JMAP is a bonus (other fastmail user here) bjt if I can do custom sieve rules and or unlimited aliases created on demand at (somestring)@customdomainiown.com thst I can then use the sieve rules to put into a folder of the same name as that email address, I would rather give my money to support Thunderbird. Fastmail is fine and all but they are in australia so they live on spyware island and they dont have good native clients in the works like thunderbird does.
Fastmail was developing JMAP for a while, it's not gotten a lot of uptake (mostly because Fastmails primary mail partners like Gmail, AOL, Yahoo and Hotmail are all 20 year old legacy dot com companies...did Microsoft spend all day trying to get Fairchild Semiconductor to play nice with them? No, they did a worse is better DOS and the rest is history).
But email is a least common denominator, and like how plan9 failed to take over from unix bc unix inertia, JMAP or deltachat IM over email won't take over bc of network effect inertia, I suspect.

Pretty sure it's because MS wants you to use Outlook New (New) New and Google wants you to use their web interface. Nothing to with them being old, but everything to do with owning as much of your data as possible and have as many opportunities to show you ads as possible.
I still tell myself if I going to vibecode a windows app, it will be native and suport 2000 and be a completely static linked executive. Petzold style programming may require memory unsafe legacy languages, but boy does the resulting small fast program with accelerafor keys and native themeable controls make me comfortable.
If you have Windows 11 it comes with this new (open source) `edit` written in Rust - open a command prompt and type `edit`.
This is somewhat amusing, considering all the bloat that it comes with otherwise. Even `notepad` has become rather... feature full... it has tabs, spell checking and AI...
Clever use of email delay features to provide extra motivation to pull out the thoughts and post them to yourself. Thats a good habit cycle to power up and use.
I used to do morning pages each day, but i stopped because it seemed to be too hard to maintain the discipline. Everything takes discipline for me to do, if I want to act better than an overgrown toddler, i do have adhd but thats a challenge not a get out of grow up jail free card.
Whoever robbed me of my joyous hope and reward for doing good like journalling, just know I will start that back up someday. Perhaps tomorrow
Yeah having the messages be e2ee by default and then extending it out to one or more groups depending in which circles are currently included for messages could let atproto act like an encrypted group chat with crisscrossing group chats per message, which can ratchet up and along with the new enceyption keys each message/batch of 10 messages/hour/day until that client is dropped from a group or a group is dropped from a conversation, then the keys change and pfs prevents old clients from continuing to read future messages.
Sure you can see that users emit messages in the pds but you dint know if its for your former group or other activitt
I like the fact that Sony's own Betamax victory in the past (when someone else tried to nail THEM for contributory copyright infringement) was used against them now. My, how the turn-tables turn!
This is what I've been trying to get nanobot to do, so thanks for sharing this. I plan to use this for workflow definitions like filesystems.
I have a known workflow to create an RPG character with steps, lets automate some of the boilerplate by having a succession of LLMs read my preferences about each step and apply their particular pieces of data to that step of the workflow, outputting their result to successive subdirectories, so I can pub/sub the entire process and make edits to intermediate files to tweak results as I desire.
For me its mostly that nanobot is very not stable, its only 0.1.4.post4 and who knows what software provenance it's got. Functionality that worked last week doesn't work this week (anecdote: I used to be able to do long tool chains and conversations back to back but after more recent updates, the tool seems to only do one tool write then report back that it's done more tool writings and I have to remind it to finish the job).
I still hold my uncles HTC dream and my droid 2 and wish for a landscape slider android phone. This is not Atlantis technology! Though it is 20 years old now, so probably there are HN readers here who think of that device with the same alien fascination I have for those who carried around Psion 3s in their college days when I was eating crayons.
that's one of my AI shower thoughts, an improved version of https://www.ollydbg.de/Paperbak/ s basic idea: write compressed computer data to barcode (1d), QR code (2d), multi-color barcode ('3'd), and so on.
But I keep hoping someone will finish the 'use lasers to burn 5d storage into glass chips' project silica concept and bring it to market so I can have isolinear star trek chips.
