BTW my talk on #Holistic #LocalFirst software from #CausalIslands is already out on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0EcpqX2Wq0&t=9073s

This paints my vision for how #p2p #web / #dweb tech can fit in with #mesh networks with @agregore / #DistributedPress / @webrecorder to create a new foundation for resilient and cheaper technology.

I had a lot of fun at #causalislands this week, but I'm really thankful to be back home with my pets and plushies too. 🥰

now that #causalislands has wrapped up, some vibes:

- really great speaker selection, strong canadian representation, props @causalislands
- running themes of the death of twitter/public internet spaces, this moment before the deluge of LLMs
- kinda mournful in that way, but
- positive energy towards salvaging the future

.@nasser asking us to think about the allocation of resources at #causalislands

Managed to successfully do a presentation from my #SteamDeck at #causalislands

I still ended up needing my keyboard to hit f11, but I think I just need to spend a few hours messing with my bindings to be able to go fully controller-first.

One of my front tires popped on the highway as I was in the middle lane. 🥲

Luckily I managed to manuver to the side befoee it caused a collission.

Now I gotta figure out how to coordinate getting this thing fixed while I attend #causalislands 🤪

The conference memorabilia we’re going to have, especially the custom made jackets from Oona Clothing here in #Vancouver, is going to be stellar.

Yes there is a virtual option to attend. Anyone want to gather a crew and do a “watch party” in a major center?

And yes, there is student pricing — ping me and I can get you the link.

And yes, I’ve got sponsor spots left for you ;)

@causalislands #CausalIslands

I want to thank all of my @fission team mates for the work put in so far - and more to come!

Special shout out to @zeeshanlakhani who has been the driving force on the programming committee to help bring these incredible speakers together.
