I had the chance to speak about Radicle and it's local-first elements at FOSDEM. Thanks to @nikobonnieure.bsky.social and openlocalfirst.org for giving me the opportunity to do 😊

Got to meet some great people, and managed to squeeze in a few talks too 😮‍💨

If you're in London for a while, hmu! Could grab a coffee :]

My trick is accepting the ephemerality of life and that I'm lying to myself that I'll read that tab eventually 🧘‍♂️

Bluesky restricting my access to message somebody until I verify my age.

Well this is absolutely fucked. I can’t DM someone who I mutually follow because of age restriction in the UK?

Let me quickly switch to my Irish sim 🙄

You should have seen the state of the local-first room

An abstract piece representing code bases 😚👌

I don’t know man if capitalism has just resulted in a small network of pedophiles destroying all life on earth then perhaps we should consider that it is a complete and utter failure as a system

Thanks Ben 🥰

William Byrd is who presented miniKanren on the day!

I had a similar thought when I first was introduced to Idris and miniKanren during a functional programming Meetup, in Dublin.

These languages could produce code based on type signatures and tests, respectively.

Throw in an AI and you get a code generated, guard railed system 🚄

My thoughts are purely declarative

There'd be a lot more remote workers in Galway if the WiFi only worked when it rained

@fintohaps.bsky.social is back talking about The Future Home of Open Source with Funding the Commons (bsky.app/profile/did:...)

Food for thought for the time being 😄

I'll be curious about how you want tackle consistency for comments. Diff algorithms have parameters that can be chosen by the end-user. So, we've wondered how to give power to the users while also having a consistent view 🧐

Currently, there is a data model for reviews, but it's been more of a light-PoC, and definitely needs more thought.
That's where linking in with Flirt would really help!
Radicle is also extensible, so there could be a Flirt specific COB (Collaborative Object).

Hey 😊
I'm one of the maintainers on @radicle.xyz, and came across your blog. It's super interesting and quite the undertaking – love to see it 😍
It would be great to explore how Flirt could work with Radicle. We've thought about some of these problems in the past too – without any solutions (yet!)

Not an ez problem :')

Can't even imagine doing it without a type system :P

Face officially melted 🫠

DJ'd at a friends 30th last weekend for the first time ever with @colm.from.fourth.best and @fintohaps.bsky.social a bunch of other mates who had never DJ'd before and it was so fun everyone should have an all-friend DJ lineup for their parties 🖤

But at the same time, I'd totally understand if you didn't want to look into it because of where the funding comes from.. it'd just be a real shame 😇

Fwiw, I work on Radicle (author of the above post :)) and I reserve my own skepticism about the blockchain ecosystem.

That being said, there is no intention to ever require anything blockchain related for the Radicle protocol.

We strive to stick to Git and build a local-first experience :)

Jujutsu + Radicle = ❤️

Follow along with @fintohaps.bsky.social as he details how he put his Git workflow into submission with Jujutsu 🤼

Looking forward to hearing about their reply, or the lack-thereof

Yo 👋 There's an multiset example here app.radicle.xyz/nodes/ash.ra...

Sorry we weren't too vocal about this feature. We want people to use it, but at the same time, are cautious about its stability 😄
