Mastodon.ie - Open Collective

Okay I know everyone hates this article but there's a nugget of truth in it. One of the possible futures we can gun for is this.
https://www.techdirt.com/2026/03/25/ai-might-be-our-best-shot-at-taking-back-the-open-web/
Make things. Make _personal scale_ things. The tools help bridge the truly high barriers we've managed to put in in the tech industry.
This will have a lot of problems! We don't have collective knowledge for this yet / again. The people with Sysadmin Mindset have been burned out or subsumed into the Cloud Computing machine.
But there's a chance here to take the web better places. We should take it.
(If you're worried about everything turning into paying to rent access to a digital landlord, I have bad news about where we've been since 2012.)

What if we're making the wrong bet about progress?
Just watched someone crack open a million-year-old fossil like it was nothing. Made me think: we open ancient things believing we'll get the most value NOW. Not later.
Same with AI. We're betting progress will speed up AND slow down at the same time.
Weird, right?
New post explores why we value personal forever but trade away our collective future for almost nothing.

@… A fair question and I wish it were possible! Unfortunately our fiscal sponsor on Open Collective would not allow Kickstarter contributions as expenses (as Kickstarter by definition is prepayments), per the documentation:
