  Under Medicare For All (M4A), how much tax would you expect to pay for a family of 4 per year? $6k? More? Less? https://www.reddit.com/user/brineonmars/comments/1vgcb30/medicare_for_all/ #medicareforall #m4a

  #IndieWeb #OpenWeb #SmallWeb's discovery problem always bugged me. So I built discover (https://discover.brine.dev): human-curated RSS feed playlists. The lack of Trackbacks/Pingbacks also bugged me. #Webmentions are just too much fuss. Then it occured to me: discover has a few hundred high-signal feeds; I bet I already have a link graph?

  My best take on blog discovery... https://discover.brine.dev discover is a hand-curated list of RSS feeds worth following. Writers, makers, and thinkers who actually share their work via RSS. Browse by playlist or tag, preview posts before you subscribe, then take what you want. Copy individual feed URLs or build a custom list in My Feed and export as OPML. 100% free. No accounts, no ads, no trackers. Your follows stay in your browser. #IndieWeb #RSS #OpenWeb #Blogging #Discovery

  So... I'm currently working on an app I'm calling "speakEZ". It's a personal, kinda-discord replacement. - invite-only chat - built on Cloudflare Workers (free tier), KV, and Durable Objects - async ed25519 passphrase auth (phrase never stored or seen outside of your brain) - No accounts, no database - WebSockets, markdown, image uploads - WebRTC p2p voice channels - tdd unit/e2e #CloudflareWorkers #IndieWeb

  Goodhart's Law warned us about platforms in 1975. But the flags in my analytics dashboard aren't metrics... they're postcards. #indieweb https://brine.dev/posts/postcard_from_kyiv

  @michaelharley@infosec.exchange I don't think badges (we don't need no stinking badges?) are a good solution. Lies abound. It's VERY early... but I may have a solution? https://sigyl.org #indieweb

  Over the weekend I wrote a protocol. A lightweight, human-dependent web of trust. Publish a JSON file on a domain you own. A human who knows you, vouches for you on their mirror, using their domain as stake. That's it. Math turns "Hey, careful man, there's a beverage here" into an identity. No servers. No database. No blockchain. No algorithm. Humans required. https://sigyl.org/

  @nilaypatel@threads.net Vergecast is great, you're great. Decoder's audio is over-compressed and small. Ie. shit. Fix it? And the your little _essay interludes_? You don't need them. Trust the conversation.

  ## World of Brine: E5 Let's Not Talk About AI Wightbred and Brine definitely don't talk about AI, zine page counts, future warfare weapons that make you a wizard, whether Dark Secrets needs a hopeful counterpart and migrating off Discord. They also don't talk about AI some more. https://worldof.brine.dev/#post?s=e5\_lets\_not\_talk\_about\_ai
