unlike documentation and guidelines on how to handle these. Stepping out into the wind for a while. Consciously trying to avoid thinking about where this speed comes from. #outerworld #concrete_city #office_hours #technology_and_its_amazing_consequences
