It's not just an idea anymore. It works, and we're currently making it happen. ☑ Multiple music providers ☑ Multiple themes ☑ Cross Platform, powered by @UnoPlatform. ☑ Completely open source. Words can't express how hyped I am for Strix Music 2.0!

I'm pretty much exclusively using Mastadon now. Every time I open Twitter the situation looks worse, so I've stopped opening Twitter so much. Find me at @Arlodottxt@mastadon.lol

Alright, time for a plan B. I'm giving #Mastadon a try. @Arlodottxt on Twitter and @Arlodottxt@mastodon.lol are now mirrored. #WindowsDev and #dotnet peeps, feel free to join me.
Elon Musk dissolved Twitter's board and became the sole director of the company. Having his own vision of what the platform should become, he is best able to make decisions related to this https://t.co/3XRfcSv97U

I've been a dev for 10 years, and the terms Web 1, Web 2 and Web 3 are completely useless. But the web itself IS facing some growing pains, and we'll have to solve them eventually -🧵

OwlCore.Storage has been released. Every detail has been meticulously crafted with feedback from the community. A tweet can't capture how hard we worked on this, how nice it is to use, and the potential it unlocks. Just go check it out: https://t.co/nJIVZMtElR

OwlCore has over 23k downloads, and version 0.1.0 has been released! Working towards a 1.0.0 release, we've cleaned up all outstanding tech debt and split into several packages. Release notes on Nuget: https://t.co/9vOLAdREAG GitHub: https://t.co/MrlSkHMkJe
Wow. OwlCore has already surpassed 10k downloads. I think a good number of those are task runners, but it's good to see so many people making use of the handy toolbelt I've built alongside Strix v2!

Closing remarks: Build something amazing and share it with the world, instead of quibbling over these stupid terms.

There's a lot of technical nuances to this. I'll leave you with this excellent (short) explainer video. If you still have questions, ask below or try your favorite search engine. https://t.co/OM8JokbUDz

This is also exciting for places with limited / no internet, volatile infrastructure, or extreme censorship. A single cable going down in a storm could mean losing half of all available websites. With ipfs, if ANYONE has the content, you can access it.

As a developer, the possibilities that this unlocks both now and in the future are VERY exciting. https://t.co/xXHEsksM32
@skane2600 @VittoStack As a dev, IPFS is the biggest thing since the cloud. Put a website on there, it stays online even if my server goes down. Use it in a server, it's basically free blob storage. Embed it in an app, your users 100% own their data and can sync devices. It's an insanely useful tool

@protocollabs has been working on this problem since 2015. They're building the distributed web. Instead of HTTP, software uses IPFS. Content can be requested by anyone and provided by anyone. Devices speak to each other directly, without a server.

Anyone who's used a torrent may know, the file was provided by other everyday people, those who also downloaded it. What if you could apply that functionality to the entire internet?

Distributed computing and p2p tech have been around for 20+ years. It comes forms like WebRTC, Git, BitTorrent, distributed databases, BTC, Kubernetes, CRDTs, etc.
