Flash from the recent past : Statement on discourse about ActivityPub and AT Protocol by Emelia Smith https://rmendes.net/bookmarks/2026/02/18/flash-from-the-recent-past
Fun fact, your computer doesn't have USB ports (USB is a protocol, not a connector).
Funner fact, even if your computer has USB-C receptacles it might not be using any type of USB as protocol for a specific connection.
Funnest fact, there's at least a dozen different types of cables that use USB-C plugs with various capabilities, sometimes mutually incompatible and often silently falling back to slower protocols.

I was fed up with Matrix and tried coming up with my own federated chat protocol. It got really complex really quickly.
In order to resist enshittification it needs to be decentralised. It can't be P2P because that would drain phone batteries. It must be federated. But that means that your admin could read your messages. So it must be federated and encrypted. And that's where it starts to get real tricky.

Most bitcoin is still, in long term hodl. Not helping anyone.
Sure, you could lend your bitcoin for interest but that would count as a tax event and also involve losing custody.
What if a programmable sidechain to help with scaling, allow borrowing and lending and products retail and institutions like?
His solution is called Sundial and doesn't need new protocol changes or forks.
Hard to say what it actually does though? Presumably something like liquidity in sidechains? Didn't really seem to get what he actually is building. 🤷
