I want agency over our technology. Convinced the way to get there is to build a super user agent that unlocks a composable web. Can we make it happen please.

Feels like we are onto something over at userandagents.com so many of the right people are joining and taking active part in the community.

The goal for me is simple.

User agency over our technology.

That starts by building foundations and sharing explorations. It grows organically from there.
User & Agents
A community space focused on shaping the future of user-agent systems.

So glad I went to this! (you can see me in one of the photos!) Had an exciting talk with @lukeinth.bsky.social and Yan about Xenon.
Earlier today at the sync community day. Thanks @bmann.ca for arranging.

Lots of user agency focused discussions and demos.

Credit to @reckless.bsky.social for asking these questions. I've given The Verge stick for an overt unwillingness to engage on these points in print, and seeing them finally discuss the most seismic mobile platform story of the past 15 years with @timbl.bsky.social is a great start.
Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web and HTML, has expressed support for compelling Apple to allow other browser engines on iOS. He also states that having a powerful browser on iOS would "change the dynamic" with respect to web app's viability on mobile.

In a closed ecosystem the system’s creator has to come up with the killer use case.

In an open ecosystem anyone can come up with the killer use case.

anyway while i have your attention i wanna share helium.computer

helium is a bullshit-free web browser developed by me and @jj.ax. it's fully open-source, truly ad-free and privacy-first, and also lightweight. it gets out of your way, which is how a web browser should behave imo
Helium Browser
The web browser made for people, with love. Best privacy by default, unbiased ad-blocking, no bloat and no noise. Fully open source.

🎉 Welcome to our new sister project!

We're excited to introduce Synclets, an open, storage-agnostic, sync engine development kit.

Basically, the goal is to abstract out the synchronization layer from TinyBase so that everyone can use it.

It’s a cliché that “data is the new oil” that will power the next industrial revolution. Where does the data that powers Artificial Intelligence come from? And if data is the fuel for AI, what is the product?

Looking very SF out there. Ventured out got coffee and burrito. Tried to expose myself to sunlight early to reset the body clock.

@janfj.bsky.social flight got cancelled due to hitting something on runway so he won’t be here until tomorrow.

I’ll take the opportunity to sit and write for the day
