La pantera roja<p>Me puse a leer sobre <a class="hashtag" href="https://pleroma.arielbecker.com/tag/urbit" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Urbit</a> y oh my dog, es como abrir una fosa séptica y que miles de cucarachas y ciempiés salgan corriendo de allí a infestar todo.</p><p>Básicamente es un blockchain neonazi, libertario y ultrarracista que envuelve lo que básicamente es una secta de gente completamente del orto que pretende retrotraernos LITERALMENTE a la Edad Media, pero no la real sino la mítica, la confabulada. Pregonan y desean un nuevo oscurantismo, para citar sólo la puntita del iceberg.</p>

modulux<p>Some thoughts on how curiosity can make us fall for schemes and give passive support to projects we'd otherwise wouldn't.</p><p>Today I received an email newsletter from <a href="https://node.isonomia.net/tags/urbit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Urbit</span></a>. I'm a subscriber, because many many years ago, I became very curious about the technical aspects around it. This was roughly during Bitcoin's early days, when the fascination with projects that defeated Zooko's triangle overcame the concern with consequences that had not, as of yet, become manifest. I also was not aware to what extent urbit's designer was not only a fascist, but someone who had wilfully embedded feudal logic into the protocol. After acquiring a couple of free planets (I think they were called spaceships back then), I fiddled some with it, and became disappointed with the extremely weak typing system and the fact all the "down to principles of computing" sale was a scam, in the sense that anything practical can't run on Urbit other than by calling non-Urbit code (jets). The prospect of having a system that slowly freezes into perfection is a good one, but without proofs it is all arbitrary. Likewise, the choice of language made it very hard for me to program with it: by chance or not, Hoon and NOK are almost custom-designed to be tough for blind programmers. After a while I lost interest and the promise of a system that lasts forever didn't take long to break, so my credentials became useless.</p><p>Now in this newsletter I got offered a free planet, and yes, a big part of me said, "try it, take it." Curiosity and perhaps the fear of missing out on something good prodded at me, and I did open the website.</p><p>But this time I stopped myself in time. I may agree that computing as it exists is a bad model, and that we need something that individuals can understand, that is deterministic, legible, and hardens into an optimum system. But Urbit isn't that. Urbit will never be that. It's a fascist political project wrapped in a technical vision that, while having a couple of good ideas, is ill-conceived in its means and ends. I don't really want to touch that again.</p>

mikekato<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://social.beaware.live/@BeAware" class="u-url mention">@<span>BeAware</span></a></span> I get that. It&#39;s much more than allowing the various flavors of social networks to intercommunicate. Interoperability is a fundamental objective. But without being technically proficient and running your own fediverse instance, how can one maintain control of their data? I&#39;m skeptical about <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/urbit" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>urbit</span></a> and its attempt to displace &quot;the internet.&quot;</p>
mikekato<p>I&#39;ve been reading about the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>fediverse</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/activitypub" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>activitypub</span></a> There&#39;s a plethora of stuff about both online, but it&#39;s quite difficult to understand. Is there a simple explanation out there? I mean, I get it basically from a technical perspective, but how do I explain why it&#39;s a better way to a layman? Another thing, what&#39;s good about <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/urbit" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>urbit</span></a> ?</p>
Dimitri Dhuyvetter<p>Reading about Urbit and Dimes Square and it’s both sad and scary. Is the world really turning this much to the right? Is this the “new” culture. I’m sure it’s not as simple as that but just knowing there are people who believe or want to live in this neoreactionary phantasy? <a href="https://thepointmag.com/politics/final-fantasy-neoreactionary-politics-liberal-imagination/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">thepointmag.com/politics/final</span><span class="invisible">-fantasy-neoreactionary-politics-liberal-imagination/</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/urbit" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>urbit</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DimesSquare" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>DimesSquare</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/neoreactionary" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>neoreactionary</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/edgelord" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>edgelord</span></a> :thaenkin:</p>
Yung_Rotwelsch<p>I follow Tlon and the <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Urbit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Urbit</span></a> crew on Are.na and even though I can’t shake the feeling that they’re creating a solution to a problem they created themselves and that the ghost of Yarvin is still haunting the source code - oh boy I get excited every time I see UI designs or general design sketches from them. They manage to create counterculture vibes that I would much rather see in <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fediverse</span></a> than on a digital feudalistic platform.</p>

indyradioIf you wonder what I have against <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/urbit" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Urbit</a> - it's Peter Thiel, and the fact that you really don't own your instance. <br>Otherwise, it has some good ideas. Thiel will try to buy up more things like this. I won't be surprised when he finds a surreptitious way to own <a class="hashtag" href="https://blob.cat/tag/mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a> GMBH

The new user chat room in the documentation wouldn't let me connect. I tried to use the <a href="https://bitcoinlizard.net/tags/Bitcoin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bitcoin</span></a> wallet and couldn't find a live backend to connect to let alone find up to date documentation on connecting my own node. <a href="https://bitcoinlizard.net/tags/Urbit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Urbit</span></a> just doesn't seem ready for prime time to me.
